Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 109)

When I was an eensy meensy teensy little…schmeensy, and I heard the song that has a chorus “Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you…” I thought they were actually saying “Every time you go away, you take a piece of Ming with you…”

I was curious why someone would take a vase every time they left, and also why someone would write a song about it and not seem at least a little bit irritated.

Oh well, I guess Bingo Jed had a light on.

Why You Should Listen To My Online Radio Station (Seriously)

1) I have absolutely no interest in encouraging you to become a VIP, since the ads (while mostly stupid) are brief and IMPO quite tolerable.
2) I will freely encourage you to use AdBlock Plus to stop most of the annoying ad sh1t they put on my station page.
3) I really don’t care what you rate the songs…really. So you don’t have to worry about me pretending to give a fck. I play it if I think it’s good. That’s all.
4) You will never, ever, ever hear “Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town”.
5) It doesn’t suck, because it’s already succeeded.
6) THERE IS NO REASON SIX

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 108)

When they play “More Than A Feeling” (again) during a Patriots game, does it seem a little like you’re David Cross in MIB and they’re ringing the bell? Or you’re you and you’re listening to DC’s antitheist rant? Or my pointing out of an antitheist’s antitheist rants?

“Ok, yes..yes, yes, good, thank you for repeating that…thank you…”

 

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 107)

Re: ‘A Taste Of Armageddon’, Star Trek: TOS, conflict resolution:

Since they have such a high consciousness of duty, and since all-out (real) war is the alternative (barring Kirk-ian intervention), wouldn’t they just have said “Ok…we know this sucks, and they’re being really mean…but the Enterprise crew won’t do the disintegration thing. Can we have 430 volunteers, please?” *430 hands go up* “Thank you.” *End*

Q And A With Site Spammers – 11/25/15

“…I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?…”

No.  And I’m not gonna buy one of your d@mn (Insert Product You Tried To Advertise By Using A Seemingly Legit Question To Get The Comment Approved That Included The Address Of Your Obvious Sh1t Website) , either.

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 106)

A very logical conclusion.

“Kirk: Evaluation of M-5 performance, it’ll be necessary for the log.
Spock: The ship reacted more rapidly than human control could have maneuvered her. Tactics, deployment of weapons, all indicate an immense sophistication in computer control.
Kirk: Machine over man, Spock? It was impressive. It might even be practical.
Spock: Practical, Captain? Perhaps. But not desirable. Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.”

Blast From The Past

Hey Linda Cutts, remember this?

It’s even better in context.  You know, how you promised with tears in your eyes and emotion in your voice that you would NEVER EVER EVER let me go to prison?  How I was alone and lost and you begged me to trust you, and I asked you if I could because I was so desperate for ANY REASON to not feel ALONE, and you said yes, and I asked if you promised, and you said yes?  And how you said you would BE THERE, absolutely, no question, period, to make sure I NEVER went to prison?  When I was my most vulnerable, terrified and horrified, how you promised me that?  Remember?  I do.

Wanna know why I have horrific trust issues, or why I wake up flailing and screaming in the middle of the night at every replayal of what you did, then and before then?  Have a listen!

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 104)

I think someone should make a ‘Human Centipede’ parody called ‘The Human Minutely-And-Inconsequentially-Altered-Human’.

In this film, a human would be kidnapped and then, unbeknownst to them, a very minor and trivial thing would happen to them before they were returned, without their knowledge of what it was.

Say, one strand of hair being cut. Or maybe a fingernail nicely buffed. Or perhaps a gold star on the forehead?

The possibilities are endless, and THINK OF the number of sequels!

Not any dumber than HC 1-3.

Q And A With Site Spammers – 10/21/15

“Excellent blog post. I absolutely appreciate this site. Thanks!”

Thanks! Your website/link/email/whatever sucks and I’m not gonna advertise it. You’re welcome!

“Security personnel have to speaking with each other so everyone gets on the exact same web page.”

I think that speaks for itself.

“Why visitors still make use of to read news papers when in this technological globe the whole thing is presented on web?”

Well, that’s a pretty deep philosophical discussion, actually. The reason why there are still books, etc…

“hey there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up anything new from right here. I did however expertise some technical points using this site…”

Umm…sorry? Thank you? Both?

“If you wish for to increase your know-how just keep visiting this web site and be updated with the hottest news posted here.”

Couldn’t have phrased it better myself.

Ahhh…fans. This is when the five years of work REALLY seems worthwhile. And, of course, as was put perfectly regarding my blog:

“It’s not something that ought to be done without the assistance of an experienced property specialist.”

