12:12 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS OFFICE CULTURE MEK OBLIQUE MENTION RECENT JOB OFFER, NOT ANNOUNCE FINAL DECISION... MEK ACCEPT AND WILL GO BACK TO WORK IN OFFICE ENVIRONMENT START JUNE 30. COMMUTE WILL BE ONLY SLIGHT BETTER THAN LAST MEK DOWNTOWN STINT, BUT GROUP TYPICALLY WORK FROM HOME ON MON & FRI. (HOPEFUL TRAIN NOT TOO LOUD BEFORE MEK-EARS GET STRONGER: MEK WAS OKAY ON TRIP TO ENT YESTERDAY, AT LEAST...) IS WORK FOR COLLEGIATE ONLINE COURSEWARE GROUP. SEEM LIKE INTERESTING STUFF WITH GOOD MISSION. MEK CAN GO BACK TO USER-EXPERIENCE STUFF FOR FIRST TIME IN LONG WHILE (THOUGH MEK NOT HOT ON BACK-END TECHNOLOGY: ALL PERL!). MEK-FRIEND DOUG WORK THERE, SO THAT WHERE MEK HEAR ABOUT (AND GET REFERRAL). THAT, AND IS TON OF MONEY: MEK IS BIG WHORE!

11:48 am	MEKKASIMIAN VS 16VOLT FOR PEOPLE LOOK FOR NEW MUSIC (LIKE amber_laine), TURN OUT 16VOLT (ONE OF MEK-FAVORITE BAND) RELEASE BACK-CATALOG FOR FREE DOWNLOAD. 16VOLT IS SOLID GUITAR-INDUSTRIAL: PLUG INTO PANDORA MUSIC SERVICE AND WILL GET RELATED BANDS LIKE KMFDM, MINISTRY, WHITE ZOMBIE. OVER CAREER DEVELOP GREAT FEEL FOR HOOKS AND MELODY. ALBUMS TO CHECK OUT: CERTAINLY "BEST OF" MAKE GOOD FIRST CHOICE! ROCK-SOLID MEK-FAVES ARE "SCN V2.0" AND "WISDOM". SEVERAL GEMS ON BETWEEN ALBUMS. SO CHECK OUT IF MAYBE APPEAL... AND LATEST ALBUM ALSO EXCELLENT IF FEEL LIKE DROP MONEY! (SADLY, 16VOLT COVER-SONG OUTPUT NOT REPRESENT IN DOWNLOADS! "TURN JAPANESE"! "DIRT DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP"!

12:54 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS CDK cdk POSE META-QUESTION! Did you expect you'd get so many questions? SEEM PRETTY MUCH ON MARK FOR MEK-EXPECTATION. Do you consider yourself a "furry" NO. JUST... NO. Do you think the derision and scorn furries are subjected to is warranted? MEK THINK XKCD COMIC ON SUBJECT GET PRETTY CLOSE TO MEK FEELING, AND BELIEVE GEEK HIERARCHY CHART (OR UNABRIDGE HERE) HOLD PRETTY TRUE. FURRIES TEND TO SAY GET BAD RAP IN PRESS AND ONLINE. SAY CAN BE MERELY, "SELF THINK (CHOSEN ANIMAL) IS COOL"... IN THEORY. THING IS, NEVER SEEM TO SEE "MODERATE" FURRY: ALWAYS GO OVER THE TOP TO NEAR PSYCHOLOGICAL OR IDENTITY DISORDER. OVER-SEXUALIZATION OF ANIMAL GET INTO WHOLE WEIRD AREA. SURE, *LITTLE* BIT OF PARAPHILIA BETWEEN CONSENT ADULT NOT HURT ANYONE, BUT THERE *IS* LINE, AND SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISE WHEN "DERISION AND SCORN" RESULT. WHOLE NOTION OF PERSON WHO FEEL IS BORN "TRANS-SPECIES", ANIMAL SPIRIT TRAP IN HUMAN BODY (OR "HYBRID SOUL"), IS SIMPLY *FUCKED UP*. REALLY. NOT ABLE EQUIVOCATE: IS IDENTITY DISORDER. GET HELP. AND YES, THIS REPRESENT EXTREME ELEMENTS, BUT EXTREMISTS SEEM TO BE "SPOKESANIMALS" FOR MOVEMENT, TO POINT WHERE MODERATE PERSONALITIES NOT WANT IDENTIFY WITH LABEL. BY CONTRAST, MEK SEE NO PROBLEM WITH COSPLAY IN GENERAL. GO FIGURE. BUT COSPLAYER NEVER SEEM TO TAKE TO EXTENT OF SAY, "*THIS* IS *REAL* SELF". SO... ANYONE UP FOR GAME OF MOUSE GUARD RPG? =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...) (6 Comments |Comment on this)

