Re: Love & Radiation - It's really all about meter.

Hehehe. No, that's a reference to my Choosy Parents post right before it.

A few weeks ago a shrill feminist was very angry that the line is "choosy moms choose Jif" and wanted to know why it couldn't be "choosy parents..." I pointed out that had poor meter. She didn't appreciate that.

Re: NOLAGrrlNYC, I find myself frustrated today

Thanks. I'm not trying to shame anyone into reading, reading immediately, or even liking what I produce. People like what they like and that's fine with me. This is a more general complaint, exacerbated by being tired and having busted my ass last night...producing original content.

It's not just this chapter I'm talking about. I find it's true of all the writers' output at TMC, my drawings (not that they're great or anything,) and original poetry, stories, etc. from a variety of people. There's an oft-repeated sentiment that Tumblr is just a circlejerk of reblogs of cat pictures and the like...but for the most part that seems to be what people really want to see.

It takes me a lot less time to find an old picture of Lynda Carter and post it than it does to write or draw something. I do it because I'm compelled to do it but I get massively irritated when I later hear people - people who follow me - complain that there's no original material on Tumblr.

Sorry for venting.

If you ever need coverage, I'm always happy to trade. That assumes I actually get back to writing soon, of course; otherwise, you'd just be getting free coverage. :)

That sucks. I hope it isn't anything you can't work out with a minimum of pain and expense.

Re: I step away from you guys for one day and Simon tries to unseat me as resident naysaying asshole?

coyotesqrl — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:27:42 -0000

Yeah, I got it. I meant because I'm one or the other of those things I recognize them both. Simon's definitely a crybaby manchild and Ross is definitely an asshole.

And we all know which is better. :)

Anyone we know, or just a random sucker?

Uhm, I thought I was too. Fixed.

Ack. I thought you were following me. I gave your eyebrows and 'stache a dye job.

I'm so-so at it. More Watson than Holmes but sometimes that's enough.

Re: Hey guys, where's the unemployment line?

Very, very sorry. I hope you find a new, and better, job soon.

I hope you click on that image I posted. It's a gif but didn't animate for some reason.

Re: Something's amuck with this spongecake - I need a new job.

I support hippie barista writer as a lifestyle/career choice. As long as...

1. You don't mind the smell of patchouli from your hippie friends and/or hippie self
2. You like getting steam burns
3. You like rejection
4. You're not attached to things like "cars" or "roofs over your head."

;)

Ugh, you're right I know you're right. That's why I have this fantasy of dropping out and becoming a hippie barista writer. ;)

That sucks. And is why I so frequently jump jobs, trying to get a breather from the soul-crushing reality of doing something I hate for a third of my waking life and having it encroach on my thoughts unbidden, unheralded, and unwanted in the other 2/3.

But the jump is temporary. There's the brief honeymoon of a new *place* but it's the same old thing.

Sorry.

Re: Something's amuck with this spongecake - OH! And brown bread. How could I forget brown bread in a can?

kaffeineme — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:31:41 -0000

The nuts would kill me, but date bread...mmmmm.

Re: Something's amuck with this spongecake - OH! And brown bread. How could I forget brown bread in a can?

coyotesqrl — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:11:15 -0000

Or good date nut bread.

I'm passing up the public joke because even though I think most people know this is you, I wouldn't presume to break the virtual embargo. Oh, and it's not that funny. But here it is:

Looks like Crankiest Pants forgot to wear them again today. She's spending more time without pants on than Clarence Thomas under his robes.

That's a remarkably brave decision; leaving "happy enough" is scary.

Good luck.

That is truly, truly awesome. For something similarly cool, have you seen the video of the Samsung SSD RAID? I just tumbl'd it.
