Newsreel

Assassination’s harder than it looks.

South Sudan’s real elections were the friends you made on the way.

North Dakota may rejoin the 21st century.

Alberto Fujimori died of himself.

Pager sales dipped.

A nearby asteroid refuses to commit.

Today's Mood

Lady Gaga’s flying dress. I wrote an article about this, during my fashion magazine stint. Also, I had a fashion magazine stint. Life’s long and strange.

War Journal

My palindrome birthday’s Monday, so we’re doing a Q&A special again. If you have anything to ask, deep or shallow, sane or insane, comment here. I’ll answer in Monday’s bonus post, with either mirth or insight. Maybe both!

Natural topics include Extra Evil/my strange books/1900HOTDOG work/anime nonsense/the music of the spheres/your dog. Wing it. Don’t worry, I like talking.

Ignore the newsreel’s tone, I’m in a wonderful mood. I may have hit a rare bit of personal luck. The wider world and life on the ground rarely sync up, unless you run a country or act like you do.

It’s a two way street: if Eric moves into a cell, I’ll probably joy-cartwheel into traffic. If we contain climate change, I’ll have to deal with my extended island family. And if we leave Earth behind, I’ll forget my wallet on the surface.

See? I have to invent visions of doom to stay balanced. I’d probably segfault otherwise. The curse of the Advanced Clown.

I’m not going to survive the cyberpunk jump. Loving Oreo Coca-Cola means I’ll be the first person to replace his arm with a weed whacker.

Don’t buy gag gifts early. I’m stuck staring at this thing, wondering if it’s clever at all or I’m a terminal idiot. It’s like watching your SAT score load by the pixel.

The Present

The Past

Last year’s birthday special was a good time. I suppose this is tradition?

The Future

Again, Q&A next Monday. The internet can be fun! Let’s have fun.

Not Brought to You By

WW1 recruitment posters, Round Two. The front needs bodies. Obviously, reading these as myself hasn’t been fair. But what about Thomas Washington, Born Patriot? Let’s see how he feels.

Outside! I’m outside the window! Please let me outside. I’ll burn every suit and book I own.

This is really just a logo. And that’s all it needs to be. Sign me up twice.

Creativity: A+ | Persuasion: A+ | Sanity: Freedom.

All my life, I’ve loved cats and fire. I bet the front has both.

A lady wants me! In the navy, but still. Keep the promotion. In fact, keep the lady. I don’t even need a ship.

My so-called brother said to shorten this to “Don’t read American history—make it!” I knocked him clean out. When, he wakes up, we’ll both be halfway to Berlin.
