Halloween. Ascii. Well, firstly, ascii means a few different things,
I think. But to me, it is mostly just creating images out of text,
like the Luger you see above. Aren't poems images created out of text?
Ascii fascinates me mostly because it's crappy and awesome,
like when you log in to a Multi-User-Dungeon (MUD) and
there is a drawing of an elf or an orc or something using the letter 'H'.
I sort of hate elves and orcs, but that is pretty amazing. I did no work on the
Luger, but the parallels between crappy ascii art and my poetry are pretty
striking.
I didn't mean to make any connection just then, I just wanted everyone to see an ascii Luger. Oh well. My roommate's girlfriend wore a jacket that said "asci" to a Halloween party I was attending last night, and I was sad it wasn't ascii... and no one got it. Now someone will. Basically, I was a space pirate and I listened to Tech N9ne and had a good time in general. I am not a particularly fighty person, but I almost got into three separate fights yesterday.
none of them over ascii, though I'd fight for ascii before I'd fight for any political party or religious ideology.
I love sonik youth
