Parallax1

Went out to catch Parallax1‘s show tonight. Very cool, they’re a great bunch, and keep doing very interesting stuff with their music.

Not much other than that…stayed up to late chatting at VI again. Ah, well — one more day of work at Suncoast, and then I’m officially on vacation for the next three weeks. It’s about time!

Just a couple of quick changes at the moment. I’ve got a few more planned, but they’ll have to wait, as I’ve just been invited out to coffee at VI (Village Inn), and we must have our priorities, mustn’t we? (grin) Anyway…changed the ‘puter section of my main page to reflect the fact that I now have a whopping 20 Mb RAM in my machine. No, I’m not the least excited about this. (big ol’ cheezy grin) Also, as usual, a few more cd’s in my collection.

Well, Christmas has come and gone. Didn’t get much on my wish list, but then, that was expected…especially when the first item was a $2700 computer. (grin) Hey, I can dream. Did get some good books, hair clippers, a Sex Pistols t-shirt, and some other cool stuff. Let’s see. Well, no big surprise here…there are a few more cd’s in my collection. Um…not much else at the moment. (shrug) Don’t feel like working on anything else. Gerf.

Now that Photoshop 3.x has been out for a while, I was wondering if anyone out there might have an old copy of the 2.5 deluxe cd-rom they might be willing to part with. I’ve got Photoshop on floppy, but would appreciate an easier install when I need it, along with whavever other goodies might be on that…and my poor old IIvx with 8Mb RAM can’t quite handle v3, so am not upgrading. Would appreciate e-mail of any offers… wo…@alaska.net. Thanks a lot…

If you met yourself on the street, what would you think?

If I met me, poetry would spring to my mind (both of them):

A single rose
Shoved up your nose
You lick my toes
While in repose
My mother knows
Where Einstein goes
I’m in the throes
Of melanoma

Why? Because it is probably one of my few truly creative joint efforts with a friend, and as such, I am immeasurably proud of it, twisted though it may be. Therefore, when I saw me, each of me would remember the poem, start laughing, and go on our merry ways, only to have simultaneous nervous breakdowns at a later date, when the concept of the world having to cope with two of me actually beat its way into my intellect.

Okay, same rules as before – answers are taken until a week from today, when I send the next one out – but try to have them in by next Tuesday so we can get back onto the old schedule

Here’s the question:

“What’s it like being you?” (Please elaborate)

Being me…I blindly stumble through an undending maze of color, shape, and sound. Some of it makes sense, some of it doesn’t, all of it is amusing. I often wonder if these shapes control themselves, or whether I subconciously control them, creating the world around me as I go. If so, I have one hell of a sense of humor, for I currently find almost everything at least slightly amusing, and often laugh for what most people see as for no reason at all. However, as long as the world around me continues to amuse me, I see no reason to complain.
