[03 July 2008|01:35pm] sertrel The prepaid shipping box from UPS arrived last night; I packed up the Xbox and brought it to a nearby UPS Store. The box is a plain, white, unmarked box. No outward indications of its contents; no Microsoft or Xbox logos, and the shipping label does not mention Microsoft either. But as I approach the counter, the woman behind the counter smiles and asks, "Xbox?" And as I confirm, she says, "Yeah, we get a lot of those." Now, keep in mind that there are 4 UPS stores within 6 miles, and 22 other drop locations, including 2 Staples and 2 Office Depot locations. And yet, there's enough failed Xbox 360's for the box to be instantly recognizable to UPS. 8 comments|post comment

Ugh! Uploading shouldn't be this difficult! [03 July 2008|01:27am] ryanmakescomics I didn't write up anything on Tuesday, because it was Canada Day.  Since I'm Canadian, that was my excuse to be absent from the computer.  ;) Quick news! Banished!: http://banishedonline.com/d/20080128.html Sorry if this comic loads slow for some of you.  I kept trying to figure out why the file wouldn't upload into the FTP.  In a last ditch effort, I just changed the file type and uploaded it as is. We're now at the point where Vincent's excellent coloring is being applied to Andrew's excellent line art.  Makes a nifty combination, if you ask me.  :) Funny Farm: http://funnyfarmcomics.com/ It's the beginning of the end!  The cast is beginning to split up!  Say it ain't so!  D; The third book is out later this month.  Dontcha' forget! post comment

Day 181 [03 July 2008|12:29am] aki Day 181, originally uploaded by mer-made. I was aiming for a shot of the large post office near Madison Square Garden, but the building bit of the shot was crap. I thought the washed out sky and bird silhouette was nicer. post comment

In other news... [02 July 2008|11:23pm] kalamar [ mood | enraged ] [ music | None. ] There's a guy in Randolph who deserves to die. In this particular occasion, I fully endorces and encourage vigillantism against this man. I hope someone sets him on fire, and burns him alive. I hope someone kidnaps, abuses, and kills him. I hope her family gets to flip the fucking switch. Never in my life have I seen anything as fucked up as what Brook Bennet must have gone through in her last days. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Honestly. Can you even imagine? post comment

random project idea [02 July 2008|12:12pm] numignost For my "worlds enough and time category" ... I've thought in the past that a rewarding hobby would be to create replica Victorian scientific apparatus. But why not go one step further? Why not create replica Victorian cartoon scientific apparatus? Little cars that go uphill? Newton's cradles that abruptly stop? Liquids that undiffuse? Obviously trickery would be involved. But what fun! 4 comments|post comment

we went here [02 July 2008|06:08am] lli The first place Opal ever saw the ocean google images link since I have no scanner or image upload ability at the moment. There was once a small low resolution clip of that first visit online, back when web video was new and strange and in the hands of astronauts and rock stars. Tomorrow we head north with my parents. I'm not sure how much free time we'll have but I look forward to visiting Seattle again and seeing new places. More ferry drawings! I made it to the open etching studio, but the evil muggy inversion layer kept my ground sticky and there was no time to print. I'll be there next week though and it's all coming back to me. I love the fact that it's in a neighborhood I would be drawing in anyway. 3 comments|post comment

sleep disruption [02 July 2008|04:12am] sertrel Stupid sleep disruption. Today was exhausting; I didn't get back from work until 8:30 or so. I cooked dinner, and then fell asleep sometime around 11pm... only to wake up at 2:40am, being unable to get back to sleep. Fuck it, if I'm still awake in an hour, I'm just going into the office early... 1 comment|post comment

Hello! [01 July 2008|02:09pm] cappadocius [ mood | hot ] Hello, doccross and mscathylou! You are those rarest of creatures - people who friended me that I did not know from somewhere else first! Thank you for reading me, and if you don't mind, comment and let me know how you found my obscure little corner of the internets. 1 comment|post comment

