several things of note today

[minxnim]

i think everyone is out to get us xfer.

 

[xfer]

today wish i was a rock like sylvester the donkey in that william steig book.

[xfer]

nobody fucks with rocks.

 

[xfer]

except jackhammers, i guess.

 

[minxnim]

i desperately tried to find a picture of ferdinand the bull so i could visually explain how i feel but alas, my computer kept crashing.

I loved how the pebble in that book looked like a red sourball. I always wanted to munch it something fierce.

 

[xfer]

oh my gawd. i thought you were maybe thinking of one of those classic line drawings, and i googled ferdinand, AND LOOK WHAT THEY ARE GIVING TO KIDS NOWADAYS:

it's like de-Goreyizing the covers of Bellairs books!!

 

[minxnim]

i was definitely thinking of the classical b&w pictures. that up there is a fucking BLASPHEMY of the ferdinand legacy my friend.


( love how i spelt blasphemy wrong in my haunted state...)

 

[xfer]

ferdinand pics were always squinty and weird and blotty and foreign, which is why they were so good. not, like, incredibly cartoony and gay.

 

[minxnim]

i used to LOVE the cork trees in the book, that had actual little corks hanging off of them like fruit.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

what the hell. it's like they are out to RUIN everything!

this reminds me of two years ago, tutoring graphic design students at the {retarded} junior college across the street from me.

i had to teach illustrator 8 (i.e. - function as enabler) to a 35 year old woman with a severe stutter.

moreover, she chose the original ferdinand book cover illustration as her project. so i had to "help" her draw the original ferdinand bull in illustrator 8.

you have no idea.

 

[minxnim]

nick.... YIKES.

i am bummed that ferdinand was redone by nincompoops. (sp?)
anyway, hi everyone. today is like yesterday. a downer.

 

[xfer]

i guess today is a little better. i still don't want to do anything, but...

 

[minxnim]

i feel sort like a mix between a sloth and a vampire bat.

 

[xfer]

i'm on the cusp of developing an actual feeling about today. i'll keep everyone posted.

 

[minxnim]

my mood is like, going between being a zombie and being shocked all around.

my keen observation of the 11-12 on tuesday hour is: why do people always want to GO OUT and MAKE OUT and not be friends. it always ruins stuff. it always does! it never works.
i wish i were a machine.

 

[minxnim]

also, it used to be that my mom was that one person i knew who was always right about anything... now all of a sudden my SISTER is right about everything too. maybe it's cuz she turned 30? anyway, it's extreme.

yeah, I was wondering that, too! stupid sex/romance always fucks up potantially good friendships.
