That's twisted, because i was thinking about defining that term, today. Haven't read Sinfest in a couple of days...
And, yesterday at work, i played IT guy, because... apparently... the IT guy... couldn't fix his IT problem... I was right... Bureaucracy Makes you Stupid. People were applauding me, and teling me how good i was with computers... I went into the the QuickTime Online application, and told it to stop trying to open .TIFF files... which it shouldn't have been doing anyway... So all i really did was fix a small installation fuck up. And the more i explained how Tiny of a thing it was, the more they lauded me... One person in that office doesn't treat me like a puppy with an unknown quantity of neat tricks. Or salivally transmitted/airborne diseases. She's the one who said, you know, it's kind of messed up that he couldn't do that himself, as he's the IT Guy, over there. Yeah. One more week, one way or the other...
I'm trying to get a whole lot of things under control, again... And i've got this sense of purpose... Like i'm the Storm, again, and not just some tree in the Eye, waiting to get shredded... Though that has its own merits, i guess..
In other news, this poem, from the Tower, got stuck in my head, this evening, around 5.40, or so.
"SEE the Turtle of Enormous Girth!
On Its Back, It Holds the EARTH!
IF You Want to Come and Play,
Walk along the BEAM, Today!"
And things serve the Beams. All Beams serve the Tower. The Tower Serves Everything.
Read more Hofstadter, today (natch), and got the distinct feeling of being Laughed At/Helped Out, when he started talking about symbolic logic, in a format that made sense. Focussing, entirely, on the Modes (part i failed), and leaving out the Truth Tables (part i passed), as extraneous, to his purposes, in the book. Hm. Brought about thoughts of teaching a class with Mozart, and other various musics, in the background. Enhancing the modes of the moods for the topics, in class, that day. Simply a thought....
I'm gonna book. Back later, perhaps. We'll see.

Unless the fall breaks your ankle. Then the judges deduct points, and you're Fucked. You don't even want to KNOW how harshly the OutWorld judge scores...