1:51 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS KILBIA kilbia ASK MULTIPLE: How did you find cdk's livejournal? MEK NOT SURE! SOMEHOW MEK PICK UP TEXAS CONTINGENT. MEK WOULD GUESS THROUGH balamuthia? How are your cats doing? VERBAL-CAT NOW ON GENERIC PROZAC TO SEE IF FUR-PLUCK BEHAVIOR PART OF OCD. TOAST-CAT PARTICULAR WHINEY OF LATE: COULD BE FEEL BAD, BUT COULD BE JUST BECAUSE CLINGY SIAMESE. SCHWA-CAT IS STILL TORTOISESHELL, WITH ALL "MS.-THANG" ATTITUDE ENTAIL! Do you think you're a good kisser? MEK SAY NO, BUT MRS-SIMIAN SAY YES. (CAN APPARENTLY TOLERATE BANANA-BREATH!) Do mechanical apes need to wear underpants? YES. IN FACT, GOT BUNCH ON SALE PREVIOUS WEEKEND! BARGAIN UNDERPANTS! MaryAnn or Ginger? Or are you old enough to get that reference? MEK *QUITE* OLD ENOUGH. MARY-ANN, IF CHOICE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT TOSS GINGER OUT OF HUT! =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:43 am	MEKKASIMIAN VS REPUBLICAN PARTY USUAL DISCLAIM: MEK FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE, VERY STATE-RIGHT/SMALL GOVERNMENT, AND ANTI-FREE-RIDE. USED TO VOTE REPUBLICAN, BUT NOW NEVER WILL UNTIL PARTY DUMP BOTH JESUS AND BIGOTRY FROM TICKET. THIS ONLY SOLIDIFY MEK POSITION: RNC CHAIR SAY GAY MARRIAGE WOULD HURT ECONOMY ANY REPUBLICAN WHO WANT MAINTAIN RESPECT FOR PARTY (OR OWN SELF) SHOULD DEMAND EITHER RETRACTION OR RESIGNATION FROM MICHAEL STEELE. SURE, OUTRIGHT BIGOTRY ON RELIGIOUS GROUND ONE THING ("ADAM AND STEVE! DURRRRR!"), BUT TO DISGUISE AS PROTECT SMALL BUSINESS WITH SUCH FLAW LOGIC? REPREHENSIBLE. OR MAYBE MEK SHOULD SHRUG AND CONTINUE ON MERRY WAY, HOPE THAT REPUBLICAN PARTY CONTINUE SELF-DESTRUCT AND LOSE CREDIBILITY BY ELEVATE MENTALLY DEFICIENT EXTREMIST PEOPLE TO LEADERSHIP ROLES, AND MAYBE MIDDLE-GROUND PARTY WILL ARISE AND GET MEK-VOTE IN FUTURE. (IS BAD ENOUGH THAT OBAMA CONTINUE CAREFULLY SKIRT AROUND ISSUE...) EDIT: MEK FORGOT MENTION UNDYING LOVE OF KEITH OLBERMANN. ALWAYS MANAGE MIRROR MEK OWN INCREDULITY WITH IDIOTS ON PULPITS. =M= (7 Comments |Comment on this)

