I started to listen to Iannis Xenakis, a modern classical music composer thanks to something IV wrote a few months back. I like it, because it's utterly unlike anything I'd ever heard before.

Thanks for posting this on the Marc Maron thread. It's so awful over there, I keep looking for anyone I knew and it's just a wasteland. Hell, they might all be there but Kinja's hiding them.

Single-spacing has been the standard for a few years now. I had to retrain myself, but now it’s second nature.

“[A] crowd of sweaty, agitated people...”

Godspeed, Count.

This seems like a good one to go out on. See you on the other side, friends.

It's more sickened by, but we'll let it go this time.

I'm going to give it a shot. You weirdos are more fun than working.

You're one of the best around here. Thanks for everything.

I hope you win second place in a beauty pageant.

Eventually, yes. But not today.
