Yesterday I stated that Lacrimawanders was a quantum bitch, that her status as a bitch was in constant superposition, awaiting observation to trigger quantum decoherence.
Today, my laptop's hard drive failed.
The signs are obvious. Lacrimawanders is the patron saint of your hard drive failing on you. Worship her at your own peril.
As an aside: I've found I don't really give a shit about the hard drive, just a little irritated that I'll lose the laptop to Best Buy for who-knows how long. Thank Christ for Google Docs - otherwise I'd probably be crying. It sounds like the sort of error I won't be able to recover anything from! |

Dear Diary,
I bought my first PC game in 1995. It was called Colonization, and it was glorious. Now, 13 years later, I'm buying the remake of Colonization. Digitally.
I think... I think this heralds the end of the PC game era for me. For, like, ever. |

This is my cat.
Yeah, he's up in the house loft. No, he wasn't put there. Yes, this is the retarded cat that has zero spatial memory. Yet somehow he is able to poignantly express his love for Frank Sinatra. By climbing ladders.
This is a board game designed around my other cat. The evil cat. He ruined the world after acquiring the power of Castle Grayskull.

| Russell T Davies Hates The Japanese (spoilers) |
[Jun. 22nd, 2008|05:29 pm] |
The man behind the revival of Doctor Who and the creator of Torchwood hates the Japanese. He obviously finds them loathsome, beneath insects in the grand scheme of life. I say this for three reasons:
1) The treatment of the Toshiko character in Torchwood. She's the quiet one that everyone walks over. When Gwen was brought on, the other characters probably let her know that they'd be shitting on Tosh on a regular basis. Ianto spits in her coffee, Owen slips her depressants, and Jack gives her minimal emotional support following traumatic events. She gets paired with an evil alien and made a fool of in front of the entire team. Then she gets paired with a cryo-case who gets sent back to the late 1800s and executed for cowardice. And then she gets raped by an alien that insinuated himself onto the team with false memories. Bravo, Davies.
When she finally gets into a relationship with Owen, the person she has been pining for so pathetically for the whole series, he is already dead. Yep. Room-temperature. Can't get an erection. And not much fun to be around anyway. She dies in Jack's arms after watching Owen get dissolved by vented coolant. Presumably she was killed off because Russell T Davies couldn't bear to have a Japanese person in the Torchwood cast.
2) When the Master destroys the world at the end of Doctor Who Season 3, which location is given special mention? Ah yes, the Japanese islands. Burning.
3) Russell T Davies favorite episode of South Park is the one where the Archangel Gabriel declares that Japanese people have no souls. I totally heard that from someone.
Haven't finished watching the Doctor Who Season 4 backlog. Maybe I'll get more ammo there.
But seriously, Toshiko got fucked over. |

I haven't been very productive of late, so I figured I'd come up with an easy way to convey the last month or so in a series of snapshots. ( Read more... ) |

Anonymous vs. Scientology, attempted stand-alone complex or unprecedented wave of common sense?
So someone ran a DDoS against a bunch of Scientology assets. Not very clever or black hat, but you'd need some remote assets to pull it off iff'n you don't want to get caught, so kudos.
Then messages start appearing about how the Internet has had enough of Scientology. For those of you who have declined to hear all the nastiness associated with these people because it makes you embarrassed to be human, time to wake up and give this a twenty second glance:
All you really need to know is that they prey on weak people, and sometimes kill them.
If you're still reading, I suggest you check out Google and Wikipedia and YouTube to learn all the gory details.
Now, during the DDoS attack the following message appeared from "Anonymous":
Quote:
Let our message ring out from the highest e-mountain.
So you want to join Project Chanology eh? Fight the good fight for the Internet? Or perhaps you are a skeptic, doubtful we can do anything? I won't lie to you. I am an /i/nsurgent first, a /b/tard second, and an all around Anonymous, but I know that for a fight against the Beast it will take more then possible even every chan combined could muster. We might be rivals; hell, we might hate each other's guts, but this goes beyond just us. The people of the Internet, Anonymous, the Goons of SA, the YTMNDers, various hacker groups, trolls of the world, the GameFAQs members, the Gaians, the eBaumers; us old time Internet users, and the newest of noobs, the YouTubers and MySpacers, must band together for a fight that transcends our differences and takes us to a level beyond our individual selves. When things happen to Scientology, like that South Park episode or Tom Cruise going insane on Oprah's show, Scientology loses lots of credential. We need to finish that off, or leave it open for the major media to deliver the coup-de-grace.
Of course the nitwits in the media don't know that connecting the Anonymous (if ever so attributed) that did the DDoS with the one that posted this message is a bit parataxical. My gut says that this is a large number of people who are merely aware of one another through actions. This call to arms, if so it could be called, is probably an attempt at a stand-alone complex, creating people to fill the professed role of the anti-Scientologist Anonymous, which appears to entail physical actions against physical Scientologist assets.
Not to encourage illegal action against the bright-eyed, white-toothed, smiling insanity that is Scientology, but it looks like interesting times are ahead.