10:14 am	MEKKASIMIAN VS DOOGS19 doogs19 ASK: I'm not talking about a favorite song or anything like that ... but if you could identify one moment of a song to exemplify why you like music so much, what would that be? MEK LOVE WHEN MUSIC DEFY EXPECTATION, ZIG WHEN THINK WILL ZAG. EXEMPLIFY BY DRUMS IN "INDUCTIVE RESONANCE" BY LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN. WHEN RETURN TO "A" SECTION AFTER BIG SOLO, DRUMMER DROP SNARE ON 2 FOR *ONLY* TIME IN SONG: ALWAYS GIVE MEK CHILLS! (HAPPEN AT 4:01 IN VIDEO RIP) SUPPOSE IS ALSO WHY MEK LIKE SHIFTING METERS OF PROG AND IMPROV IN JAZZ. (ALSO GOOD EXAMPLE OF MAKE IMPACT BY OMISSION, RATHER THAN OVERPLAY...) =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:37 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS WAIWODE HEY, REMEMBER OLD INQUISITION THREAD? IS BACK... waiwode ASK: You're Leni ReifenstApe, filming Triumph of the Will to Post. What's the first shot in this visually stunning documentary often decried for it's role as a biomechanical ape propaganda piece? WITHOUT DOUBT: SLOW APPROACH TO MEK PLAY WITH KITTENS UNDER SHADE OF TREE ON HILLOCK, SURROUND BY VERDANT FIELD ON SUNNY SPRING DAY, AS GLOCKENSPIEL MUSIC PLAY QUIET IN BACKGROUND... =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...)

FRIENDS NOT LET FRIENDS DO SELF-EMPLOYMENT: ONLY WAY TO WIN IS NOT TO PLAY! HONESTLY, WHY SELF-EMPLOYMENT SEEM LIKE RAZOR-WIRE DILDO UP RECTUM? SOMEHOW DESERVE PUNISHMENT FOR GET OUT OF 9-5 OFFICE JOB? WORSE YET, MEK IN INTERVIEW PROCESS FOR 9-5 OFFICE SOUL-SUCK JOB DOWNTOWN. MORE MONEY, MORE COMMUTE, LESS FULFILLMENT. WHY MUST LIFE ALWAYS DEVOLVE TO ART VS COMMERCE? =M= (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:22 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS FACEBOOK ANYONE KNOW HOW MAKE MEK-FACEBOOK ACCOUNT ACT MERELY AS POINTER TO PERSONAL WEBSITE? MEK GET TIRED IGNORE FRIEND REQUESTS, SINCE ONLY MAKE ACCOUNT FOR OLD JOB WORK RESEARCH... =M= (Comment on this)
11:44 am	MEKKASIMIAN VS BRAINIACFIVE WATCHQUESTIONS FROM brainiacfive! Has Mek seen Watchmen? If so, what does Mek think of the changes w/r/t the comic? And more generally, reactions to the whole 'shot-for-shot' style of comic book movie adaptations? MEK NOT SEE WATCHMEN. IN FACT MEK NOT *READ* WATCHMEN: THINK BORROWED AT ONE POINT BUT WIND UP NO TIME TO READ... AS TO SHOT-FOR-SHOT, MEK APPRECIATE DEDICATION TO VISUALS OF SOURCE MATERIAL. MEK PARTICULAR LIKE APING ICONIC SHOTS IN "SIN CITY" AND "300", BUT PERHAPS BECAUSE FILM STYLE VERY "GRAPHIC" AS WELL. MEK NOT FEEL NEED BE *ENTIRE* SHOT FOR SHOT, THOUGH: MAYBE TOO OBSESSIVE? IN OTHER COMICS, THOUGH, STORY MOST IMPORTANT, AND CAN EVEN CHANGE CHARACTER DESIGN WITHOUT BOTHER MEK. SO... TAKE OR LEAVE, SO LONG AS DONE WELL? =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:11 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS MAPS_OR_GUITARS (NOW WITH BONUS ERISREG!) MEK BEEN SLACKING ON INQUISITION POSTS: HAD CODE DEADLINE FOR BETA DROP TODAY! TO GET BACK TO SPEED, START WITH BONUS NON-QUESTION FROM erisreg: things have been slow all around,..o.o MEK THINK PARTLY WINTER MALAISE. NOW THAT SPRING CLOSE TO SPRINGING, SHOULD SEE POSTERS COME OUT OF COCOONS AND SHARE LONG-INCUBATED PROJECTS... REAL QUESTIONS FROM maps_or_guitars! 