Do Not Touch Lamp [30 June 2008|10:46pm] humanplacebo I failed to find a reasonable mail-order replacement switch module for the touch lamp, so just pulled it out and rewired it as an always-on lamp. However, since it is amateur electrician work on a touch lamp, I think I'm going to call it the "Do-Not-Touch" Lamp in the future, just to be safe. 3 comments|post comment

"Have fun getting your pooper touched!" [01 July 2008|01:01am] kalamar [ mood | okay ] [ music | Lupe Fiasco-Superstar ] I meant to write as soon as I got back from NH. Obviously, that didn't really happen. But I had a lovely time, as always. Two fun trail rides at Rocky Ridge, first on Buddy, then on Dan. Nice change to ride a totally reliable horse. But even nicer to ride my crazy ass horsie. Flume, notch, mountains. I swear to god, I'm a Vermont girl, but sometimes my soul wanders through the mist of the Franconia Notch's White Mountains. Made a friend which I rarely get to do these days. On a related note, I miss my Jeb like mad, I'm almost at tears-of-heartbreak level. It's been forever and that's so super sad. I need a couch. A couch, not Na's futon. I'll probably get a click clack. Work is out of it's damn mind. The Ativan I've been giving out lately... unreal. Tammy got her ass shoved into a wall and pinned there by a res this evening. Not a great one, you know? When all your folks buy is diet iced tea, and regular old Raspberry Snapple tastes like heaven. Yes, heaven has a taste. Know what it is? It's raspberry Snapple. Ok, I'm ready to try reckless again. I actually got thanked this time! It really threw me off guard. Chuck actually said 'thank you'! Usually, it's just "want to count?" not even 'hi, what's up?' This is a big change. I still hate working on days. Although the PT kids and Ryan made me feel specially today. All in all, the 1200-1430 on C Wing was rather ok. The 1430-2330 on B wing wasn't great, but at least I had Kimmy, and Annie to have lunch with. Ahhh, B Wing. Blowjobs were discussed. All was normal. Shazam! I love her, it's fantastic. It's all gone to hell there, but I'd still hit it. Cross my heart and hope to die. Regardless of that, please do NOT stick a needle in my eye. Let's see those daydreams, kid. I bet you'll never know what you're missing, as hard as you try to put your finger on it. None of us ever really do. Oh dear lord, why do boys dance like that? I almost got into a fisty fight! My computer keeps making noises that I don't understand. Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession. You know what I've been thinking lately? I need more hoodies and I need bright colored, tacky sneakers. I've always needed these things. But I can find hoodies. I long for crazy ass sneakers. Someday.... That store doesn't even ASK why you want to buy weapons! And, oh, did I. I bought a hitty stick. And pepper spray. And a real EMT bag, even though I am no an EMT at all! I'm awful. Baby, like a total fox. 2 comments|post comment

In the middle of many things [30 June 2008|09:33pm] mcmartin Since I usually only post here when I'm finished with things, that's kept things quiet here. Turned 30 last week, which is mildly annoying, as it always is when the wrong digit changes. Went to see Wall-E, which was a lot of fun, and about which I cannot make any non-inane comments since any non-inane comment is a horrific spoiler. Well, I guess I could lie, but ehn. Hopefully I will have more commentary as things start getting finished. post comment

Monstera Watch day 1 [30 June 2008|04:49pm] mizufae The label reads: The Delicious Monstera [monstera deliciosa] Monstera tastes like a cross between banana and pineapple. Use in salads, with cereal, drinks, shakes, sauces and a variety of desserts. Please wait for exterior green scales to fall away naturally then enjoy the creamy white flesh inch by inch. A tropical delight! I bought it at Whole Foods yesterday. It smells faintly like an unripe peach with a coconut backdrop. At the prompting of Rachel [not you, Rae] I will try to post a new photo each day. I am *most* curious about what this thing is going to be like. It is outrageously phallic. Yesterday I described it as a pangolin if it were green and a fruit. 12 comments|post comment
