Rant

I hate your smart phone because of it's impact on my personal computer user interface experiences and the increasingly limited control I have in windows to "find information" or "make information available in all my different folders". Where the fuck are the settings for the detailed folder view. The default column/data-tags/information-tags are "name,/" "date modified,/" "type,/" and an inaccurate "size,/"... why the fuck do I...

Well I thought about this some more and a better revenge would be to rip out the index and glossary sections of all the books and replace all of the covers on similar books with the same book cover that's just an icon and a title. I haven't quite gotten frustrated enough to try and draft a "comedy" sketch of this scenario because when I do try I usually just end up writing "fucking fuckers can go fuck themselves" for all the dialog. Even Edgar A. Poe could write better dialog than that.

For example on my cook book shelf I have 4 books with coffee in the title. But I can tell you they are not all the same. Labeling as the same would be a mistake.

Distorted Circuitry

Did anyone else listen to DJ Morgana's Distorted Circuitry (out of Montreal, I think) ... I bought a bunch of cd's during a fundraiser and found a cache of her show's on some burned cd's. Oh man. Data transfer on hard copies. Sooooolowtech

Pinball Madness in Banning

I had a lot of fun. Pinball Madness also featured a working Superman & Hercules. Apparently Hercules is the largest pinball machine ever made. There was also a mario pinball machine which may be the smallest pinball machine I've seen that wasn't a decorative novelty item but the photo I took of that is very blurry. I really enjoyed Barracora which is a little strange. I tend to think Williams pinball machines are just noisy and gimmicky. Although I also very much enjoyed The Machine by Williams and really want to take enough time to flip that face 3 times. I also played the new Tron Legacy pinball machine by Stern (I think) but the photo didn't come out for that either.

That looks awesome!

It was pretty great. A three day event too. I was only able to attend one day or else I might have tried to play more of the newer Stern machines. They're much more complicated than the pinball machines I am used to. And I'd put up a defensible high score on Joust or Gyruss! Hehe.

Today I wasn't a hermit.

Well I had a lot of fun at Pinball Madness in Banning, CA. I'll have to keep my eye on the pinball museum's calendar. Frustrating high scores on Gyruss and Joust that I couldn't over take but eventually I filled up the score boards under them with my efforts! Seriously though... somebody put up a score of Joust for over 900,000 and didn't sign it....

There's a great vintage pinball arcade near a great hiking spot in PA if you're ever in that neck of the woods.

Maybe in the future we pair bond based on how different our prescribed addictive habits are, like binge watching. As a healthy expression of opposition. Ex. "Oh I love my husband and it's so it's so wonderful, he likes long nature documentaries. It keeps us from getting wrapped up in a show like Mr. Robot. Which is so powerful and driven even if I'm rewatching...

hahahahaha That would be so sad, but I could totally see it. It's just another layer in the idiocracy cake.

My life is boring.

I think that somebody in the health care system must just really want to write soap opera's for a living. That question-are reads like a script outline. I really resent it.

Just working my way down the old (as in previously put together) play list. Songs you might hear if you lived down the street from us.
