I'm very tired of ninjas, zombies, and pirates. Let's talk about bounty hunters or whirling dervishes or something.

One more Carmina Burana sample, and that's when I take out my revolver. Some years ago, znuh got fed up, bought a synth, and made his own damn music, and it was good. I sometimes want to do that, but I fear the learning curve. I psyche myself out completely every time I consider it. If I really want to do this, I'll have to shadow someone who's already doing it.

99.9, "The Electric Front" on live365.com has given me some pleasant surprises. Best damn remix of NIN's "Slipping Away" ever. Dunno what it's called. It's 6:11 long, and it's great -- that's all I know.

Had dinner with canongrrl, nepenthe01, and darla at Tacos Lupita last night. They make a good beef burrito, those Mexicans. Use the green sauce liberally.

Last night, beer, nachos, and constructive conversation with fusion_waste. We have work to do, because life is now, not later.

Today has been good. Nothing extraordinary, just a pleasant day. I feel content. I'm hoping to catch Constantine with darla tonight.

Stupid Idea of the Day

Buy an old full-size 4x4* pickup. Pull the engine. Cram as many VW flat fours under the hood as you can. At least two, I figure. Maybe three. Air-cooled six-liter flat twelve truck! Imagine the sound: like a dozen forks in the garbage disposal.

How would one coordinate the engines, and mate them to the manual transmission? Maybe I should just get back to work.
