notes from the frontlines

is anyone reading the twitterfeed i linked to at the bottom right of the page? it's mine. most of it is quotes of other people though.
i had a nerdy moment earlier thinking about our global currency fiat system as a networking protocol, and how the banking + goverment "users" have effectively "hacked" it. we need better security.
yeah, where was i: it's funny being so invested in the S.Q... i never thought i'd see the day where i'm making car payments and holding down two jobs and i can accept my mom's friend request on facebook and i only play guitar drunk.
i can feel these cute little punches of anger from inside, pointing out, like i'm about to birth a revolution.
except that's silly, i don't think my body can make a baby. in other news i've decided that i want to go to mime school. i need to practice and i think a little instruction would make it better. all these years of doing the stupid box routine where you pretend you're stuck in a box that only you can see and you bang your head against it and try to look through it and you can't get out - well i suddenly realized today that i'm not very good at delineating the box with my motions, so although from my perspective i'm in a box, from the outside i just look dumb.
this is all literal. i'm almost done with lolita. the last 50 pages are taking forever because i got caught up in a new comic book called DMZ put out by DC. it was a glorious waste of 4 hours. i read 53 comics. i'm up to date on the series. i'm hooked. i'll have to start watching tv again, if only to temper my addiction with something slightly less awesome that still satisfies the same urge to be entertained.

maybe you can tell that i'm in a weird late night existential mood, which has historically been very good for me trying to put my head on paper. ooo i think i'll go play guitar (sober).
anyway i miss all the friendly squids. we're still kicking it here at baohaus 2.0 but it's not the same. in some ways it's better because i've been building things out of twobys and ply every week for 2 months and the house looks like a plywood-gaudi masterpiece, but that's for another post.
lots of love

  1. i support you in going to mime school! i would totally drive across the country to come to your school open house. and i think your body might be able to birth a revolutionbaby...but it might hurt.
    yum comics sound good but hm tv can suck your soul out...be careful.
    can't wait to see/hear/experience more of your gaudi-esque building magicks. i love your face and miss you in my world. i think you might really like milking goats and building stuff here and playing around with arduino circuitboards and programming solar panels and stuff. plus i'm still making biscuits. (today they taste kind of fermented...?)
    don't let the s.q. pull you in too close...you're a hi-flying freebird.
    love,

  2. cookies are a sometimes treat
    is what the cookiemonster said
    but i'd eat a cookie any day
    n i'll see that cookie monster dead

    once he was a comraaaaaaaaaaade
    he ate cookies all the time
    but now he eats those carrot sticks
    and makes the kiddies cry
