been spending too much time inside lately.

it’s easy to use the broken rib excuse, but i really can’t defend my compete and total regression into mind-numbing lethargy lately. need to fight it and get back into things again. spent the morning reading today and it reminded me how little i’ve done lately. as usual, it started with books (like, the actual paper kind), then moved into web reading. checked a lot of friends’ pages, interweb hipsters blogs, godblogs and techblogs. strangely enough, since i’ve stopped working, i find most of my internet reading time (actually most productive free time) has cut way down. guardshack time was multislack time. it quite forcefully kept me motivated to be sober, awake, and filling my time by avoiding work. someday need to get a job again in order to get more productive slacking accomplished.

anyway, here is your daily dose

of blasphemy:

of eschatonic hilarity:

of  a regurgitated meme:

and, finally, of crocoduck:

It’s not that I want humanity to die under the relentless stranglehold of silicon-based death machines. It’s just that I love science fiction. And I, for one, bow to our new carnivorous overlords. Speaking of science fiction, this is my favorite quote of the day:

“If you look out into the long-term future and what you see looks like science fiction, it might be wrong. But if it doesn’t look like science fiction, it’s definitely wrong”
