I now occasionally post private journal entries, often rants. It's strange that it seems to relieve my feelings to write it, even if no-one will see. But then I remember my resolution to try to rewrite them as greenenders, though I haven't had a great deal of success.
Today, we will represent my frustrations as animated mime.
*spiky orthogonal demon, about a foot tall, jumps up and down in front of computer, weeping*
*computer doesn't do anything*
*violins play*
*demon grips keyboard, pounds on spacebar with feet*
*violins make a "shutting down without saving" wawaaaaa noise*
*demon bangs head repeatedly into wall*
*computer lights up with data*
*demon rubs head ruefully and sits down to work*
*violins play ragtime*
*demon hammers away furiously*
*demon shakes fist at sky, punctuated by violent chords from violins, cursing the universe for being uncooperative*
*computer reformats demon*
*violins slide into honkytonk and then silence*
Well, that was surreal. At least it didn't have any phone menus in. I could see a frustrated cartesian demon representing me (a la the icon missnext made for me), though I don't think I could draw it even as well as the cuddly gruff dinosaur, nor would it be as inspiring. I do not have a tag for surreal pseudomime. I think I'm glad.
OK, after all that, I do feel better.
