Number four oh four! Hope my computer doesn't crash. The concept, just so classic, wouldn't be able to get mad at the massive bird flip that would be--it would be too perfect, now you got a story with more mileage in it than any computer, etc, what are you gonna do, etc, etc. CETRA

Actually said "Greetings" to someone yesterday, like a teenager's idea of what a "bard" says when they enter a "tavern" to "put the louts at ease" before beginning  to "subtly enquire" after the whereabouts of the macguffin.

"Greetings, earthling! Do you happen to know anything...have you perhaps heard about...cartoons, but from Nippon?"

Maybe (hopefully) no one has actually said the above sentence aloud to another person without the vaguest trace of irony, and I have veered into the truly basement-bound, but it could be even worse somehow and still be real.

Anyway, I don't know why that word came out of me. Must be spending too much time alone.

The time I've spent in basements with dudes who never leave those basements except to grab things to bring back into the basement and eat--things, maybe not necessarily food--has made me realize that there truly are all kinds of people in this world. Also how easy it is to just be a kind of tick nestled into the crotch of your own species. And how rewarding, honestly.

Celebrate computer code today, the day of the four hundred and fourth post. Point and Laugh at a Coder for being Loser or Weird or Gay (rip, A. Turing) or Virgin or whatever you want to do to them, I guess, sky's kinda the limit--and thus provide a rich reservoir of the fuel that builds the modern world! And be responsible for the deaths of a few innocent women, probably. I guess all kinds of dudes kill women based on being mad about childhood or their rank in dude hierarchy or money or whatever, huh?

Man, I have every reason to be ashamed of myself--these things it pleases me to call jokes are fucking catastrophic--and I'm just not. Fuck you and up yours! Haha!

Is this what it's like to be...normal? Is this...how Donald Trump feels?
