-Tomorrow is my last day at work. This is scary. Also, I have way too much crap in my office. Some of it doesn't even belong to me, like Dick's Charlambides and Bardo Pond cds. But there are some things that must be preserved, like the coffee grinder and llama finger puppet.
-I bought this external hard drive (specifically, the red one, at 250GB). It really looks like a giant Lego. It worked well and fast, but the user documentation is crap. Seriously, tech companies of the world, hire a technical writer.
-The HR people at work recently created a group called "The Fun Club." Their mission is to plan fun things for us to do. So far that has consisted of "TV show lunchtime," when they show an episode of an old TV show in a conference room. Their selections so far: Bewitched and Charlie's Angels (episode: "Angels in Chains"). Maybe this series has secretly been curated by raynorgrace.
-I'm really glad that giant country in the north of Asia is called "Russia" again. When I was in grade school "Soviet Union" seemed so dull, like the name of a bank or a chemical company. "Russia," on the other hand, kindled ideas of a cold, hard country, furry hats and men doing that squatting kick dance and borscht. And what was with "USSR"? How does "Soviet Union" abbreviate to "USSR"? Ok, "USSR" is most of the letters in "Russia"...maybe they were into some avant garde word jumbling. Anyway, I'm glad its back to Russia.

I miss the Soviet Union.
And your "Fun Club" things sound a little scary. I was told that before I got my current job there was a similar committee here that came to be known as "The Joy Nazis" before it was eventually dissolved for the good of employee morale.
i own a bardo pond CD?
don't you?
this one actually features bardo pond along with several other hippie-stoner-drone bands. bardo pond was listed first, so it was easier to bend the truth. i just LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE.
I was hoping for a combined coffee grinder/llama finger puppet. But a combined lego brick/hard drive is almost as cool.
I always liked the name of the Soviet Union. "Russia" is so... bog standard. I also liked that it was composed of smaller Soviet Socialist Republics. A union of them, if you will. That even Tajikistan was united in its Sovietness and Socialism. At least that's what I'll go to my grave assuming.
I am offended by your insinuations.

i meant to imply that you would curate a festival of curious gender depictions in TV shows of yore, a la the ladies who exercise thing.
