i'm boosting this because i was still thinking about it when i woke up this morning.

comrades,

i am writing to share my realization that, towards the end of the film, the score of 1986's _howard the duck_ (executive produced by george lucas) blatantly quotes aaron copland's interpretation of the shaker hymn "simple gifts".

yours,

brennen

exceptions are bad, actually.

up at 8k feet, there's fog and freezing.

down here, the weather websites are promising snow tomorrow and a high of 35°.

it is, at long last, the time for flannel-lined pants.

this makes for a pretty interesting read:

"The whole campaign finance system needs to burn with cleansing fire. But the Democratic Party’s surrender to legalized corruption makes it unable to run on one of the great motivating issues in 2018. Instead, our candidate has to spend time promising she won't be a tool in the hands of her own party's hated leadership."

this website just now via @meguey is very aesthetic.

i just spent an hour outside in the 37° drizzle picking like 1% of the apples still on the tree. despite hail, bugs, birds, and fungus, it was a huge crop this year. more than we could possibly consume by ourselves. depressingly, most of it's going to rot.

this was a year where between work, family losses, travel, and my consistent and indefensible laziness, most of the calories our patch of yard produced wound up going to waste.

i'd like to get better at this.

i started tng over again for some background noise. an early conclusion from this rewatch is that it's a real bummer how rarely you find a sex planet that doesn't come with some kind of uptight omnipotent energy being hovering around killing the buzz.

"The user manual contains some significant errors. Most of these are due to last minute changes to achieve a greater degree of compatibility with IBM's implementation of MS-DOS (PC DOS). This includes the use
of "\" instead of "/" as the path separator, and "/" instead of "-"
as the switch character."

it's always kind of interesting when you encounter a fossil trace of someone's Giant Mistake as it happened.

"will anything good happen if you engage in a dialog instead of just blocking some people who fuck up your head in a bad way when you read their stuff" is probably a question i should take seriously more often.
