One of the coolest things I've seen in a while.
(But then again, I haven't seen Fonzie in a while... *misses*)
I was reading an interview of Ron Perelman (Hellboy) the other day, and he is so awesome. That makes me happy.
Something that doesn't make me happy:
Have you ever been working on a project, and thought "yes, I know there is one more thing I need to do, but since it's fairly easy, I can do it whenever" and then pushed it back and didn't do it until much later? And then the thing didn't turn out to be quite as simple or easy to do?
(Yes, this is another ActionScript story. Don't hate me for being emo over it, hate [Exapno Mapcase] instead.)
Well. You remember I sorted my stupid script-problem and was all like "whee parr-tae!" back then, yes? What I didn't mention that there is still one thing of my project to do in AS. I need to communicate the abstracts that the buttons/machin
I need lunch now.
*jumps on the bandwagon*

It's the "link to a Daily Mail article -day!
I decided to go for this sorrowful story obviously because of the sob-factor. I want you all to weep as uncontrollably as I did when I read the news.
A moment of silence, if you please.
This is the it that it is all about:
In the twentieth century we have made a successful transition from the sooty iron surfaces of the industrial revolution to the liquid smooth surfaces of computer graphics. On our computer monitors we may be just beginning to see a reflective surface that looks increasingly like a mirror. In the virtual world that exists on the other side of the mirror's surface we can just barely make out the form of a body that looks like us, like another self. Like Narcissus looking into the pond, we are captured by the experience of this reflection of our bodies. But that reflected body looks increasingly like a cyborg.

Yet I do not wish to see a better me, a cyborg behind that reflective surface. I want to see the sooty iron surface. I don't only want to see it there, I want to put it there.
Morality in a nutshell.

I was not aware of the fact that Ron Perelman not only played/plays Hellboy in the recent movie-versions but the he was/is the voice of Hellboy in the original animated movies. In fact before today I wasn't even aware that there were animated Hellboy movies. I've just watched Sword of Storms, and it rules and I am currently drawing some Hellboy fanart in MS Paint.
So to recap:
-Hellboy is awesome
-Ron Perelman is my new favourite everything
-I still feel a bit sick -_-; (this has nothing to do with Hellboy, it's just my whatever that's acting up)
-I seem to have a link in my wikicomments to elftown freak show XD We should make that wiki some day. :P
Quoth someone complaining to the guards:
"that member was banned just for argueing about a scientifical picture that was taken of a solar flare, which was ment for the purpose of others to use and look at.. now true he broke the uploading arts rule because it wasn't his..but he should atleast be able to appeale."
Oh, so when you know the rules and still break them, you have the right to appeal. Gotcha. -_-
The picture that broke my heart this spring:

Time for a long-forgotten dose of Alexander Woollcott:
-All the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal, or fattening.
-I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it.
-Many of us spend half of our time wishing for things we could have if we didn't spend half our time wishing.
-Germany was the cause of Hitler as much as Chicago is responsible for the Chicago Tribune.
-There is no such thing in anyone's life as an unimportant day.
-His huff arrived and he departed in it.
-A hick town is one where there is no place to go where you shouldn't go.
-The English have an extraordinary ability for flying into a great calm.
-At 83, George Bernard Shaw's mind was perhaps not quite as good as it used to be, but it was still better than anyone else's.
-I have no need of your God-damned sympathy. I only wish to be entertained by some of your grosser reminiscences.
-It comes from the likes of you! ... Take what you can get! Grab the chances as they come along! Act in hallways! Sing in doorways! Dance in cellars!

Love him much more than you love me, that's an order.
Mon dieu, my sister just told me that the bourgeois parties won the elections in Finland. o.O I mean... I'm very clueless about Finnish politics because it's all just different shades of grey... But I've somehow always expected that the socialist-demo
And I hear that the strange man Jyrki Kasvi (whose website was in Finnish, Swedish, Estonian and Klingon) also got in... Got all the trekkie-votes I bet :P
*edit*
I just realised that they're going to make the new ministers and stuff! :O If Erkki Tuomioja doesn't continue as the foreign minister, I'm not impressed! But he is a social democrat so it's gonna be well strange if he gets to be a minister... Whoever else is appointed, I'm going to start paying close attention to him/her.
Why must I suck at ActionScript? Why must ActionScript suck? X_X;;
It's like a communication gap- well, not like, because that's exactly what it is. I know what I want it to do, I know it can do it, I tell it to do it and it doesn't do it. >.<;;;;
That's actually very poetic... I'll call this piece:
The Programmer and It.
I know what I want It to do.
I know It can do it.
I tell It to do it
and It doesn't do it.
Look out WritersCo, here I come.
New poll, my lovelies. :3
People still haven't stopped singing about me. Most recent example is Van Morrison's Domino:
Don't want to discuss it
I think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
And think I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst and what is best
Dissertation done and bound in two copies to be handed in tomorrow midday. If I seem to be floating about two feet above ground, that would be why. :P
And because some people who don't want to read rantings got a diary alert from me, here's a nicer topic: yesterday's lunar eclipse. I watched it. 'Twas lovely.
This one gets a bit ranty, so be careful with it :P
Have you ever come across a wikipage where the discussion has been about scripture being rationally ripped apart by people who don't believe in it? People saying things like "in the Book of Blahblah it says here that everyone should kill one bunny once in a blue moon, that just means that Christianity is really evil and unacceptable and immoral and that's why I'm a satanist - brb, gotta go drink the blood of virgins" etc... ? Or not even that extremely, but you know, in that general negative, non-faith way?
Well I have. Several times. I've learned to avoid them because those people do not seem to understand that you can read scripture and you can read scripture, but then again: they don't want to understand it either. They just want to annoy - they are like little mosquitoes of satan. Not advocates of him, just little annoying groupies that you don't want to talk sense to but just want to swat in the back of their heads. Anyway. Recently a friend of mine made a wiki for mutual understanding and support between people of the faiths islam and christianity, because the two come from the same source, yet politically keep clashing. And he asked all muslims and christians who just want the two faiths to live in harmony to sign up. Then something interesting happened. People kept coming saying "I'm not a Christian nor a muslim, but I support this, can I join?" o.O It's like... wtf? Can't you support the idea without joining a wiki you don't fit into? Oh yes that's right, joining a wiki means you don't really have to do anything, do you? When someone asks you to make the world a better place, you can just say "oy, I support the cause, don't gripe at me." It's like a thin person joining the weight watchers, just to support the cause and people who want to loose weight. Because if you're not a muslim, you don't have to walk there out in the street and be afraid that someone's going to make the connection between your faith and terrorism. You don't have to cringe everytime there are news about corrupt paedophile priests or raging anti-abortion fundamentalist
Ah well, my friend accommodated them, making two lists: members (for Christian and muslim users) and affiliates (for other supportive users).
Now two of the affiliates started to say stuff like "yeah, I don't agree with everything Christianity offers" and I could see where the discussion was headed *points at beginning of post* and I asked if they'd mind taking the stuff somewhere else because the wiki is not meant for stuff like that. And now they're hoping to making a subwiki of it. o.O Why can't they just make their own wiki for that? Why does it have to be related to this wiki? Why do these pagans have to ruin the fun for everybody else, why do they always do that? >.< It's like where ever you turn you have to accommodate them, even in completely non-paganism related wikis? I don't go to random non-Christian wikis and demand that my faith be somehow included. (Well, I know why they do that actually, and it's not all of them clearly, it's just the 'recent' ones who think it's cool and controversial to be pagan and thus in order for people to see exactly how cool and controversial they are they feel the urge to flaunt it everywhere. In short, it's the playgans, to steal a term).
