maslow’s hierarchy of needs, megalomaniacal blogger edition

Maslow's Hierarchy of Writer's Needs, click for full size

Found via a loopy stagger around and off sulz‘s blog. Cross-posted to running through rain.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is more well-known than well-understood, but now any old Myspace slacker still straight enough to click a quiz without having to close one eye and move his lips while watching YouTube can find out how self-realized s/he may be without all that icky “reading for comprehension” stuff that just slows us down.

The internet moves at the speed of thought. Which explains why it takes this blog so long to load, eh?

Maslow's real hierarchy of civilian needs although who cares about the plebes, eh?

Useless Science, by Remedios Varo 

On the one hand, I had a job interview today, yay, go me, etc, etc, whatever.

On the other hand, if I get the job I will earn money, but I will not now, nor in the future, actually receive the money.

Final Fantasy: otaku nerds pwn bullies

You do not need to understand Japanese to love this video I stole from Japanprobe. It’s two anime nerds (otaku) facing down two bullies, Final Fantasy style. The reading of the scroll is particularly moving, I must say, and the stylistic violence is reminiscent of early Peckinpah although the unconventional heros evoke Tony Ching Siu-tung‘s more humorous masterpieces.

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.