Am I Insinuating Something????

Currently playing LOTS of grunge and alternative(and some indie) on my online radio station. I’d LIKE to play some more indie, but I would need indie bands/artists to offer their music for airplay consideration, you see.

Like one already did, and got added.

Semper Puppy Radio – A Commentary

To people that listen to my station and then IMMEDIATELY stop when they see a particular “type” of music coming up…get over it.

I mean, I think most of the stuff by Misery Signals is wretched, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the beauty of “Worlds & Dreams”.

You know, like…give it a chance. Like alt/indie artists want their music given a chance.

How do I know this happens?

I can SEE.

I Love The Smell Of Vitriol In The Morning

“I guess you were hoping for a woman who pitied you enough to think your jobless, carless, psychological need for intense cuddling and likely, eventual asexual relationship was going to be appealing. I’m sorry that I don’t share your lackluster desire participate in life, nor your need to self-righteously preach to other people your personal views. Everything about your profile suggests someone who is clinically depressed and I’m not interested in rescuing anybody, nor will any other person who gives a sh1t about forming healthy relationships.

You’re right, I feel much better now, Thanks!”

You know what annoys me the MOST about this message? I spent DECADES trying to come up with a good summary of myself and then she comes along and gets it just like THAT.

The Way Things Are

It’s amazing, I think…how some people can watch a movie like ‘The Shawshank Redemption’, and CRY – like I do – and then proceed to show that their tears were false; evoked by outside forces but not really felt, as meaningless as any other lie.

10/16/16: FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Good clip from a great movie. (housekeeping)

OkC – Exploration Of A Strange New World (Part One)

Entry One: As I move through this strange new land, I find myself slowly becoming accustomed to the habits of the natives. I was surprised at first when I discovered that everyone here likes both ‘Amelie’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’…but I’ve come to accept, if not fully comprehend, it.

Entry Two: Cursory examination of the landscape itself reveals apparent lacks of genuine substance in areas dubbed “fourth down the list” and “seventh down the list”. These areas appear, to the best of my estimation, suitable for occupying space between the other, more solid areas. As such I assume they are necessary, though I am at a loss to explain why or how they developed in the first place.

Entry Three: I have performed some basic testing on the natives. My results are shocking – though admittedly this is a VERY small minority, some of them have answered “Yes” to the following questions:
1) Would you sleep with a serial killer?
2) Would you date a cannibal?

Or perhaps the actions are reversed, I admit I am a bit shaken by the results. However, this does lead me to a conclusion that is very similar to the innovative ‘Penguin Experiments’ conducted many years ago:
These people score poorly when compared to primitive human sub-groups like the Bushmen of the Kalahari, but better than BBC Programme Planners. The clarity is devastating.

Dating: Substance Over Situation

So…”ideal date”…I don’t get that.

I UNDERSTAND…I just don’t get it. Like Michael Stipe and “this fame thing”. (My periods are above the normal laws of English).

Everyone knows, deep down inside at least, that the answer to this question in the basic, expected sense (dinner and a movie, meet for coffee, meet for tea, meet in the middle of a rubbish dump, etc…) is VIRTUALLY meaningless compared to what you’re REALLY thinking/feeling when you ask/are asked that.

Which is: “Who gives a sh1t? The most wonderful situation would be ruined by the wrong company and the most mundane, boring situation would be vastly improved by the right company.”

It’s a cr@p question. It’s part of the charade…I mean, noone CARES about half the stuff on a dating site. It’s trivial and unimportant, put there to fill up space between the things people actually DO care about.

Which would be: What do they look like, how do they think, how do they “feel”, what do they believe, what do they want…you know, things that actually really matter when it comes to compatibility.

The rest is, in comparison, meaningless.

It’s the civilization of dating/mating; a way to make it easier for shallow people to find each other, and for non-shallow people to weed out the shallow ones. Nothing more. (Per JJ: ItMoM, JT)

It would serve just as well, but be considerably more honest/less subtle, to simply have (apart from the necessaries described above) a section labeled: “Write whatever you want:”

That’s what people are looking at. Noone cares what your favorite food is, not REALLY. They want to see “you”. They want to see how you present yourself. At least, I HOPE most people are this way…it would be sad if someone actually messaged someone else MAINLY because they both like the oxford comma.

So if you see a profile where they skip the BS and just get right to the point, it’s not necessarily because they have nothing to say. It’s not necessarily that they “don’t care”. It MAY be because most of the questions asked are deemed unworthy of lengthy answer, since they essentially don’t mean a d@mn thing. Therefore, to not answer is a legitimate means of expression.

