Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon coeur
D'une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure
Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.
Paul Verlaine, "Chanson d'automne"

No idea what to say about this. Flash doesn’t work on the TiBook, so I’m posting this as a reminder to check it out later when I have a better computer. It’s bookmarked. Of course, I could’ve just favorited the tweet, but, well, you know. Lazy.
Argo fuck yourself!

Another B-52s joint. Dance this mess around!
RIP Earl Weaver. You will always be the Orioles manager for the city of Baltimore.
Not a Jaguar, but still fun little song to play on a Fender. BTW, got a nice new guitar; a mahogany Taylor GS Mini. That makes 4 guitars: the Tele, the Takamine dreadnought, the Epiphone dot, and the GS Mini. That also makes 4 things I own with the “mini” monicker, the Mini Cooper S, the MacMini, iPad Mini, and the GS Mini. I like small things what can I say.
This kind of scares me: ruthless striving for efficiency causes complexity. Here's anecdotal evidence from the banking industry. The pursuit of efficiency doesn't make things simple at all. I wonder if this is a type of paradox that has yet to be named. I wonder if my bank works the same way. Most likely, it does, and I am kind of scared.
Long live pinball!
I’m not sure that Jersey Jack will save pinball, but I’m sure that he’ll have gun trying. That game looks spectacular, and I bet the storyline works wonders. I can imagine unlocking the Lion’s heart or the Scarecrow’s brain then falling into a multi-ball frenzy. It’s gotta to be fun. I so want to play this.
Will it still be a quarter?
Django Unchained is Quenton Tarantino’s spaghetti western. In a similar vien as Sergio Leone’s “Man with no name” trilogy, it follows bounty hunters, or as the English translation called them bounty killers. One bounty killer frees the slave, Django, and they go looking for more bounties. After they collect their bounty, they go after Django’s wife in Candieland.
I feel that this one is not as good as Inglorious Basterds. It was not as thrilling. Yet, in some scenes it would get good.
Overall, I don’t think this matches Leone’s spaghetti westerns. It’s just something different.
