I find it hard to believe that we don’t have a back-up set of headphones in the house, but we don’t apparently. That blows. Like the aforementioned wind.

Also blowing is the fct that the RSS is broken. Still. Has been for a while, and I just have absolutely no idea how to fix it. I took out the feedburner, tried to “resync” the feed or whatever, but nothing. I thought it might be something to do with smart quotes in the stuff on the writing page, but I painstakingly went in and changed that. There was no avail. For anyone.

I watched the Dark Crystal again the other day. I’m assuming I’d seen it before, because I remember it freaking my shit right the fuck out, but I couldn’t really remember any of the specifics. Well, the weird ass crab things, and I think the scene where the Skeksis’ (oh yeah, that’s spelled right) banish the other one and rip its clothes off, which just seems weirdly intense for a kids movie. It was alright, but I could see why people could get freaked over it. Practical puppet effects just tend to look better, I think. Farscape proved this.

Thinking about childhood freakout blackouts, I “remembered” two other instances of this. When I was in elementary school, I “played” the trumpet and was in some sort of recital in front of the school, and while I’m sure I was there and made trumpet-esque noises, I have no memory of it. I also remember that I was going to be in some sort of Valentines play in middle school, and i did all my rehearsing and all that, and I vaguely remember being in some sort of costume (I had a big pillow belly), but none of the actual performance itself.

Now, I can see how now, after all these years, the memories of those things might fade, but I remember being in high school and college going “Man, I don’t remember that at all.” It’s funny the tricks the mind plays. It’s funny how both things are about performing in front of a group, and while I’m not that psyched about it now, I’ve done a bunch of group event things for both stores now, acting all goofy or playing to the crowd so I don’t think it’s a problem any more.

Why is the brain so weird?
