    ---Sunday! It's the day that nothing gets done. So, I'm going to work on scripting again. But not yet. It's not the perfect temperature. My feet are too cold. There's still a crick in my neck from sleeping weird. It's not light enough. I'm not awake enough. I'm hungry. I'm in the wrong mind-set. (repeat until tomorrow)

    I fell asleep wearing my big stupid headphones listening to Machines of Loving Grace. Woke up with a strange urge to listen to Faith No More's 'Introduce Yourself' and write the following list.

  Glorp

    If web designers made cars:

  • Freelance Web Designer:

    The car is made of stolen chunks of other cars. It is painted black and has a single dial on the dashboard, which is labeled "glorp" and has no numbers on it. It has the manufacturers name painted in two foot glow-in-the-dark letters on the hood.

  • Amateur Dabblers:

    The car is painted blue and pink, with a huge pair of horns sticking out of the front. It has various kitchen appliances glued to it, which the designer thought were 'neat' and got from a swap meet. Car doesn't actually go anywhere, or just tells you to go to another car. (It's under construction)

  • Mid-level Dabblers:

    Car is color coordinated, with furry seats and power windows. It has a beautiful design on the outside. It has a top speed of 3 miles per hour. You can't turn the radio off. (and it's labeled 'under construction')

  • Professional Interactive Designers:

    The car looks like a flaming, chrome centipede. It is controlled by levers labeled with disturbing nude scenes. No one understands it.

  • Corporate Web Designers:

    The car is made with an automatic car generator, which puts a lot of unnecessary parts in strange places. Creator doesn't actually know how a car works, but spends a lot of time adjusting the rear view mirror.

  • Marketing personell:

    Car has pretty picture of truck painted on it, has no tires.

  • Andrew:

    Car is lime green, and made of styrofoam and twist ties. At least it doesn't look like all those other cars!

    Note: You are not on this list. Your web pages would be Ferraris and Rolls Royces.

    Since I haven't been depositing money into my Hawaii bank account, my computer loan has not been paid for the past two months. In addition, my mother is sending me a bill for $380, for phone use. Also, my teeth are really screwed up. A bunch of my fillings fell out and eating is agony. My medical only starts paying after I pay the first $250.

    Urgh. Those are the things that are eating away at my brain run-time. Writing them down makes them a little more tangible. Is that everything? Hmm. Also, I could get a job with Taos in Silicon Vally making literally twice what I make here, but moving there would put me too far away from the band. What has the band ever done for me? Well, financially nothing. But I'm getting this feeling with increasing frequency that I want to be doing something that I can't do, and I'm pretty sure that something is playing a club with the band. Okay, I feel better now. I'm going to go write those scripts.
