Posting?

Yeah. Well . . . Busy. Tired. Burned out on somethings. Trying to work extra hours to pay for the laptop. Ironically, not working from the laptop because I have to work on some wood pulp thing.

I'll get back to it soon, promise.

So, anyway . . . Reading a good John Varley book that's been out of print for many years. Shh. Don't tell anyone. Found it for a buck at a book fair last weekend.

I also picked up Boys From Brazil. Never read it. Kinda curious.

Found some examples of my snarkier comments for StreamSearch on The Wayback Machine. This was during a period where I was writing the entire site, after they laid off all my friends. Admittedly, I had some fun . . . (WARNING: These pages are sloooooooooow.)

This is where we started.
Notice, only one strange comment. Only a simple statement below the titles. That would change, since we were bankrupt and I had nothing to lose. Too bad I couldn't find the day when I featured XTC's "Mayor of Simpleton" and compared the titular character to my company's CEO.

Example 1:
This one has a ton of French jokes. And this was long before it was patriotic to hate the French. Huh. I don't hate the French. I just think they are funny. All the film comments in the blue and gold section are pretty strange. Enjoy.

Example 2:
In this one, make sure to read the bits on The Forsaken, Amelie and Atlantis, about which I was very, very, very wrong. I'm a sucker for Steam Punk.

Example 3:
Notice the music comment. The French again. And a monkey. Heh. All the movie ones are pretty snarky. Tomb Raider and FOTR.

Example 4:
More snarky comments. A plug for The Green and Yellow TV.

Example 5:
Snarky movie comment about Jurassic Park III. But, then, notice how I took over the music section. Adventures of Jet, Elvis, Linus of Hollywood (I was always proud of that description) . . .

Okay. Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

Discuss Stuff and Things and, Well, Stuff
