You know how i’m always talking about how totally pornographic i’d be with a webcam? Or, alternately, are you a SurvivorCam fan? Well… a small brown box just arrived in admissions, and all it contains is packing material and your gateway to my luscious naked ass. Be very, very afraid.

So, now that i’m this mean php whiz (just nod your head and smile) this whole domain has become so much more fun to update! No more is the drudgery and hand-coding of tens of the same page over and over just to upload lyrics! Never again do i have to manually add a tab to the AniGuitar Archive! So, yeah. What made me think of that is that i haven’t uploaded lyrics for the oft-played “Up&Down” yet, and i was just reading a recent interview with Melissa Etheridge where she talks about write a breakup record, and she says “So instead of just being like break up and break down, it was more like, “OK, all I’ve got to look at is myself.”
I think that’s sortof the point of the song, in a more roundabout way… it’s not about breaking up and breaking down so much as it is about how all of the things in the song are just the up & down of the relationship and the wake of the relationship and that i finally came to the point where “I’m supposed to be friendly to you” just didn’t make any sense at all. Being friendly to someone is a respect that they earn, not a rule of conduct. So, i’m past the up and down and forced civility and just allowed to be a singular person again.
Also from Ms. Etheridge: “Oh, people don’t know how much I identify with Madonna. I’m a huge Madonna fan.” Rock on, Melissa!
Against some sizeable amount of odds, today i found myself browsing through Kottke & Megnut for the first time in forever and both of them had a post highly relevant to my little existance. Meg turns out to be a not-so-closeted ‘Sixers fan, as she goes on about her favourite players on our wonderful hometown team; Kottke took one of those ‘something against clouds’ pictures that always wind up as my desktop image for months on end (my current desktop is this picture taken by Noah Grey, which i would use on the Uprush splash page in a hot second if Noah was okay with it. But, he isn’t. Oh well… i think GreyMatter is enough to ask of the guy for now (well… Gm as well as more stunning pictures (blogged via Kottke))).
So, maybe sometimes forever is a wee bit too long. Who knew?
In a vaguely troubling turn of events, both Rabi and I found ourselves with a distinct lack of a posting template on blogger, with ours replaced with the generic “Hi, i have a blog” template that everyone starts out with. Attempts to alter the template have been fruitless, although publishing with them in place apparently has no effect on anything. Hopefully this is a sign of Ev finding the solutions to my archiving problems! Go Ev!
As if Microsoft wasn’t evil enough already, now they’re putting links into pages wherever they darn well please with their new Windows software. Watching the public relations people dig their way out of this hole is mildly amusing if you forget for a minute that the evilest corporation around is trying to weasel it’s way into another place where no one seems to want it just for convenience’s sake; they claim smart-links will be inserted onto pages that are underlinked, and that the feature will be incredibly easy to turn off. Right. Judging by my current technology curve i won’t be using the software until i graduate, but in the meantime i’m hoping this page has enough links as it is. And, anyhow, here’s one more.
