digitaldisciplineNow that I'm actually getting something more than three or four hours a night of shuteye, my brain is apparently making up for the week's interruption in programming...
- A close friend was doing everything in their power to make me angry enough to punch them in the face. They were being mean, emotionally awful, ostentatiously obtuse, and just absolutely horrid overall. I have no idea why.
- I was in the "I'm On A Boat" video, but just the exterior shots, in my black Utilikilt.
- I was writing/acting in/directing what can most succinctly be described as a railway-based take on Pushing Tin, including what was at the time a fantastic bit of prose, which I will attempt to recapture (probably without success).
Guy 1: This is a high-priority obstruction. We're talking maple syrup here.
Guy 2: Wait, you're making creating this obstruction a priority?
Guy 1: You see this board? All the traffic there backing up? This train over here has to get through.
Guy 2: So why not keep everything else moving?
Guy 1: We do that, and it all locks up. Look, we need to slow some of these down so they never get there to jam at all, so we block them here, or over here, or over there. Didn't you ever play Frogger when you were a kid? Fast lanes, slow lanes, and you've got to ratchet that fucking frog through all of it. This train is our frog. But we can't control it, so we have to make sure the cars on the road don't run it over.
Guy 2: Okay, I get it, I think, but... "Maple Syrup"?
Guy 1: Watch how the gap for our train drips down the board. Don't want it to run too fast, or freeze up. Traffic gets syrupy. It's an art. And I could really go for some waffles.
