Well of Course
Got a message from one of my very many activist groups telling me that my senators voted to keep giving money to big oil coporations. Which: Yeah, that's disgusting, but hey, I LIVE IN TEXAS. The odds of any elected official crossing big oil are only slightly better than the odds of an elected official endorsing stringent gun control, which: hahahahah.* I wish I could get special Texas-only versions of political news that only tell me when my representatives do something that doesn't make me want to booze up and riot. Granted that would mean I'd never hear about anyone but Lloyd Doggett, but that's ok! I'll just go ahead and assume the rest of the state leadership is attempting to put kittens into blenders on a daily basis. I don't need to know the details, I got stuffs to do.
One fairly pressing thing I need to do: figure out how to spend any time at all writing and/or reading without prompting one of my blackout spells. Yes, apparently my triggers now include the written English language. Or, given this is especially notable online, maybe my brain just hates Verdana** all of a sudden? That would be maybe the geekiest kerning*** trigger I've ever heard of.
I'm hoping it's all just a contrast issue- my new computer screen has waaay more light backing it than my old lappy, and there is apparently no way to tone it down (the Cintiq has a far more subdued, world- accurate palette, and I can spend a lot longer staring into its beautiful face than my screen) so I'm going to spend my attempted writing time wearing The Goggles. If you want to see more work and/or correspondence from me, hope that goggles Do Something, eh?
*I actually do not favor gun control. Once we've given away the economy to finance Monsanto's production of Zombie Corn Armies, how I am going to defend my awful little house without guns? These are the vital points of debate news pundits never address.
**Which would be wholly unreasonable. Granted I prefer serif fonts in general, but it ain't like poor V is Comic Sans, here.
*** Kerning should be an expletive. It sounds so right! "That kerning idiot cut me off in traffic!" "Kerning Photoshop crashed again!" Also, unlike f924ing, which is a highly enjoyable activity when done right, kerning is nothing but aggravation regardless of its importance and setting, and would probably be a very grim physical process to enact on a physical being. I'd far rather an enemy Get Kerned than have sexy fun times.
