a couple of neato things you should check out: someone from #penny-arcade made an ascii version of the image above; it’s right here. avery, another #pa regular, turned me into an anarchy online character. it’s mad cool, and there’s a screenshot here. finally, jonathans used one of my photos for a sacrificial altar in one of his counterstrike maps, and that’s right here.
just a quick note for the moment: my instant messenger account has been cracked by a certain obsessive fucktard, so my normal username on aim is NOT me. i’ve got a new account now and i’ve notified the people on my list.
blah. nothing exciting today. got mail from the metropolitan opera; i think i might check out il travatore when it opens. or don giovanni. i’m torn.
batcave tomorrow with gundam and croo. it’s all fun and games till someone loses an eye.
some webcam stuff: the cam url has been moved to http://caoine.org/new/webcam/current.jpg and the archive has been moved to http://caoine.org/new/webcam/archive/. the files in the archive (over a hundred of them now, w00t) have been renamed to a mmddyynn.jpg format instead of ddmmyynn.jpg, so they now appear in chronological order in the directory listing, most recent at the bottom. also, the hardnews camportal is still the only portal that has my permission to use my webcam image, so if you see it elsewhere, please let me know.
saw e-craft last night at downtime. i met up with gundam around six thirty and we went for food at maui tacos. red and black tortilla chips - how rivet. they fucked up my order and gave me two chicken tacos instead of one vegetarian taco, though. i yelled at them.
after fewd we wandered over to sephora and i bought more of my blue eyeliner since i ran out while doing my makeup - urban decay liquid liner in radium. that stuff kicks my ass. we were running mad early but eventually we met up with matt at penn and walked over to downtime where they let us in early i guess because we were on the list. talked to hellraver and spencer and everyone, then sat through battery cage. gundam got us up front when e-craft finally went on, which was cool because at downtime there’s no barrier between the floor and the stage, so you can be right up against the stage. the e-craft vocalist was very big on crowd interaction - he shared his water with me and let gundam spank him, among other things. so that was fun. after the show i was beat though and pretty much headed home. gundam and matt were sweet enough to walk me to the train station, and i dozed most of the way back to my place.
today i woke up really late and was invited to a little fourth of july barbecue my landlord was having, so i made an appearance at that. it was weird because i don’t really ever talk to my landlord or my neighbors except when i’m paying rent or there’s an issue with the garbage or something. they’re pretty nice for the most part. strange, but nice.
it’s pouring now. thunder and all. i am sipping some code red and listening to a mix cd gundam made me. hooray.
i am so very sleepy. i am still recovering from saturday night - the kind of recovery that necessitates some serotonin replenishment. i’m sleeping a lot (and really well) and taking a bunch of 5-htp, and overall i feel fine, other than tired. i feel pretty good actually. i had more fun at batcave than i’ve had in months, easily. and it’s all gundam’s fault. i totally understand the appeal of blacklight-reactive stuff now. heehee.
mountain dew code red == tasty. no substitute for jolt of course but yummy nonetheless.
talked to bryan some more; i was in kind of a funk late last week and he was really sweet about the whole thing. he’s one of those people who can just listen to you bitch sometimes instead of always having to give advice, which can be really nice.
i’m going to see e-craft at downtime tomorrow night with gundam and croo; that should be entertaining. i’m not sure who else is going yet. gundam and i are going to hit maui tacos beforehand - that place just rocks. i first went there with james way back in the day - that must be over a year ago now.
i need to get a god damn toaster oven. i have a coffee maker fucking finally, but i want my toast, dammit. really strong coffee and rye toast is like my favorite breakfast ever.
