@paulconstant @callanbeckberry what would Conan the Librarian or Link say? I think Conan the L. was before Paul’s time, but not Link. – 07:57 PM GMT
@paulconstant @callanbeckberry well, he was crabby and had a sword, even if he was wearing an elf costume. – 08:00 PM GMT
@paulconstant @callanbeckberry is it normal that we can count sword-weilders of the neighborhood in multiples greater than one? – 08:01 PM GMT

@egypturnash looks like I gotta change a couple bulbs pic.twitter.com/​6a3klJjqgL – 03:42 AM GMT
@egypturnash the top one is from ’69. the bottom one is Krazy Kat tribute from ’63. That one might be all WK. By ’69 it was studio-style. – 03:50 AM GMT
@egypturnash iirc, the early 60s still used studio assignments but it was flexible. by ’69, WK was main char ink only. I am a poor source. – 03:51 AM GMT
uh oh. just discovered Sunny is on Prime. I have, uh, four seasons to work thru? – 04:29 AM GMT
Sunny is kinda like DS9, but funny, and for me at least, something i actually want to watch. Someday I’ll get back to Bajor. – 04:31 AM GMT
@esinclai @azender they are up to s09 on Amazon, implying s11 or s12. – 04:37 AM GMT

aargh eyes popped open at 5 am with a solid plan to implement remote streaming with an old AEX in the basement. – 05:15 PM GMT
after some sleepyhead cable builds finally got everything rolling. – 05:15 PM GMT
naturally I had to look up some functions for the a/v remote (they weren’t available) – 05:16 PM GMT
realizing that, I put the manual and the remote down and went back to futzing – 05:17 PM GMT
once I got the AEX sending audio to the amplifier successfully, I looked around for the remote again – 05:17 PM GMT
There’s the manual. WHERE’S THE DAMN REMOTE? – 05:18 PM GMT
Clearly, I walked off with it while preoccupied and have put it somewhere safe for the time being, such as the freezer or perhaps a box. – 05:19 PM GMT

@RobPeoni ha ha I just realized you describe Matt as ‘teenage’ in 1990. You’re right in every way but calendrically. – 03:33 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt this reminded me that i didn’t actually d/l the last Subterranean last year, so yaay – 05:20 PM GMT

the band (Pitbulls) showed up and got the crowd so riled up a joist broke. the floor was like a trampoline under the feet of the dancers. – 05:21 AM GMT

@OctagonMuseum JTIV’s Virginia-presented sword – 06:25 PM GMT
@surlygourmand been twice, once right after they opened, once a couple years ago. first time was literally mindblowing, went in cold. – 11:13 PM GMT
@surlygourmand second time, the show was written by Robert Lopez (El Vez) and featured both he and Big Mike (of Puddles fame) – 11:15 PM GMT
@surlygourmand Robert cheerfully harassed the shit out of me all show, introducing me to the crowd as Ira Glass – 11:15 PM GMT
@surlygourmand so, all in all, good times. but OOF spendy. – 11:16 PM GMT
@surlygourmand the second show was definitely less boggling, which is too bad. Robert’s El Vez shows are majestic, so I was disappointed. – 11:21 PM GMT

alright, I follow about 300 tweeps. mostly they hate sports, yay! I did not check in here tonight at all. – 05:15 AM GMT
some folks decided to engage with the superbowl, also yay. We had pals over and I fed them awesome cuban food. – 05:16 AM GMT
Scrolling through this feed, I am so amused by the ways those of you who also engaged did so here, and I mean that with affection. – 05:18 AM GMT
Basically, if you lived near Boston, you were rooting for the Pats, otherwise, for the Seahawks, probably without a win expectation. – 05:20 AM GMT
Whatever. The pacific northwest and new england share many fundamental values and I could never imagine living any other place as an adult. – 05:21 AM GMT
But the PNW is the future. Sports is a terrible, abusive industry that is predicated on the literal destruction of human souls. – 05:24 AM GMT
We’ll be doing that more effectively, and in greater volume, with more efficiency, and possibly under revolutionary economic circumstances. – 05:25 AM GMT
Probably I won’t enjoy it. But next few years might still be pleasing to me, human cost directly observed, hopefully in minute detail. – 05:27 AM GMT
@BitterOldPunk yes yes. i actually owe you and @gjcharlet some telephone time this early spring, for the first time. – 05:28 AM GMT
@matthetube frisbee golf park across the street apparently subsidised by meth industry, which, ok cool but like quit it with the breakins – 05:59 AM GMT
@matthetube but you know I could get behind tax subsidies for meth artists such as universal health care and so forth. – 06:02 AM GMT
@BitterOldPunk universal health care – 06:03 AM GMT

@BitterOldPunk can you imagine how much better everyone would feel? maybe that’s why tye bad guys hate the idea so much. – 06:08 AM GMT

@LeavittAlone @arthurwyatt cleans glasses, squints, decides glasses can’t do it, holds screen directly to eyeball – 06:43 AM GMT
@naxuu dreamingwithguy.comyou know, you have the power to actually do this thing – 06:45 AM GMT
@lorenacupcake @naxuu this interests me, cuz I don’t want kids and have none. no history of abuse but i can only see me as parent as a sin. – 07:49 AM GMT
@lorenacupcake @naxuu not that i’m in any way religious. I just see kids as pain vessels, so why would you make more? minority view, obvs. – 07:51 AM GMT
@lorenacupcake @naxuu there you go. a syllogism of sorts. – 05:12 PM GMT
@zipties it also leads inevitably to the one couch per inhabitant concept. not sure the cat and the dog would fully grok. – 05:14 PM GMT

I MOVED A COUCH BY MYSELF ok it was just from one room to another but still – 02:11 AM GMT
@josephconrad_ it’s not 1979. Ronald Reagan was shot, for starters. or was that 1981? my point is, childhood sucks. – 02:14 AM GMT
@josephconrad_ to be clear, at the time, Ronnie taking a bullet was a total highlight. The Lennon thing right after sort of altered that. – 02:17 AM GMT
RT: @Ihnatko: I’m going to just say it: after seeing how brilliantly Marshawn Lynch handled Media Day, I won’t be at all unhappy if the Seahawks win. – 03:15 AM GMT
@Ihnatko aw, Andy. I love Boston, but Seattle is home. Reading that makes me very happy. This Brookline first-grader gives you a hug. – 03:17 AM GMT

Read a recent take Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive” that generously posited J’s vampires as white culture preying on brown – 01:24 AM GMT
Too deep a reading, I think. Today, a friend posted this. m.youtube.com/​watch?v=erLTbN… – 01:25 AM GMT
That’s Panther Burns covering Wanda Jackson’s “Funnel of Love”. Featured lead man? Alex Chilton. – 01:26 AM GMT
“Funnel” opens Jarmusch’s film, beautifully and memorably. Around Xmas, I got into a discussion of the movie with a NOLA-based friend. – 01:28 AM GMT
We were both somewhat puzzled by the Detroit setting. I just figured Anne Rice had NOLA locked up for vampire stories. – 01:29 AM GMT
@AlpacaQueen77 i’m wizened enough to say “who?” with no shame – 01:32 AM GMT
@AlpacaQueen77 sounds worthwhile. wish I had link trail to the “Lovers” essay, seems like I talked with the poster too. here? FB? who knows. – 01:35 AM GMT
