although I hate to say this because of the jinx-it factor, moving into a new place which is highly conducive to getting things done may make stuff happen this time for DJRD ... among other things :)

Here's what Klownhole would use, if Klownhole weren't down yet another member this week. For some reason there is an unrecognized (to my knowledge) meme on Youtube: women experiencing brake failure. It goes like this: Driving. Foot (often in high heels) trying to brake. Panic. Verbal statement of brakes failing. Panic. Then ... nothing.

WTF? http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... ke+failure ... Seriously. Over and over. The same pattern. Sampled from movies and television shows, compilations ... even "custom" recordings. What am I missing? Misogyny? Terrifying and inscrutable fetish?

Anyway, there is one inspiration. From which I will not take. I think Klownhole might better stick to the experience of running over my head.

True story.

Man, for some reason I thought the deadline was Sunday, not tomorrow. Hopefully I can get my act together tonight. It's surprisingly hard to sound like a mid-90s garage band.

Man, I had been hoping to get back in on the fight with this one, but school opened for me today and I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to get something together.

The DJRD part of Me tried to write something, and ended up with this very "RangerMe-ish" piano-synthy surgy soundtracky thing that there was no way to put lyrics to. I'm going to give it away to someone because it didn't work for this although I was thinking of the title during its creation. But things work out for the best. I'll try again later. My room is up and running though, except for sound proofing. I LOVE it!!!! I'm ALL ALONE here for the WHOLE DAY!
(yes, I'm really stoked!)

Something really weird happened to Klownhole this week. Completely different from things that have happened before, not in 10 or 15 years.

Probably a stroke.

Anyway, it is submitted. Enjoy a rare 90 second entry and ride Klownhole's new monster. With a hole big enough to drive a truck through.

I had a few art ideas but I don't feel like drawing or photo-manipulating any of them. I was thinking maybe something with a fixie-riding hipster about to get creamed by a car. Or something.