1) Is irony dead or alive? Discuss. IRONY IS *UN*DEAD. NOW IS SHAMBLING STINKING MOUND WHAT USED TO BE. ALMOST SELF-DEFEAT BECAUSE EVERYONE FEEL NEED SAY, "SELF BEING IRONIC"... WHICH PERHAPS META-IRONIC THIS POINT. MAYBE IS BECAUSE MONEY ENTER EQUATION. USED TO BE, HAD TO MAKE *OWN* IRONY. NOW CAN BUY IRONIC RETRO RETREAD T-SHIRTS OFF RACK. IRONY CANNOT BE BORROWED. 2) Who wrote the book of love? MONOTONES ...OR WAS M_O_G BEING IRONIC? =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...) (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:45 pm	MEKKASIMIAN VS BALAMUTHIA balamuthia WORK IN MOMENT OF INDIGNATION: I respond to your music posts! And I still listen to music from the last one! Harumph! HARUMPH INDEED! SOME DO LISTEN TO MEK-MUSIK. THANK FOR LISTENING! SOME NOT. MAYBE SOME LISTEN BUT NOT FEEL QUALIFY COMMENT. MAYBE SOME NOT LIKE MEK-STYLE IN PAST AND ASSUME STAY SAME, SO NOT LISTEN ANYMORE. OR MAYBE LISTEN BUT NOT LIKE AND THINK SAVE MEK FEELING BY NOT COMMENT? IS HARD TO SAY. FOR MUSICIAN (AS ANY ARTIST) IS HARD TO GAUGE WHAT SILENCE MEAN! THEN SELF-DOUBT PICK AWAY AT EGO... MEK VERY HAPPY MEK-FATHER LIKE MEK-MUSIK, APPRECIATE EVERY STYLISTIC TURN AND TECHNIQUE EXPERIMENT EACH MONTH, AND WILL DISCUSS ASPECTS OF. MEK-FATHER FAVORITE MEK-SONG IS SELF-ROBOT, AND ALWAYS BUG MEK FOR FULL VERSION (SINCE WRITE WHEN CONTEST TIME LIMIT VERY SHORT!). FOR THOSE INTEREST, ENTIRE (PUBLIC) RELEASE CATALOG: HERE. REAL QUESTION: What was the genesis of the bio-mechanical ape? SEE, WHEN MOMMY BIOMECHANICAL APE AND DADDY BIOMECHANICAL APE LOVE EACH OTHER VERY MUCH... MEK USED TO HELP RUN ONLINE TEXT ROLEPLAY GAME (AKA "MUD" OR "MUSH") WITH MRS-SIMIAN (WHERE FIRST MEET). WOULD CHANGE NAME/PERSONA OCCASIONALLY OUT BOREDOM (SINCE STAFF REALLY NOT MINGLE WITH ACTUAL PLAYERS "IN CHARACTER"). ONE WAS MEKKASIMIAN, PULL FROM COMIC TRADITION OF ROBOTIC APES. (MAIN INSPIRATION "KRIEGAFFE", NAZI "WAR APE" EXPERIMENT, FROM HELLBOY COMIC... THOUGH MEK-AVATAR ACTUALLY GUN-WIELD CHIMP FROM "HELLBOY: BOX FULL EVIL"!) ON PREVIOUS "MAGAZINE" SITE OF FRIEND (FANTOD CITY! RIP!), SERIES OF JOKE ON FORUM LEAD MEK TO BRIEFLY POST AS MONKEY: NOT SURE WAS MEKKASIMIAN, AND LIKELY NOT CAPS. BUT AFTER FC WENT UNDER, AND REST OF CREW MIGRATE TO LJ, MEK DECIDE NOT WANT AS SELF. AS MOMENTARY WHIM FOR ADOPT PERSONA, CHOOSE MEKKASIMIAN. REST IS (MULTIPLE YEAR) HISTORY. =M= (LINKBACK: ASK QUESTIONS IN ORIGINAL INQUISITION THREAD...) (13 Comments |Comment on this)
