take this job and…

…give it to someone else.

Oh, fine. I obviously had some issues with the whole work-for-no-pay-yet-be-taxed-on-it thang. Next!

Leaving the Psychoanalyst, by Remedios Varo

I’m funny that way. Maybe Guido has at last made a Capitalist of me?

Nah.

Here, listen to some rousing folk rock about the military-industrial complex, creeping fascism, and the IMF. I always find that cures it.

And by the way, there’s already a fat, ripe emergency for the new hiree to deal with and no, I didn’t cause it. So for that reason alone I’m glad I didn’t get the job.

Also, oh god how I love that painting. “Woman Leaving the Psychoanalyst’s Office” by Remedios Varo.

Ruptura by Remedios Varo

conspiracy 911: the real reason it happened

Another video from apeman, the twisted Canuckistani genius who brought Hinterland’s Who’s Who’s Crack Spider into being.

Again, I’m sticking the video and lyrics over the jump because I was told that it was kinder to the people on dialup and also because I hope this way I won’t have to do a bloody restart every time my cache fills up.