Or, they just don’t give a sh1t. Too close to call, really.

BTW…why the fck does everyone like ‘Amelie’?

The Approximate Level Of Importance I Place In The Opinions Of People I Don’t Give A Fck About

Of course, they shouldn’t give a fck about this.

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – I hold no rights to this clip nor am I profiting by it in any way. I am using it as a means of criticism. Also, to criticize IT: it is a brilliant display of dismissiveness towards someone one cares nothing about.

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 100)

If you’re ever talking to someone and they go from intelligent to borderline insane (or are in flux between with destination obvious), don’t panic. Oh, and HHGTTG is vastly overrated. But I digress…don’t panic, just pretend you’re on the Enterprise and you have Spock there just in case and they’re saying “Colleagues…” (Or “Seminars…”, or both).

Also, I believe I mentioned this before but it might help to imagine Curly Howard’s reaction when he’s freaked out/suddenly surprised about something in mental response to the original imagining.

Here’s a good example:

4:40-5:27

That should do you really wonders.

…So Is Every Character You’ve Ever Made (Or: Why You’re A Fcken Moron If You Dismiss Anna’s Songs As “Unoriginal”)

“If an artist may say nothing except what he has invented by his own sole efforts, it stands to reason he will be poor in ideas. If he could take what he wants wherever he could find it…his larder would always be full, and his cookery might be worth tasting.”

“Every idea is a juxtaposition. That’s it. A juxtaposition of existing concepts.”

“All writing is in fact cut-ups. A collage of words read heard overheard. What else?”

And, My Top Three (Well, I Did STEAL THEM ALL, But…)

3) “The beauty of the collage technique is that you’re using sounds that have never met and were never supposed to meet. You introduce them to each other, at first they’re a bit shy, clumsy, staring at their shoes. But you can sense there’s something there. So you cut and paste a little bit and by the end of the song you can spot them in the corner, holding hands.”

2) “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.”

1) “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent.”

-Puppy (The third letter stole from the first, and the fourth stole from the first AND the third!)

Spock’s Reaction

From IP: 5.45.68.89 in The Netherlands.

NOTE TO SELF: Think of an interesting name to dub them.

Hey, nice to see you again. I was beginning to get worried.

Crazy Swedes…

“They’re (Dutch).”
“Whatever.”

And Now…

“…why are you probing my website?”

MUD Review – Threshold

No review of roleplay.

This is a MUD that heavily “encourages” you to PAY-TO-PLAY after you’ve played a certain number of hours…if you don’t, you eventually show up on a list. What is this, ScarletLetter MUD?

I mean…it isn’t the pay aspect that bothers me. It’s the fact that you don’t necessarily FIND OUT about this until you’ve invested some time in the game…therefore making it possible you’ll like it (or hate it, I have no idea) and THEN find out, thereby making it more likely you’ll pay.

I just don’t agree with that.

MUD Review: The Search Continues…

I won’t mention the MU(x) name, since I didn’t actually play it…just a quote here:

“Brambling pages: you will need to think about the other things, and then justify it in the questionnaire. You are making a STARTING character…”

Apparently, it’s not appropriate for a STARTING character to be “very good” (4) at something they’ve practiced for 21 years…there.

Well…in my subjective opinion.

and ON, and ON, and ON…

“(An Imm, name withheld cuz they weren’t a 4 at anal-retentive) says, “You may do what you wish. It is your opinion.”

Thank you.

*SATIRE…SATIRE…SATIRE*

Why My MUD Roleplay-Quality Reviews Are Better Than Yours

Regardless of other factors, I give what is, in my opinion, a COMPLETELY accurate assessment of roleplay quality…one unbiased by current favorites, current moods, current storylines, urgings to post reviews in exchange for Quest Points, urgings to post reviews in exchange for a pat on the head, friends I wanna suck up to IC, friends I wanna suck up to OOC, friends whose feelings I don’t wanna hurt…and so on. I mean, you know I do. And you know you don’t.

*Daffy Tongue*

Sources Of Inspiration

Oh, for any interested TI players that might read this and that “heard” Anna play, here are the inspirations for the three songs she played (not including improv, short performances, etc):

1) See previous post, ‘Noon’

2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWV6dcv21c8

3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxgfNUYP9XY

And here’s the one I was working on:

(leaving out certain parts, with extreme variations)

And thanks for the memories. Great Party! :) (Seriously).

At least Moxie’s one note revelation saves Anna the problem of deciding which Noble House to be the Court Bard of.
