Alright, I've made it through the mist and tangles of the interweb and have finally made camp. I shall call this land Germania, because I am both a plagiarist and unoriginal. Most of this will be unfun, sometimes painful, sometimes unspeakably mediocre. I would ask you not to speak about those times. Which looks like it might not be a problem.
For today, I shall keep it short. I will not go into the eminent presidential election, and I will not waste your time with my opinions about how cool it is to be keeping a blog and how so many people will love this. You will not love it. You will tolerate it.
Idea's for what I'm going to do with my 10 acres and a mule:
Write down ideas. From my mind.
Post links to better websites and why I like them.
The Textblog!
On that last idea, I spent game 7 of the ALCS texting a friend of mine about the game. At the conclusion of the night, something like 50-70 messages had been sent, giving a decent rundown of my thoughts from the game. Not a bad idea to try out, and we might see one over the next week.
Random Link of the Day:
Dinosaur Comics! (www.qwantz.com)
6 panels of animation. Let's just get that out of the way. They only use 6 panels of animation, and they use them every time. You start off wondering how they pull it off, then you think it is kinda stupid, and then you grow to the point where you wouldn't like it nearly as much if it were different. The basic characters are T-Rex and two other dinosaurs with much harder to spell names. (If you read the first comic, you will know who they are.) The basic premise of the strip is something that I am drawn to a lot, civil, intelligent discourse about subjects that are so inane it is stupefying. It is a joyful mix of absurdity and debate, not poking fun of the bizarre nature of real life or laughing at popular culture, but just enjoying the simple fun of being slightly insane. I love it, and if you enjoy it come back, there will be more.
Quote of the Day:
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
Go to bed now.
