Comment Commentary

Solo- Yeah, I tend to keep my shirt on at the beach.. I got teased for it, but when I was the least sunburnt white boy in the school the next day, I got the last laugh.

James- The whole metaphore thing was pleasant at first, but I got tired of it. The humor was okay.. But I still like the shotgun fight sequence in their house most.

Shin- I didn't want to see it, really. I just went as an excuse to get out of the house.

So, notice anything different? *twirls around and stares insidiously waiting for a reponse*

Heh. Well, it's obvious, of course, that I have a new theme, but it's a ritual of mine to ramble about how it came into existence in updates.

This one revolves around some photos on the White Stripes website, which departs from their typical red (mostly) and focuses on green. I enjoyed the colors in their Blue Orchid video, so I just kind of threw something together for their new album's release.

I had it done a week in advance, but I only put it up today because I had been trying to decide on which song to upload. I just decided on Red Rain ten minutes ago, and it's up now. From my point of view, it's much better than the previous techno thing, since there's actually a theme to it. I just wanted to use pink last time.

I initially had the title of this update in the intro, below the banner, but I took it out. Sort of took away from everything else's wordless mystique.

Anyway, feedback would be appreciated.

Nobody else has been home all night. My brother's at a friend's birthday sleepover and my parents went out to see Cinderella Man. So I've been sitting here, playing guitar, listening to music with the volume all the way up, doing this mO stuff, and hooking up these new phones we got.

Our longtime home phone was lost somewhere for two days recently, and it was left on.. So we couldn't find it through the locator button or anything. We found it eventually, but the thing doesn't work anymore, so my mom went out and got some new ones.

It's a set of four phones, so we can have them in different places in the house, but it only requires one phone cord. They've been sitting in this room for the past few days, in their pretty little plastic packaging, glaring at me like the little bastard-phones they are. Since nobody else was home, and I was bored, I decided to set them up.

First I had to open their containers. This was the kind of plastic containers that inspired this comic, which as we all know is some sort of demon-plastic that takes a fucking guillotine to open. Ten minutes and several cuts later, I had the thing open, and I had all the components laid out.

Then I realized I needed a DSL adapter.

We had one for the "transitional phone," but at least for the new phones' charging period, I needed two. The only other one in this house that works was hidden behind my brother's desk, which has lots of shit on it. It was very heavy, but I managed to move it, and grabbed the adapter. I plugged it in, hooked up the other phones, and the mission was complete.

They ring weird, though. It sounds not of this earth.
