Embracing this new toy, if for nothing else, as a way to more easily control your brains through cinematic suggestion, I present to you (via the ftp) Animation:
The Point
-A silly little ditty from Harry Nilsson (yes, that Harry Nilsson) narrated by Ringo Starr.
Rock & Rule
-Find of the year, I tell you. Though it was last year that I found it...on laser disc...and just now got around to popping it into my giant laser machine. A surreal trip into an absurd future where bipedal house pets bring forth demons with the dark magic of rock 'n roll. Celebrity singing voices!
This second one I had to lovingly transfer and compress myself, which proved problematic (and the quality was pretty shitty to begin with), but now I think I have a system down, so there will be more obscure films to come when I find them at my place of employment as polite society does away with the rotting magnetic abomination that is VHS by giving them all away to the less fortunate. Personally, I enjoy the ghosted images and twiddling with the tracking. Also, I never actually pictured myself hunkered over a laser disc, a toothbrush in one hand and a cloth wipe in the other, painstakingly polishing away the scuffs. Not that I regret it, I just never thought I'd let things go that far...
My brain will be remaining on standby for the insertion of pretty, pretty pixels of your devising as well. Left to my own devices, I will otherwise end up filling my headhole with such nonsense as can be currently found in the shiny donation cup that is Videodrome...I like to picture it as one of those big red vortexes at the mall that you drop a penny in and watch it roll around and around and around until ffzZZOOOOOOMMMmClink! If I could go back in time, I'd shove my little fist in there every chance I got and pretend I thought it was a giant Take-A-Penny-Leave-A-Penny. One of these days, I may actually get around to looking up how to link directly to files on the ftp from here...maybe...

Everybody Smooch Comcast! Now, Wash Your Mouth!
I dunno, maybe they wear nice lip gloss....
S0 first, Juno. This movie is odd, uncomfortable, something megan would force tyler to watch while sunning-in his curly locks... thus, delightful. Don't pay monies to cronies for your viewing experience: take a dump on those arcane business models and fuckin' grab that shit from the FTP! I've completely traded in that new media, crinkly wrapper, over-stickered, over-packaged, plastic smelling high that comes from "legitimate" intellectual property procurement for a new kind of glee. This feeling I want to pin down is the deep-spinal arpeggiation I feel when worthless suburban bandwidth finds form and meaning in my waiting hands. With every byte I upload, still more with each imaginary byte that you and they download, I fill with bits upon bits upon bits of ethereal pirate fairy dust. I don't need to scrape up my pennies for extra plastic widgets and make lemonade out of a fairly gross, wasteful situation which only the music makes tolerable, reasonable; I piss a wide stream of it down a laser tube and into your awaiting mout... i mean minds... Anyway, I ramble...
How about some SCARY DEPRESSING SHIT!
1. This is another list. Just making sure you noticed.
2. Computers are scary. The past is repeating itself.

3. This is slightly scarier, though, at least there will be women. Ha ha, suckas!
4. This is ridiculous...
5. This is disturbing. Not the events so much as the fucking commentary. (I also kinda wish that digg wouldn't give away my punchline like that.)
Thanks ladies and gents. Try not to sever thine own pretty heads, goodnight.

Widening Out My Internet Habitus....
A list, for listing's sake.
A list, also, for a new year and renewed triad.
A list, mostly, to pass the time and to record the most recent path of my internet pacing, my digital mantra of late.
1. Apply for jobs --> constantly craigslisting
2. Look for housing --> somewhat less pressing craigslisting
3. RLSlog.net --> No one seems to have more insight into the great empire of the pirates
4. Mininova.org --> Maybe rlslog missed something?
5. isohunt.com --> you gotta be fucking kidding me... there must be a torrent for that!
6. shareminer.com --> maybe some music then
7. facebook.com --> oh jesus, nevermind... wait, holy shit! what is that tiny photo of? they're MARRIED!?!?
8. funfail.com --> gotta be able to search out some tunes somewhere...
9. sordo.freehostia.com --> alright, fine, let's see what these assholes seem to think is worth downloading...
10. boingboing.net --> no, i'm not going to watch boingboingtv!!
11. digg.com --> this is composting at its finest, all the raw informing power of the net ground up and packaged in a sophomoric candy shell...
12. achewood.com --> ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah ah ah ah ah...
13. wunderground.com --> check the weather... of course using the page that pays homage to the group of lunatic acid freaks who sprung timothy leary
14. edition.cnn.com --> just in case i want to see what paris and lindsay are up to
15. sparksfromflint.blogspot.com --> reminds me that i miss robby... and wish he wrote more... and am glad that he's no longer a member of the waldorf isolation great bloggers club...
16. andcomfort.net --> i wish i knew more about php... I need a blog template with a rotating background image like that...
17. minortriad.blogspot.com --> serious internet longing/ecstasy/inspiration with every view
18. tvokay.com/tv-links.cc --> they ain't tv-links.co.uk, but they are the gold standard in non-bittorrented video content these days...
18.1 ninjathis.net --> veoh download frontend --> vivá la liberación
19. convergent.blogspot.com --> candy!
20. Finally, when i'm really out of shit to do, i visit the vacant lots: most notably the as-yet-unused thingstodoonacid.blogspot.com --> classy!
