Hello my fellow netizens. I would like to introduce you to Song Of the Day.
Today’s selection is by The Ziggens, with their song: ‘I Took My Mom to the Prom.’
This is quite amazing. And it involves pig bladder powder, which is always fun. You just have to see this video.
If you have read my posts or know me in person, you already know I am one of the ‘weird ones.’ But, the price of therapy is too much for me to pay. Or maybe I just don’t feel like it.
My computer does a lot for me. Its like a little attachment to my brain. And, now I know how to make it listen to me like a therapist would.
In the Mac Terminal (or at any command line), type emacs, hit Enter, press Escape, type “xdoctor” (no quotes).
What you get: An interactive dialogue with a shrink named Eliza. To get out of it, hit Control+X Control+C.
Try it out. You know you need the help…
