And it won’t be a pretty sight
My trek into the depths of insanity continues! Every time I think I’ve hit a new low, it just keeps descending! See for yourself:
- I turned down a very nice offer to go work for a startup run by my former coworkers, because I’m pleased staying at my near-death, imminent layoffs, chinese dissident journalist brokering employer.
- I changed my mind about Death Cab For Cutie after two years of not liking their music. Next thing I know, I’ll be listening to Mates of State or Coldplay or something. Then again in 1999 I thought Korn was pretty great, so maybe I just have shitty taste in music.
- I’m actually enjoying (a lot of) first-person shooters on a regular basis. As an added bonus, normally I’m morally opposed to multiplayer games (or any games that assumes one has friends, since I don’t) but I’ve seriously had fun playing Team Fortress 2 (on Xbox Live no less). I still haven’t turned on the voice chat though.
- I’ve seriously considered going back and rejoining some of the online communities I left behind (there are many!). Hopefully my resolve is strong enough not to go back on this one.
And in one case where I wasn’t completely crazy, I was watching Shortbus last weekend and I swore I recognized the singer who was performing throughout the movie. I looked him up and it turns out he’s Scott Matthew and also did vocals for songs in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. So my recognizing his voice was actually not me being delusional. For once.
