Oh god I want TO smoke SO bad IT sucks. 050107 May Day. Or is it Law Day? And why does it matter? 050307 I forget who it was pointed it out, but it's true (and the 09 F9... brouhaha only serves to reinforce it): The reason America is so obsessed with "intellectual property" these days is, it's fast becoming the only product of (debatable) value we have left with which to negotiate our place in the world! 050807 WOW! From the etymology of "collimate": ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: from Latin collimare, an erroneous reading (in some editions of Cicero) of collineare 'align or aim,' from col- 'together with' + linea 'line.' The word in use today comes from--yep--an optical character recognition error! Woo hoooo!!!!!!! If I die, will you kill me? WriteRoom is the coolest OS X application I have seen in a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ong while. Maybe ever. I can’t see anywhere if you actually _have_ to pay for it or not. So far, it seems as if the startup nag is the only limitation of non-registration. If so, that would be rad. It is so cool, I may actually pay for it anyway. Yah. Right. No! Really. Yah. Okay. Whatever. Yah. 052607 Whenever I watch movies like that, 052907 Passion. That's what keeps a cornball in the prime of his middle age from becoming a husk. That's it. That's the answer to all their fony interview questions. Passion. 053007 Integrity. It’s time to get out the integrity knife again. I’m freaked out, thoroughly biting my hair off my feet, and the only way to save me is to just start doing the things I’m supposed to do. One or two things a day, whatever, but I need to just do them. The fridge and freezer are always crammed so full you can barely shut the doors, but she doesn't stop buying food. We have too many clothes. The kids get too many toys. She can scarcely go a day without buying something. 053107 I am THIS CLOSE to going to the corner store for a pack of Camels. THIS MOTHER FUCKING CLOSE.
