Is that you, Alex Trebek?
Is it possible that the snot factory has started cutting back on production? Might I be feeling a little bit more human today? Maybe? Just a little bit (donāt want to jinx it)?
Why am I still online?
Are you hesitant to get your ārealā day started?
Do you know how awkward it is when youāre getting a little perfectionist photoshopping a Nazi armband onto a swanās neck trying to get the shadow right and your wife looks at your screen and asks for an explanation and the best you can do is say youāre fabricating evidence to prove swans are jerks?
Iām going to break form here, and not question anything. That is fucking bad-ass. Thank you.
You know how you look at other peopleās things and think ācool!ā then you look at your own stuff and only see a litany of errors? Should I get over still being annoyed by the shadow, the light/color temperature/focus being way out, and just be happy that Iāve added a Nazi swan to the internet?
Yes? When was the last time I tried to do art? Didnāt I make a comment in another thread about Nikkor lenses? Arenāt I some sort of technologist / programmer / security professional these days?
(Why do I miss being a delivery driver and spending my āsickā days rock climbing?)
Donāt I do that all the time with the warhammer 40k and other miniatures I paint even though I am pretty competent at it?
Have you been reading my diary?
Am I the only person around here who hasnāt read any of Ayn Randās works?
Have you ever listened to a Rush song? Can you imagine isolating Geddy Leeās vocals from the rest of the band and putting that in book form?
Havenāt I tried both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged several times, but just never been able to get more than 50 pages in before I set them down and move on? Is it that I just find them stilted and the concept of pure objectivism puerile?
Didnāt I know someone who was supertotallyinto Ayn Rand, and didnāt the obnoxious rhetoric he spouted make me want to give wide berth to the object of his adoration?
Have I not been equally unsuccessful in my attempts? Didnāt I actually use Atlas to replace a broken couch leg?
Does it count if you try, but throw the book across the room halfway through while shouting āBullshit!ā?
Oddly enough, didnāt RatBoy the Elder and I take two boxes of books to the Friends of the Library sale this morning, but there was no Rand among them? (And wasnāt it funny that the FotL lady saw us staggering up and she was all ānope, no way, we got too many, canāt take any more books today!ā until she started looking through them?) And didnāt we come home with $6 worth/half a box, and Iām calling it a win?
Lol, didnāt you made my evening?
And my husband questing what I was laughing about?
Who knew vaping would be such a contentious subject?
Would you feel not so alone if I said I havenāt read them either?
