If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

He did one of my favourite vids; Come to Daddy:
I actually ordered Come to daddy as well but they were out of stock, so I only got windowlicker. I saw Chris Cunningham (dude who made the videoclips of both come to daddy adn widnowlicker) live as a DJ/VJ last thursday, was pretty cool too. Pretty explicit though

Ordered an Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card to go along with my Swans M200MKIII stereo speakers. Recommendations told me that the card was the great victor for high-end 2.0 setups as well as output for headsets. Fits me perfectly!

Listening to Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi for the piano will never be the same.

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Nook update today! Improved functionality a lot - now you can search content not from B&N and organize into bookshelves.
Oh, and the page turns no longer do the ghosty stuff.
It's quite good.

Happy means family to celebrate with, for the Thanksgiving holiday. We'll have more food than we can eat, more leftovers than we can store. Pretty sure there will be containers and foil wrapped foods packed in the trunk of my car when we prepare to leave. Someone will even sneak wrapped Christmas presents in there, too. We'll undoubtedly watch a bunch of movies, we all love movies. We'll share stories and laugh. Someone will bring out a damn photo album or funny home video. We have tickets to see the Barn's collection of art, that should be nice, even though the kids balked a bit. We were going to try a segway tour of Philly, but that fell apart. My sister also made reservations at some great restaurant, and had to call back in September with a specific number of people.
I'll see both my sisters at the same time, something we don't do often. My kids will see my side of their family at the same time, and it will be for a holiday with laughter and food and celebration. But not for Christmas, which means presents and other stuff. Thanksgiving is a great holiday for getting family together, but not for too long, and not with too many demands or expectations from anyone. I'm sure my sister feels pressure to decorate and clean her home, and anticipate every single need for every single person. Sleeping and bedding particularly, because we're a family that doesn't sleep well in strange places. We'll have a choice of down or feather or synthetic pillows. All with freshly laundered cases. She'll turn up the hot water heater for multiple showers, and put out fluffy white towels and new bottles of shampoo. Something happened when she married this family, because every time we take a shower there's a whole new bar of soap in the bath. Everyone gets a little basket of toiletries, fresh toothbrush and razor, cute bottles of mouthwash and deodorant. Sounds like a lot of work to me, but maybe that's why we're going there for the holiday. Her mother-in-law has probably been cooking for the last month, all sorts of Greek delicacies. She probably laundered and pressed every doily, and sorted out the good holiday china. Last year, we drank some of her special cherry liqueur that had aged for at least a year, in tiny little footed glasses meant just for liqueurs.
I picked up an over-night graham cracker cheesecake thing, might try to get some flowers on the way there, too.
I am so grateful for so many things! I need to remember and celebrate that more than once a year. More than a birthday or Hallmark holiday or a anything on the calendar. We all should, but it's not so easy. Is it?
From the messing with groove thread.
Well, the vet just called. Turns out the swelling is mostly benign. There are some small malign elements in it, and it may turn out that at the back of the nose there are more, since he saw growth there which is unlike a benign swelling, but at least it gave him enough reason to want to operate Sjimmie to remove it. After doing that he'll send more samples to the lab and it still may turn out to be bad. But this is much better news than he expected.Our cat has been to the vet. She has a tumor in her nose. They think it's malign, but there is a slim change it's benign. We'll know at the end of this week, or beginning next week. If it is malign they can't operate it and soon she won't be able to breathe through her nose. And then she has to be put down
Fingers crossed for the small chance it is benign.
Yay! Against all odds! Sjimmie gets to brighten our lives with her silly antics a little longer than expected.
So, this aint over yet, but I'm a happy camper still.

She's a cute calico kitty, good news! How do you pronounce Sjimmie? Is that like "Yimmy"?
Pronounced like the dance "Shimmy".

Shimmy? That's a sweet name for a sweet kitty. She looks so happy sleeping in your arms. Cats have nine lives, it's true!

Good news

It took me awhile to decide if I was happy or having a messed up groove about it, but my daughter got her hair cut off today.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
Is she going goth?
Hope is the denial of reality
Wouldn't that mean she dyed her hair black and didn't cut it off?
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
I thought they did both?
Hope is the denial of reality
I'm sure they do...

Since the weather decided to be so cold, I got to thinking about how wonderful it is to have a place to live that is warm and dry, have lots of food in the cupboards and freezer, and in general, a great place to rest my Munchkin head at night!
I don't have a problem with authority....I just don't like being told what to do!Remember, the toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!RIP Fluffy! 01-07-09 I'm so sorry Fluffster! People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life! My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely!The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does!
Atari bullshit refugee!!
Bought the Borderlands 6 pack on Steam, if any of you gamers don't already have it, I've got some spares.
Unless our Zigz has a fondness for wearing flowery tops and pretty bracelets, I'd say that was his lady's arms and not his own ...
The flowery top is the bed sheet, but the braces, and the arm is indeed the gf

I had left a flask of some reaction mixture in the fume hood at work, and I hadn't touched it for a week because of holiday. Today I was about to begin the workup when I noticed the tap of the flask had fallen off - apparently pressure had built up in the flask and the tap was shot out sometime during the week. As a result most of the solvent and reagents had slowly evaporated, and a small amount of the most lustrous crystals I have ever seen had precipitated in the remains of the reaction mixture. And not only they're pretty, they seem to be of much higher purity than anything I had managed to obtain in this reaction before.
Procrastination FTW!
