Best Song Intro Ever

“…It’s about how when you can’t be with somebody, that maybe you weren’t ready to not be with… and you try your best to, you know, not obsess and be uncool, you know…  but maybe the situation is that every so often, when things are weird for them at home they, they still holler at you and break you off a little chunk, and … and you know you shouldn’t, but … but from where you stand, still all helpless and in love, a little chunk is better than nothing, even if it makes you sit at home drowning in self-contempt, ruins your whole workday, you just stand there for eight hours, just hoping to fuck that that guy you hate asks you how you’re doing, so you can look at him and lie and go, ‘I’m fine,’ just so you can make him wear that.

This song is kind of about how you feel in that kind of a situation.”

Waste not

The electricity the average American uses in their lifetime results in 68 tons of solid waste when generated using coal.

If produced by nuclear power, the same lifetime energy load results in 2 pounds of solid waste.

Just saying.

I’ve been (forced) to be working on a Windows machine for just about a month now. In that time, I have had to reboot it more than BOTH my Macs have been rebooted all year.

3.0 (at least)

So I’ve decided don’t want to maintain a full WordPress installation for this blog.(I got a healthy shove by way of another security warning for WP that I just didn’t want to deal with.) Plus I’m finding I don’t seem to feel the urge to write much long-form content. You may have noticed this, since I haven’t updated in months.

Thusly, I’m relaunching this on tumblr and we’ll see if that makes a difference.
