In motion emotion
Posted on: August 3, 2005MUHAHAHA! I'm on such a sugar rush high right now. @_@ I get an eerie feelin' of deja you-who from the Title of this entry, it's just so familiar. I wish I had better internal search tools so I could root it out, so I'm gonna keep pressing for that feature suggestion to the Mayoress of Blog-City. She's so great with all of my tech support questions and I keep coming back for more, one of the reasons why I'm still here. I was really hard-pressed to look at other interfaces, but the complete package is what appeals. Makes me think of my first entry on here?(go Georgia go!), well over a year ago. And soon it'll be two years.
Staying the same can make the difference.
I still hold a lot of my views like potted plants?some have grown in freakish directions I never imagined possible. And do you know how yummy Nestle Sundae?Strawberry Shortcake is? (Sadly lacking?in googlism.)?Now I do!
The admired Tony Walsh writes about Apple's new "Mighty Mouse". At first, I thought?it?was a codename. Apparently not!?I saw pictures, and they looked hokey and ugly. Yeah yeah, minimalist design, not much to criticize, right? Well this ain't Philip Glass, it's more like?wearing a toilet seat around your neck.?the little dot for the scroll-thing looks annoying to me. TOO DAMN FIDDLY.?I hope to be surprised how my actual use of the product in the future will change my perception, but I was hoping with Apple's wizardry, that there's be a completely invisible scroller device that would still respond magically with smooth strokes along the top. Maybe some tactile feedback is needed but either all (like the Microsoft Intellimouse?Optical I favor) or nothing is what 'I'm after.
I survived my drive, miraculously, which is rare because I do not like automotive transport too much unless I am a PASSENGER ON THE ROAD OF LIFE. Muhahaha. I came back with a lot of candy though, chocolate bars and especially my fave… Caramilk?(spoilers). There was a time as a kid when I bought a Caramilk bar for a loonie and I was eating it when I noticed my Mom was in the driveway and coming hope. She is a fervent candy-hater so I just sucked it all up, gooey bits and even some of the wrapper, all mashed up and the absolutely startling sweetness breaking through the roof of my mouth, tastebuds so candy-coated not even Willy Wonka could represent. Ever since that sweet day, I've lurved Caramilk.
I wonder what it'd be like to make a minifire to toast marshmallows on. Maybe I should just light a candle and enjoy them in the comfort of my own home. This makes me wonder if androids and other mechanical lifeforms find organic food to be unhealthy, since synthetic, processed stuff seems so natural to them. I wonder. I also had a vision of a great, fluffy marshmallow which was not only an alien spacecraft, but also a birthing chamber?since marshies have gelatin that comes from animals, I'd like to see a baby calf birthed from the gooey insides of this womb. Or even some hybrid between a marshmallow and a human being. It would be alien enough to be called… a MARSHAN!!!
Upon my wikillectual adventures, searching for "alternate reality" yields a different match than the more general one I was thinking of: a game with a PKDickian twist! I find it bittersweet when things are said to be ahead of their time, in part because it's great there was such historical precedent established, but the weepy bits come in when realizing so many great things could have been done earlier. Withholding progress is a crime to me, a very bad thing. Sometimes it's not intentionally so, it's just so many things fall through the cracks and they get germinated under the carpet until someday, they sprout up and destroy the antiquated house formerly above them that gave them no light, no shelter, no love.
