I just wrote some damned elegant XSL today. Feeling moderately chuffed about that.
Asides
In remembrance
This is the sort of obituary I want when I go: http://www.neatorama.com/2015/01/02/obituaries-to-remember/
Vibratory wrist
I’m experiencing alert fatigue. For the last 50 or so minutes, my watch has been buzzing me every 30 seconds to keep me abreast of the Leicester City vs. Tottenham score. Soccer does not move that fast. Please, just tell me when the score changes.
Similar issues with hockey and football games. Once Google Now thinks it has you figured out, the notifications are relentless.
Revenge
Fish and chips always makes a return call. It may take most of a day–at most, but extracts its vengeance in due time.
Not good
Top five things to never put in a dryer:
- A chenille blanket
- A chenille blanket
- A chenille blanket
- A chenille blanket
- A chenille blanket and a bunch of other clothes
When EF Hutton speaks
I’d advise putting money into wood glue futures. Someone has about 40 linear feet of vinyl in various states of unclean and just found this link: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e84_1415167372
Not yet the end times
I know it’s BuzzFeed but still couldn’t pass up passing this along

Still Obsessing
Yep. Still obsessing over this album:
I wanted to say it makes me “sad but happy” or “happily sad” but I think the proper phrase, in this case then, is “voluntary wistfulness”. Voluntary wistfulness is also my description for pretty much every Wes Anderson movie.
Beaten to the punch
You know that annoying habit I have of, upon hearing a phrase that tickles my ear in some way, saying “That’s going to be the name of my next band/album?” Well these dudes beat me to the punch on this one. May I introduce to you
And, yes, they friggin’ rock some post-punk surf music.
Retreat
The saddest commit message ever:
Punting
BugzID:XXX-NNNN
On the other hand, I’m going home this evening.
