I make a website

well anyways -- that function has returned

i've updated the site with Cool Gay Band Names, i found that
image [the gay one] and since he's wearing a black shirt,
not purple, i re-did the whole site in bisexual colors

"Is it possible that LSD turns Human into Puppy,
Homosexuality thinks its Dognapping, and Goa Trance is a
Monkey using a chisel on your brain?" I asked.

Quebis paused a moment, thinking carefuly before he repled.
"I certainly can't rule it out."


...well, i don't need Elmer for that part, in any case.

LSD doesn't literally give you a mind like a child, but
you're in a state where stuff can wire wide 'n' deep. like
how young children can learn piano more rapidly than a
middle-aged man.

Homosexuality thinking it's Dognapping refers to how
a middle age, god-fearin' man like Elmer can feel like
homosexuality is an evil that bags people and carries them
off like gypsies -- and the only reason he thinks this is
because he, himself, was bagged and carted off by...
christians

Goa Trance represents repetition (which involves rhythm, by
definition). If you go around stressing on how seductive
homosexuality can be, and telling stories of how some young
lad went into the gutter, well -- eventually, some of those
stories will start to intrigue you. you'll feel the tug of
the gay and preach anti-gay harder -- and pretty soon,
you're ted haggard. When you weren't even really that gay at
all to start, you just fixated on it and so that's where you
went

the monkey with the chisel represents reconditioning, and
the fucking repetitive kickdrum in goa trance.

i don't actually hate goa. i was listening to infected
mushroom the other day. but i had a moment where i turned it
down, because i thought: "someone else might hear that
fucking repetitive kick drum" and the idea was embarrassing
enough to me that i turned it down. alone in the house, by
myself

goa. trance

oh. that happened then too, didn't it? that whole alone in
the house, but... it's trance, sssh

i wonder if that was the last time i listened to infected
mushroom?

on the other end -- i'm just working on my silly little band
name list for the site and i get to gay bands and i think of
that photo of aphex [the gay one] and this is how i am with
samples: it tumbles out of the back of my brain, and ok, i
need this. this exact image. the idea of not having this
image there is now impossibru

then i come up with some version of the image caption that's
up on the site now.

i start noodling with it, then it's a paragraph.

i think: "oh! the website should have articles. because
people like content" and if anything, this was my mistake.
just continuing on without questioning does it
actually make any fucking sense to press on with this as an
article?


pretty soon i think: well, who's writing this shit anyways?
and then we could get into the name "elmer ezekiel pretzel"
too. it's even better than i meant in retrospect. but ok,
there, that's where i put elmer on the job

but i really think this is infected mushroom's fault. i
certainly had "infected bathroom" on that list before i got
into any of this

if i started talking about the last time i listened to
infected mushroom back then too then we've found it.
i put on infected mushroom, then it was close enough to (or
perhaps even during) listening to infected mushroom that
expanding the caption into a paragraph triggered the idea of
this being an article, and from there the rest continued to
tumble out so long as i kept writing.

i still haven't gone and found it; checked any of this. but
i also remember describing to someone how i could see the
bar in my head and pulled the plug because i was about to
see the bar patrons if i kept going or such -- and, similar,
i stopped dead where i was; pulled the plug.

that is, frankly, a reflex from years of tripping and whoa
hang on buddy, stop right there. you might be about to go
over the edge, here

i think i also spoke about how i saw this all as images in
my head, like, camera shots, pretty sure. that when i'm
writing, i'll see it in my head and, then, you know, write
what i see.

obviously, nowhere near all of my mental image makes it into
the writing. but i guarantee you, that is the exact same set
of camera shots i saw before, going into the bar and such.
if the story matches, anyways.

the image comes back to me and i type it up similarly. i'm
about to step in it and i make the same decision to stop at
the same point.

what i don't recall is precisely how i got to writing it
last time, or how much before the bar scene matches what
i've written this time.

that, if anything, is what i can't want to dig up. because
it will be very easy to put those side by side and i'm sure
i'll promptly explode, at that point, with things i notice
are different (or aren't) and why.

dammit. the interesting stuff always happens when i'm behind
on work. so i'm just going to leave the cork in that now; if
i go find that shit now, i could still be writing about it
eight hours from now

oh hello! let's tune into reality. this domain expires in
two days, some other shit will be crucially fucked... oh!
hey! about then too. super. let's ask for a monday meeting.

and then i'm hearing the dreaded words, "wife is very
pregnant" and this phrase means you're about to lose a lot
of the time someone gave you, if not all of it. irritating
enough when it's friends, but this is the guy paying me and
what the shit.

if his wife gives birth tomorrow and cascades all my shit,
is this proof god hates me? "hate him back," my sampler
brain replies, "it works for me." and this is my brain
giving me a good sample for a track in response to some
gallows humor

when your car gets a flat tire, you get out, give it the
once over, then scream GODDAMIT! FUCK! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
but not at all does it occur to you to blame the car, right?
you're cussing out life, god, connecticut's deplorable
infrastructure, whatever. but not the car.

so it is here. GODDAMIT! FUCK! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! and the
flat tire is this situation is the miracle of birth

but the site is, i dunno, becoming a thing, somewhat. i'm
probably visually better with html and css than i am at
drawing. perhaps what i opt to draw needs work, but

if i all border:8px double in electric blue, that's really
going to make elmer's highway roadsign pop in the right way

...i put elmer in charge of an html table. elmer's in charge
of dan's records now. elmer's trying to figure out who dan
is

i fell through the caption under aphex, down the rabbit
hole, climbed back out. with colors

his shirt was black, not purple, so now the whole site is
bisexual purple. aphex wears purple quite a bit, purple is a
fruit, so you can see how we projected purple onto that
image [the gay one].

some of the better tidbits are, have been, were be, am,
exfiltrate from my bile of plather and dropped into the
middle like samples

there is no point to this, it's more like -- oh, fuck all
this shit, i want to go try putting this quote there, that
might look nice. it'd be cool if my shit isn't fucked too
but whatever i am satisfied with the balance of obnoxious
blues and pinks on top of black raspberry. i'll show those
xanax fuckers how to use pink properly

To be fair, I think Xtronic is your website now, Dave.

i mean that last part absolutely, totally literally. my
brain replies "this sample is perfect" and i hear the audio
play back in my head

and it's like the daft judge wig guy throwing bruce willis
the pool ball instead of the grenade in 5th element

discordogs, right!
a lot of: well i could this. i could that

like "oh games" and i think "right candyshack" then "we
don't have the budget for that" and games go back up on the
shelf

out of the back of my brain just now, however, comes... do i
still have the TI-85 BASIC version of drugwar somewhere?
could i just port that into PHP and make it, like, slinging
303s or soundclot followers or... well, i'd figure this out
later, point being putting the BASIC code for that on one
screen and hacking up a shitty acid-theme port in PHP --
we just might have the budget for this

and then it's actually possible to waste 15-20 minutes on
the site at a time and then say "that wasn't bad and i'm
stuck on the tram" and watch out mark zuckerbird
