Pay for your own T.V.

So on February 17th all analog television broadcasts will cease and everything will be broadcast in digital.  So what?  Well, if you're currently using an antenna to receive your free local T.V. then you'll be without your precious shows until you get a converter box.  These things aren't cheap; around $60 for a generic one.  Apparently though, if you just can't handle that price, if you need your T.V. fix so bad you just might die, the government is stepping in and offering free 40$ coupons to help you with this terrible economic burden.  Are you f***ing kidding me!?  If I understand this correctly the government is paying, which means I am paying in part, for people to watch T.V. !  I mean, I know it would be horrible to miss out on Fox news for a while, but when did television become a necessity of life?  Pay for your own damn T.V.

Aloe abstraction

This is just the first draft image of an idea I've been toying with.  Here I've used iteration and repeated digital manipulations to abstract a photograph of an aloe plant.  I wonder how far you can go, how abstract it can get, before the image loses any semblance of what it portrayed originally and becomes something else entirely.

Absurd Solution 1.

Being the college male that I am it is natural that I do not own an iron.  Consequently, there are unfortunate yet infrequent times that I kick myself in the ass for not doing so.  Such was the situation this morning.  A particular pair of pants I own, and like very much, appeared to have been violently mangled, tied into a knot while wet, and thrown into the drier.  The creases were so extreme you might think I was trying to make origami with my pants.  Not good for going into public.

An absurd solution came to me all at once; a ray of sunlight dispersing the clouds of despair.  Can you guess what it was?  "I'll simply shower with my pants!" I said to myself. Brilliant.  I then proceeded to hang my deformed and angular pants on the towel rack inside my tub.  While showering as usual, and with the steam at its most dense, I smoothed the wrinkles with my semi-dry hands.  I emerged from the shower victorious and with amazing wrinkle free pants.  You'll definitely want to try this at home!

Paranoia.
