i remember when driving hgihway 10

so far this month i have broken or other wise ruined
2 hammers (fixable and fuckitable)
2 screw driver (fuckitable and not mine(!))
a hole saw (fixable)
plus my jigsaw is getting all screwy and needs to be pulled apart and serviced. a stuck on switch is never a good thing. one of the hammers was a day old dollar tree hammer. yes they are cheaply made but this has to be a record for me. one of the screwdiver did not break at the point it should have. i got all pissed of and threw it down (nice anger management buddy) and pieces went everywhere. seems i had forgotten that this one held parts in the handle so when i threw it the cap flew off and metal bits flew about. but after picking up every thing it was all present and undamaged. then the next day (today) i stripped the thing put screws into a 1" hinge. never should have happened that way.
nothing like pushing weak tools to their breaking points. mabe if i push hard enough i will go past my breaking point.

next step it tag projectors for maintenance. it will be a nice winter project sice the projectors run hotter than an overclocked xt. so far two need belts and one of those may need a bulb. and "bob" knows they all need cleaned loved and lubed. then i have to go get the pair i saw last weekend. because they are just oh so pretty. maybe i will even do a head count make a nice little display rack for most of them. the newer 16mm can keep its fat ass on the ground. its a just because anyway. because it was cheap when i bought it. because i didnt have a 16mm at the time. because i couldnt think of enough reasons not to get it. but you give me a choice between that one and the 1930s kodak and i am so going with the kodak...after it gets a good belt.
those two pretty blue keystones actually got me in the mood to watch a couple of recent buys. one was 5 minutes of trees filmed from a boat or a river side drive. the other was a christmas 1952. and i proved how sad i was. the one kid opens a tinker toy set and i start going off about taking them away form him. do you know wha the value is of a mint 1952 tinker toy set?! then later in it the two boys open a lionel train set and i went through the whole bit again. but seriously the family had to have a little money to be able to afford the camera and film, editing services, and toys like that. not really cheap things at any time. the really funny part was the use of the tv (off station) to light up the woman playing piano. actually gave it a nice mood. it was such a happy nc17mas that it was almost sickening. and there was even snow on the ground.

this all relates because i learn to use the tools to maintain the toys. if i stay in practice its handy information when i need it. like wiring up that sloppy bitch that is my stereo. or being able to build those boxes that meet my needed specs for record storage. like learning to use a computer just so i can work on databasing my music but at this point i think i will take a couple of shortcuts. ( like this )

so there was an article in one of the recent issues of wired announcing the death of blogging due to lack of readers to no corporate blogs and the popularity of twatter and apps like. first off most blogs dont compete with corporate blogs because they are not the same thing. one is mostly people discussing the latest and lamest in whatever field they work in while the other is a deeper look into peoples souls and lives. twatter on the other hand is not even related. its like a commercial for real posts. notes that may or may not be expanded on at a later point. i really need to find the article and and rip it apart line by line.

ack! someone stop me already. i am sitting here playing on ebay looking for gas masks. because yeah thats what i really need. what i should do is find the 3, 4, 5 i have and hang them on the wall amidst pandys drama mask collection. then maybe i will hunt down new cans for them. it a paranoia thing not a fetish thing.

why do people think they are kinky or whatever because they have a pair of faux fur lined handcuffs? do they really think those crappy things make them weird or cool? the cheap ass things are nothing more than annoying. that type of person wouldnt know a kink from a case of whip cream.

i need to make a buttons - ask me about my H0 track an i love my H0. i need to get a button press. that would make my life easier. and i need to get some of the greating cards ran if i can find a company that prints like i like for a price i like. that doesnt get all pissy about offensive content.

speaking of pissy and content i found the originals of the first 10 or 12 issues of as is. omf"b" they suck so bad. part of me thinks i should burn them. part of me thinks i should donate them to that library. part of me thinks i should no a final run as a set. part of me thinks i should scan them all in so you can all laugh at them. part of me thinks i should tape the box shut and never ever let them see the liht of day again. part of me thinks i am going to pieces. theses are all the ones that ran in half size. the really really shitty ones. but they do have interviews - screeching weasel, heavy mental, the flaming lips.
