Ugh.

Best acceptance speech ever.



Haircut in Chinatown today while I waited for my lenses to be cut. I forgot how much I like hanging around the Chinese. They were all glued to some shitty soap opera regarding fencing, set to pumping techno, including the guy cutting my hair. Then later I went to my school's health services and had my ears flushed out after a week of putting drops in there and not being able to here a goddamn thing, wondering how I was going to look with a hearing aid. It is amazing the amount of stuff that comes out of there, although the water shooting through your inner ear feels like someone is fucking your brain. Now I have Daredevil hearing. I had to cut my phone's volume in half. If you have insurance, I heartily recommend it. It's really amazing.

I was dancing around to this video this morning, and suddenly started really going for it, as if I were Hammer not touching it or something, to the point where I got a bit winded and had to sit down, just in time for the saxophone break. Nice.



Time for the most self centered post I've yet done. Regular readers know that I don't really post pictures of myself on the site, with only one previous exception. Black Tintin has done well enough. But... well... here goes.

So. Rewind a few years, to me before I got glasses. (That's my old room. A disaster.)


Good times. After glasses.



Not a bad deal. Glasses, a shirt and jacket, and a pack of cigarettes.
So let's see me present day, sans glasses again. (New room. Lurvely.) Hmm, Photo Booth is so boring. I know! I'll throw a fireball. The video will be more fun than actually explaining what I mean. Hadouken!








Blocked.


And then, new glasses.


Goodbye. (I'd say another couple years before I post more pictures of myself. Congratulations, Maggie! I miss you.)

I suppose I can just hand in my internet dignity card right now. I suppose my intellectual ambitions are flushed as well. Two 'fer.

That Streetfighter video was the best thing I've seen in months, hands down.

Also, after that description, you need to dance during your next radio show.

And hurray for hadouken pics!

Whoa.

And whoa, my captcha is "imaramen"—like "I'm a ramen!"

Awwww. Miss you, too. I will never get new glasses again, because this child won't let me leave the house due to her insatiable need to be fed. I don't think I can get that cataract test with a baby attached to me. Yours look good, though!

Agreed on the Street Fighter video...one of the strangest but most entertaining bits I have seen in some time.

And an apology, as I am just now catching up on past posts. I have been quite out of the loop.
