This was on the unhinged hatefest side. I am not an Apple fan myself, but now is not the time to rip into Steve Jobs. I can recognize world-changing genius and a life cut short without wanting to own an i-anything.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So my Shawn ryan interview is totes fucked. I did something dumb, and all you can hear is my questions, and not his answers. I'm sort of screwed on that. I can extrapolate, but that's dishonest.
Also, I sound like an asshole.

Okay, with my headphones, I can make out enough for nice quotes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.
Sad as Jobs' death is, I keep coming back to this. My dad and my grandmother both died of this kind of pancreatic cancer, the evil fucking killer kind. When I heard Jobs had the other kind, I was dumbfounded. All those extra years of life, what a blessing. And he made good use of those years, ya know?
And Suzi, that is just... grrrr!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Tom Quinn is a terrible spy. Very unsuited to being a spy.
I'm also not totally in love with TJ's shelf stable pilaf.

Oh, that made me laugh out loud. Because it's true, and I haven't thought about Tom Quinn in years. Which reminds me that I stopped watching that show about half way through season 5, and now it's in season 10, and I just don't know if I can handle it. It constantly ripped out my heart, stomped on it, shoved it back in, and then... again.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
NPR did a nice piece on Jobs.
First woodstove fire of the season, yay! I brought all the plants in. Snow in the mountains expected, and it may get down to 6500 feet ( we're at 6010).

Ah, Netflix. Allows me to relive the rollercoaster.

Have you kept up? Can you get through series 9 on Netflix?

we're at 6010
Wow, we're only at 4600 feet, but we're at the foot of a mountain that's 11,749 feet. 7000 feet doesn't really look like that much when you're looking up the street at it, though it is a very impressive hunk of granite.
