It rained like the real thing for 2 days straight and I feel like a real girl again. Clear in the head and barely sore in the body most of the time. I have the following questions:
Why don't students turn in Disk's instead of papers? Doesn't it seem like it'd be easier for everyone?
2: Why isnt there a light board, sound board combo so that you can have one Op do the entire show? There'd be 3 Go buttons. One that was lights only, one that was lights and sound, and one that was sound only, so you could run a sequence like this
Thunderclap (lights and sound)
sound fading on a 3 count, Powerfailure (lights only)
body falling down stairs and breaking a vase (in black, so sound only)
door slam with power return (lights and sound.)
That's one big machine and pressing Go 4 times instead of 6 at two boards. Has somebody already done this? I'm sure they have, but it's unlikely I'll ever work in a house that has enough money to get one.
stupid A/B slider board.

Posted by: freesia at November 7, 2002 12:08 PMI'm glad your head is clearing, but I desperately hope you recorded some songs back when you were making up words that don't exist.
Posted by: flamingbanjo at November 7, 2002 12:35 PMNo songs, but the chorus of all them would have been me crying softly while saying "I just don't know because I hate it and it's stupid and can I please have a sandwich? I want a sandwich so bad."
I *did* however, write the first 3 pages of my novel during the grand confusion, and I've discovered the phrase 'I don't know why this happens but it does' repeating itself all over. And then someone tells a knock knock joke.
it's gonna be great. 43000 words to go.
Posted by: sonya at November 7, 2002 01:09 PMOff-topic (but I don’t want to post this in my weblog):
Hey, guess what?
Somebody “gave” the Door-Scratcher a link to my weblog and she was apparently quite upset over something I wrote a year ago. I think it was about her ass. She sent me an e-mail saying that she didn’t feel right reading it without me knowing (she always was weird) but that she’d deleted the link and wouldn’t be reading it anymore.
My weblog is non-public. But if I wrote about someone you know, and you put their name into a search engine, up pops “Violently Ambivalent.” Go ahead. Try it. Go to Google.com and type in an Annex person's name or, say, “scooter pants” or “whumwhumwhum.” Hello, Sonya!
A little weird. I mean, of course I should have known that weblogs are searchable, but I didn’t think about it.
So, yeah. Pseudonyms = goodness.
Posted by: Molly at November 7, 2002 02:36 PMDid you call her by her name, or did you call her the door scratcher? What did she want you to do? Apologize for expressing how you felt about her ridiculous behavior? I'm all about the 'you don'na like it? You don'na read it.' THis is how my mother almost entirely avoids the word Fuck. works quite nicely.
Posted by: sonya at November 7, 2002 02:51 PMIn other news, CNN has projected you as the winner, with 20% of the word count-tallies in so far. I prostrate myself in obsequent humility.
Posted by: yukino at November 7, 2002 03:08 PMI called her by name, but didn't use her last name. And I'm not sure what she wanted.
I'm not apologizing, obviously, for the reasons stated above (thanks, Mrs. Walker) but I'm not sure why she felt the need to tell me. Maybe she just wanted to know that I know that she knows, which I actually think would be uncharacteristically cool of her to do. I'd much rather know when people are upset than have them stew and bitch silently, y'know?
Did you look up "whumwhumwhum"?
Posted by: .m. at November 7, 2002 03:14 PMsjet, mucho relieved to hear that you're feeling better.
To live up to my geek reputation, I will answer your question.
Yes, Yes they do.
(sort of.)
But they are:
#1 Bloody Expensive
#2 More complex than what you are hoping for, and this require an engineering masters degree, or a small platoon of genius-like furry critters to figure it out. (if your local supplier is out of small genius-like furry critters, substitute 1 Drood)
#3 Not really the single console that you dream of, but in geek true, a series of protocols for linking devices together, which unless your current devices are designed to run these protocols, you're stuck with the character building CD players and A/B faders.
Oh yeah, reason #4. Tech support? HAH!
have a goodly opening.

