A couple hours ago, a big ol' wasp flew into my office and when it flew out the door I closed it immediately and there's no way to know if it's just hanging out right behind the door in the hallway waiting for me so I guess I live here now someone please throw snacks to the 3rd floor window of the Bioethics Unit at McGill

🎶 Brown's BODY lies mold'ring--🎶

::giant hook emerges from offstage::

SomeBODY once told me about a bird that's turnin'
And turnin' in a widening gyre
It was lookin' kinda lost cause it couldn't hear its boss
As it soared ever higher and higher

Well, things fall apart and the centre's not holdin',
Anarchy's loose and there's no controllin',
Innocence drowned in a blood-dimmed tide,
The worst get intense while the best just hide

So much to do, so much to see
Images out of Spiritus Mundi
You've gotta move those slow thighs
Open up your pitiless eyes

Hey now
Lion body
With a man's head
Go play

Hey now
You're a rough beast
Get the show on
Get paid

Your hour's come round once more
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be bo-orn

If thine heart is set to join the Router Tree:
`iface eth0 inet dhcp`
Release thy hold upon thine local name
Become dynamic, never called the same
Where TCP and UDP abound
A chorus chants, but all without a sound
Tread carefully on this chaotic shore
For thou shalt return, forevermore.

US AS A KID: what the fuck, why is /etc/network/interfaces syntax like this?!

US NOW:
Within thine file, as well you know
`allow-hotplug` upon `eth0`
Listen now for words dogmatic,
`iface eth0 inet static`
Give an indent, for good fortune:
`address 10.0.0.1`
At last, invoke the final throw:
`netmask 255.255.255.0`
With this, the contract shall be sealed
And to your host, the net revealed.

SOMEbody once asked me
To go see Pagliacci
To cure whatever's getting me down
Then I burst into tears despite laughter and the cheers
I am the famous traveling clown
