Today I finally threw my broken Tivo into the trash. As it sailed into the dumpster I sang "I Will Always Love You". It hasn't fully worked for two years (couldn't record anymore) but I had some shows on there I wanted to watch. Before tossing it I ripped the case open and took out the hard drive which was still good. In a way it's Tivo's heart and soul. Maybe I'll use the hard drive to build a robot that will eventually enslave the human race. I feel...it's what Tivo would have wanted.
I finally found the
Kathy Ack website. It combines the text of experimental writer Kathy Acker with images from the comic strip Cathy. I can't love it enough. They are relatively close in age but obviously have a very different view of life as a woman.
I also have jury duty in October. I thought I'd get out of it because I no longer live in LA but I'm being called into federal court so I have to live more than 80 miles away from the court to use distance as an excuse. Since most juries don't serve on Monday I'll hopefully only miss one class a week. I hope it's a case involving a demented mad scientist. I would totally want to be part of a jury of his/her peers.
She tried to use a super atomizer to wipe Fresno off the map? Innocent I say! Innocent!
