No name

I am really, really unhappy.

In the Name

Well, as long as we're on a religious swing, this was another interesting article.

Personally I didn't see what the big deal was. It is rather funny though how he came across the nickname. God, thy word is law.

A week or so after New Years in Hawaii I went to a Rave/Night Club in Honolulu. Something like the Galaxy Club or something. The music was very good.

Too bad all I had to show for it was this lousy stamp.

I was there from about 10pm to 4am... (there were two DJs in two two different rooms of the fairly small building) heard straight and mixes of Assemblage 23, NIN, Manson, other 80s stuff, and Miss Kittin (hah!). It all sounds good when the bass is cranked up disproportionately I requested the DJ try some Static-X, so he did. There had to be some metal in there somewhere. [Plus, good sound system, how could I let it go to waste?]

Lots of people started showing up around 2, probably getting off work. People came there to drink/do other things with good music.

I was sort of out of place, mostly in mind, but also because most of the people there seemed to know eachother really well. Kept thinking about the workers [bartenters] there, must be quite the job. Seems there were lots of regulars, knowing staff and DJs. One person said to me, "Why are you so quiet?" It didn't matter, I danced, I enjoyed.

Of course didn't miss out on the saturation of smoke and slight deafness afterwards... wonder if there's any of this kind of scene in Lancaster?

Surviving

Last week was pretty dense. Here I am with the alternative. Break me, its spring.

I guess I'll catch up on some of the amusing things that I've seen recently:

I can just hear this coming straight from a Monty Python skit.

Maybe I'll get back to telling the last bits (with the last pictures) from my Hawaii trip after a few days.

Radio Plug

Just found someone's personal broadcast, rave/techno/trance from Hawaii (via the ravehawaii yahoo group). It doesn't broadcast 24/7, but when its on, its decent stuff. Give it a listen, I've added it to the links ------>

(You might need Winamp, or another good media player...)

Swamped

The last week+ has been a world of late nights and long work. I did not do so well on the last Orgo exam I'm thinking. I'm kicking myself for not studying the right things enough.

I still manage to waste time thinking about the past:
X land! Back when word perfect was ALL truetype
Ah, childish innocence and creativity

I never owned a console.

This was all written in the Computer Workroom, where worker hours have been cut across the board for financial issues.

So flipping tired;
Another test
In the morning.

Two days,
Three exams.
Damn.

I look around the workroom.
All these people,
So few consultants.

I alone
Hold the power,
With my finger
Hovering over the switch.

I attempt to write,
But the words are insincere.
Why must I be diplomatic
And so, so detached?

I still won't be getting near back to normal until sometime in the middle of next week when a lot of stuff has passed. For now, back to the grindstone.
