I got asked in a pretty backwards way to write a piece of software that the partners can take into client meetings and say, "Lookatthis! We developed this in-house, which means we will further tailor it to your needs because you are a special, unique flower and we care about you." I think if I got the chance to write it, it would be a completely killer app for these kind of projects and it would be so fucking useful that you would go blind just looking at it.
New Pornographers videos. The portents of a grassroots movement to make Eric "Crooked Fingers" Bachmann the heir to Neil Diamond's musical kingdom, except for the new stuff, which is crap.
(There's a book I own - "Diamond Dogs" - that when I read it, I realized that if I ever wrote something, that would probably be a crutch I lean on - using my pop culture fixations to create oddly charming, quirky characters. It's an okay book. And don't get me wrong, I like Neil, but this seems stupid to me.)
I'm going to bed, mercifully.
