12:28 pm - Garfield minus Garfield
|
In their own words:
"Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb."

In my defense, many of these I knew because I had seen clips of the films in other films or TV shows.

10:53 pm - Colorblind
|
Finally, I can explain it already.
Go here:
http://critiquewall.com/2007/12/10/blindness
Now for me, the following images are identical:
- the first one (the colorblind test dots)
- #8 - grapes. Actually, they are 2 different shades of either blue or purple. I can't tell.
- #9 - map - identical
- #11 - watercolor - identical
All the rest are still obviously green swapped for red to me.
But still - look at those dots. That's all I ever see when I look at one of those fucking tests.
current mood:  weird

9:39 pm - Nathan Moment
|
This is what it's like raising my 7 year old son. The following exchange occurred at bedtime just now:
him: (mischevious tone) Daddy? What's two times two times six times eight times ten?
me: (pause for a few seconds to calculate) nineteen hundred twenty.
him: (triumphant) No! It's three thousand, eight hundred and forty!
me: well, it would be if you multiplied it by two
him: (slightly disappointed in himself, but innocently enough) Did I forget the two?

12:07 am - Okay, this was unexpected
|
So I'm at my sister-in-law's wedding.
Wait. back up...
Let me set the stage here. This is at the "Imperial Palace" casino in terrifying yet well-executed LAS-FUCKIN-VEGAS (baby!). The IP is one of the few remaining of the "Old Vegas" casinos on the strip. Which means it's kind of a relic. It's on the way out. It won't be standing in 6 years. The newer casinos have transformed the town into what I describe thusly:
Walt Disney managed to fuck Times Square, and the resulting city-sized demon spawn child drops acid, and then takes a dump on the Nevada desert.
THAT's Vegas today. These people are the motherfuckin' KINGS of live spectacle - from the advertisements themselves stright to the halls you walk to the shows themselves, nobody but nobody puts on a show like Vegas!
With that kind of twisted monstrosity as the building on either side of you, a plain rectangular casino like the IP is just so much real estate waiting to be gobbled up by the money monster.
but I digress.
I was at my sister-in-law's wedding. Well, the night before the wedding. I had spent the better part of 30 minutes waiting for and riding elevators that refused to take me anywhere that was physically connected to the room where the party was about to erupt. Finally, a kind security guard led us to a secret passageway that allowed us to walk the length of a city block and emerge in the correct wing of the casino. Visions of being so hopelessly lost after getting stoned at the party (I'll never find my room again!) swim through my brain. So I'm tired, and I show up for the party.
Which I'll describe verbally some other time.
But the important bit is this. I'm stoned out of my gourd, and decide that THIS is the perfect time to introduce myself, and by extension my entire side of the newly formed family, to a number of perfect strangers. All of whom, and I wish I were exaggerating, were named either "Brian" or "Jason" (insert "Freddy" joke here if inclined).
And one of the Jasons has a girlfriend, whose name is Kim. Great, so now my wife's name is being duplicated and everyone in this packed honeymoon suite has the same 3 first names. Fucking awesome.
And this Kim is looking at me. Staring really. She's cute, so I don't mind, but she studies my face and says "You look REALLY familiar to me". Now the last 2 people I said that to, I ended up having absolutely no connection to at all. Since that made me feel foolish, I kinda felt bad for this girl who had mistaken me for someone.
Then she says "Did you know a guy named Shane?"
And I say "The Mayor?"
And her eyes bug the fuck out, and in that moment we simultaneously recognize each other. And I say "Jester. You have a tatoo of a jester."
And we smile, and hug, and say "holy fucking shit", and I introduce Kim to "my Kim" and I go home and fuck that was weird.

I are somebody.

I finally got interviewed and briefly stepped out of the boss's shadow.
Yay me.
