"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Staycation is winding down nicely. Spent some time with family, went to a museum, read through one book and then started Bonfire of the Vanities. Got to spend last night for the first time with a woman I met a few weeks ago.
Though I've noticed how my attachment to my real life begins to fray after about five days outside of work. For the first few days I had a very active plan for things. Then I started to wind-down and just saw movies and had lunches and dinners with people. Then I just started doing fuck-all. It really takes two weeks to totally compress, but this has been overall really pleasant and a good (plus cheap!) way to relax.
Now it's snowing outside in NY. Below are some photos (sans the ones with people/me) from this week, taken on my 1980s Nikon FE-2 35mm camera for practice. I haven't used the camera in years; my manual photo skills have really gone to hell.
think you meant to crosspost into the photograph thread...

When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Okay, I gotta find a way to use that in the workplace without getting fired.

Disassembly and minor restoration of 1958 Bell System rotary phone.
I got it this weekend for helping my mom's 90 year old friend install a new phone system. He gave me the phone I was replacing.
Mount Bonnell, why you so pretty?
Your search had no results.
Did you sit Batman-like overlooking a town all night?

Not really a massive fan of the whole occupy [x] thing (let's have 500 different causes under the same banner! and no coherent message! and an at best beginners understanding of the subject we are engaged in!), but I thought this was pretty awesome. Except they wrote stupid crap all over it. Ah well.
EDIT: ugh. could a mod please punt this to the pictures thread?

Anyone who understands logic gates will find this funny
Reminds me of the good old:
"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London
Meant to post this sooner, but forgot!

Ran into a 1974 Beetle while in my 1972 Beetle today:

Well if I hear my friends, the roles are quite the opposite.

What, they told you Julian Assange was the man of the year?
They're lying mate, and not very good friends.

For the 40th fucking time, Facebook doesn't sell information to companies.
Looks like Facebook itself states that it gives out our information. To help it provide services that it offers. Which makes it money.
