So much for server uptime. Breaking a dry spell is like rebooting after a Windows update; it’s not completely necessary, but sometimes it’s better to do it sooner than when it’s too late and one ends up with a dead hooker in the apartment.

The Jeff Identity
Holy fuck, I just found Wizo … Kopfschuss in one of my directories. I haven’t heard this song in more than three years. It’s always in a volume of miscellaneous songs, and I must have skipped over it every time I made my punk playlist. I had totally forgotten about it, and now remember how much of a kicking fucking song it is. It brings me back to second year, being at Iain’s place, using Slackware for the first time.
It’s odd to hear a song, almost for the first time because it’s been so long, but still know all the notes as they come. It’s like The Bourne Identity where he has no idea how he knows all this random shit.
Ghost World
I usually have to be in a very specific mood to watch Ghost World, but something about it is striking a chord with me right now, and this time it’s not just SJs sullen voice. The humour is drier than Rushmore, which says something about the skills of Terry Zwigoff’s as a director. The risk of unsaturated humour is that it very easily goes unrecognized, especially without a laugh track. The last time I watched Ghost World was before I ever saw Mr. Show, so it’s only now that I can really appreciate David Cross’s cameo performance.
Seymour is my god, cause it’s obviously him and he doesn’t care.
Step Into Freedom
I started off the day with my Breathe mix, an energetic collection of songs that makes me think of deep inhalations against a rush of music.
Friday afternoon. I was tempted to leave work early, but held on until 4:15. I put my headphones on, and as I stepped out of the building, Honour (Juno Mix) by VNV nation was the first thing to come on. It just floored me. I mean, that song is what I based my Breathe mix on.
Hearing the words, “Notify ground troops”, is the best way to step into freedom.