I did the same thing. I posted awhile back about the one roommate I've ever had who was so horrible to me that she made me cry on almost a daily basis. She has a very unique name, and so awhile later I tried googling her. Lo and Behold, I was in the top five links to her - and the caption read "{name witheld), the single most terrible roommate I've ever had" or somesuch. I felt a little bad about it, but not bad enough to actually change it. I kind of think that if she was googling herself and found it, it would serve her right. I never had the guts to tell her what I really thought of her, and I would be okay with her finding out second-hand. I wouldn't feel too bad about anything you put online - unless it's someone's email address. That's a shitty thing to do, because then they get millions of spam emails and it's all YOUR FAULT. Other than that, say what you want. It's the internet. That's what it's for.
Posted by: freesia at November 7, 2002 03:57 PMYup, Freesia, I agree, but my "Oh shit oh shit I fucked up" alarm has a hair-trigger, and it takes me a while to get back around to thinking that I didn't actually end the world.
(this is fun. I kind of feel like I'm on the lam from my blog. Implode is my safehaus.)
I'm not going to comb two years' worth of entries to see if I wrote anything incriminating, but I might start using pseudonyms for anything I don't want to be searchable. And I think I'll go back and change her name to "Door-Scratcher" just for fun.
Posted by: Mol at November 7, 2002 04:21 PMI'm all about the pseudonyms. Awhile back (more than a year ago) I posted a partly fictionalized story about a co-worker, casting him in not the most flattering light. One day while checking my keyword searches, I came upon a search that only someone from my office would put into google, then I came upon a keyword search for that guy I talked about.
I've never been so frightened in my life. I went through all of my archives, deleted all the real names and references to my place of business, and moved everything to a different address (hence, theshoeboxgallery instead of benlau2). I've since vowed not to post anybody's real name, even if I'm going to write "so and so is the best person in the world" because somewhere in my archives, I might've said differently.
Don't think nobody's going to see your site. If you talk about someone, they will find it.
I just pray to god my parents don't find theshoeboxgallery. That'd suck.
Posted by: benlau at November 7, 2002 04:21 PMI'm the YWCA of the internet.
Sven, I knew you'd know. And I suspected it wouldnt be as cool and simple as it should be. Dammit! 3 Go buttons! Thats what I want!
and you all know who was reading about my previous ill feelings the whole time, and then totally called me on it at a bar. I was actually kind of relieved. I guess all that wild venting didnt go to waste. (whats up, you.)
Posted by: sonya at November 7, 2002 04:31 PMAAnd also, Mike. I like the nightlife, I like to boogie....
and I've only got 8,040 words. My favorite trick today is to have one of my hero's tell a totally unrealted story about holland. There's 700 words right there.
Posted by: sonya at November 7, 2002 04:34 PMI keep waiting for the day when one of my students' (of any age) parents shows up at Spin the Bottle for nefarious purposes.
Also, in regards to question number one about disks, nope, it would be way harder for the teachers. Harder as in more time consuming. Grading papers and noting thoughtful comments is hard enough.
Plus, as a student, I always relished in the "happy sound of printing." We even had a little dance that went with it.
Yes, that's exactly the kind of college I went to.
Posted by: g. at November 7, 2002 04:39 PMthere's nothing more satisfying than listening to that good ol' dot matrix print out an opus of a paper that the prof isn't even going to read anyway.
and on a side note: since when do I have to add my e-mail to this thing or it won't post?
Posted by: benlau at November 7, 2002 05:06 PMIt's always been set up that way. Why? I don't know.
Posted by: yukino at November 7, 2002 06:15 PMThe head of a locAl venue for Contemporary dramTic works taught a directing lab at my college. He insisted (rightly so) that we document all our work, and required a written report at the end of the class. Most people blew it off, and he got really pissed, but one woman put an incredible amount of work into her report -- only to find it wadded up under his chair when he left the final class. She chased him down to make sure he got her lovingly-prepared document, and he said, "I, um, read it already. Uh, I didn't need to take it with me because I already know it was good enough for an A."
No shit.
