coverage of royal wedding acts as helpful reminder that i need to get out of this fucking country before it kills me.
I think this is Quest 64! Everything there sounds super generic on paper but in the game itself it's just that bit stranger and uh more blurred somehow / direct living embodiment of violently colourful yet indistinct Nintendo Power screenshot. The beginning of the game is like the middle of a conversation with some old priest without any kind of establishing shots or anything and then you have to leave a bizarrely spacious monastery filled with empty rooms and just enough conspicious details to seem meaningful. Whole corridors filled with doors leading to the same generic empty room and your caracter has slow elaborate animation for opening each door. Also the camera angle is just that bit off all the time and there's this strange cooing music going on. And everything has really bright Diddy Kong Racing graphics too.

that reminds me I have to make more N64-style pilotwings hanglider music

Fuck...

Also, updated to firefox 4. A.K.A. ChromeFox. I like it.

I like it too but my favorite add on 1-Click Weather isn't compatible with it yet.  I'm too lazy to go to the Weather Channel website hhaha.

It turns out I missed my class's final year get-together from not checking my emails enough. This feels like a weirdly appropriate coda for my time in college, as does the mixture of dread and burnout depression that accompanies the exam season. Go Class Of '11. I was bad at all of it to the extent that I still honest to god can't walk through campus without feeling an overwhelming urge to curl into a ball and weep but at least I got some reading done and I think I've learned some stuff, even if it wasn't what I was supposed to be learning. If that sounds like a pretty halfassed excuse then it's because it is!
 
It feels pretty obnoxious to let this stuff SEEP THROUGH CAREFULLY MAINTAINED E-PERSONA apropos of nothing yes so here's a neat video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rPILhiTJv7E. It's about abandoned ghost cities in China that get built to increase the GDP despite being vacant shells. There's lots of places like this in Dublin, huge new apartment complexes that are pretty much empty. They're not particularly evocative or strange or interesting at all, just boring non-places everywhere. There's one at Smithfield where a cinema used to be; the cinema closed and now it's just vacant space and pompous committee-designed murals with pictures of martin luther king jr and "sixties" design styles with "inspiring" quotes and a bookies with a few sad old men waiting outside. It's an enormous empty square, bigger than a soccer pitch. There's another in the old Docklands section of the city which is just abandoned office buildings dotted with a few coffee shops. It's pretty much entirely empty aside from builders and homeless people. There's a bunch of almost empty apartment complexes all around where I live too. In highschool I used to kind of want to live in one of those huge deserted buildings from Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep and it looks like I may well yet!!

It's good that he did, because as far as I've heard the Donald Trump roast had almost no roasting going on at it because he's a huge pussy.

I hate this place and I want to move theres really nothing holding me back anymore. I've realized I don't owe anyone a goddamn thing family or no and I just want to be alone I'm tired of people trying to use me.

HOW THAT MIRROR GOT IN PLACE. BACK IN 57 I RESCUED SOME GIRLS FROM MAIM-HAMS THEY WERE WOUNDED WE ALL WENT ON THE SHOW. THEN THE NEXT GROUP OF WOUNDED WENT ON. THE SLOBS WERE HAPPY ABOUT THEM BEING BEATEN ON. I CALLED? UP THE SHOW TO HAVE THEM EXPOSED I SAID I NEED THE NAMES OF THE MAIMHAM SLOBS EXPOSED TO INTROVERT THEM I GAVE THE NAMES SHE CAME UP WITH THE MAGIC MIRROR.
