Great, now I have that stuck in my head, too. It's a medley now. I guess I was lucky -- when a project I was working on was under a retired 2-star (and if he didn't have a Ph.D. in everything, he sure fooled me -- one of the smartest guys I ever knew -- I still have fond memories of him), he visited us all the time and got to know us on a first name basis, and insisted we call him by his first name as well. I even ran into him once at the Kennedy Center with my mom, and he was the perfect gentlemen and refused to discuss work. I do recognize he was -- how shall I say it? -- not your typical retired 2-star. It was my understanding that they had their sense of humor surgically removed long before then, and then surgically reintroduced later on up the chain. Well, from the stories I heard, he never lost his.

For that matter, it doesn't matter what color it is, as long as you can close your eyes and enjoy the sweet delicious music.

"Jenny", Walk the Moon: "Jenny's got a body just like an hourglass... But I'm taking my time, I'm taking my time... I wanna be the sand inside that hourglass... Take it slow, oh, oh, gonna make it last" (emphasis mine, as that's the part I like so much -- also, kickass song)

You gotta admit, that's pretty weird. Snarky response #2: SNAFU.

Happy Birthday! (party favour noise)

Really, it's just me? Ah, there we go. Nevermind, Todd, it was the clear one's cache and cookies thing.

I can't do those dragon volcano things -- they're too rich. But that still looks good. I do like 'em.

I still can't post from Infinite Dark.

Image from associated video -- Sylvester's Catnip Overdose (TKC 7.5): ...or maybe it's because I watch the TKC videos a lot. I mean, a lot. An unhealthy amount.

Hush Delirium Taster LP -- I thought this was a musical group, but it's a collective of like-minded artists. Dig, all the same, adds for a bit of variety. Mostly shoegaze-ish.

It's very yellow. Try doing an image search on red oxx saffron.

Thanks, now that's stuck in mah head.

Happy birthday, Tom! (party favour noise)

He died of a heart attack... :sadcat: ...on his way to a heart appointment. :sadcat: It would have been his 92nd birthday tomorrow. :sadcat: :sadcat: I, unfortunately, never saw him play live. :sadcat: :sadcat:

Namlook, Öçal, Sultan Orhan -- polyrhythmic bliss, for the first 11 minutes or so, and...you know, in hindsight, this is less Namlook and more Öçal.

Yeezh, dude.

And then their heads are so malleable at that point that they actually get squished coming out. Excrement is always gross, but I had forgotten that part. And the color is all wrong (red bordering on purple), and the skin is all wrinkly... (shudders)

Yeah, it's doing this to me now, too. Don't know about the logout part, I don't logout. But when I close the window, and come back, and open a tab into head-case, it's white again. And the bottom left hand corner is slightly different -- instead of just having a single "Change Theme" button, it has a thing that says click to change manually, and when I click it, it refreshes with the InfiniteDark theme.

That's...pretty freakin' ugly. But I could see how you could still be drawn to it -- I feel a need to protect myself, and that's just a bog standard picture.

Nate, if you have any kind of blocker (NoScript, etc.), try turning on ipscdn.com. Your company might be blocking it, but that was something new I had to turn on here.

Just tried it, works for me -- does it do that with all links? Also, maybe try site:head-case.org instead.

Yeezh, indeed. And: pictures? I need to see if there's anything uglier than a human baby. It is fucking annoying, I won't argue that. But you still have to do it. You just have to go to your happy place repeatedly and remind yourself that you are in the right on this. And approach them with the attitude of it's their problem, and they need to make it right. I agree with everything Nate says -- it's Amazon's problem for not delivering the goods, and it's the shipper's problem because Amazon hired them, not you. Until it's in your hands, it hasn't been delivered.
