Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

shitty, shitty course. I'm quitting this one faster than Dell IT because I want to actually learn, not spin my wheels  Coursera is starting to lose me. I don't know how much longer I will be paying for Plus.  No. No, we did NOT look at the lab environment in the previous section. The previous section was an intro to the course with no links and nothing... There was no website to access, no software to download, he opens a lab environment and does NOT tell us how to use it. This was clearly a lazy port and someone didn't bother to include the URL or software download.  Embarrassing.  Back to the drawing board for my Linux hypervisor quest.  Probably just going to do Linux Basics for Hackers and be a real edgelord

I've got to do this more. It's hard getting yourself pumped for a water park when it's cold out, though.  But like...just the austerity of the walls contrasted with the color of the slide, the oppressive feeling of being trapped...and yet at the same time you look out at the beautiful city lights and feel so safe . This video in general was hypnotic to watch. The blurry lights amidst the darkness outside. The way the top of that spiral slide is shrouded in darkness. It makes you feel tired, like you need to rest and sleep for the night. And yet, there's just this sense of mystery. What happens if I go down it? What if I come out the other side and I'm not here  anymore? 

Tonight's spooky music, just a small sampling: Motionless in White: Undead Ahead RCT3: Haunted House (I used to play this from the station of my childhood wooden coaster masterpiece, the Bone Breaker, while peeps avoided riding it because the design was terrible and it had an intensity and nausea rating of Uber-Extreme) Insane Clown Posse: Boogie Woogie Wu Insane Clown Posse: In My Room Blvck Ceiling: Cold  Cornbelly's announced on socials that there will be some new things this year, and they were cryptic. We shall see.  Fall activities I'm looking forward to: Frightmares, Cornbelly's, hayrides, Haunted Forest, pumpkins, St. George Marathon, the Haunted Half, Drawtober, indoor water sliding, walks in the forest, scary media.  writing sample from today, but super rough draft and kinda gross: Zanthi aimed his wand at a vase filled with red and pink flowers. The star atop it pulsated, its normal sapphire blue glow turned to swirling black. The flowers seemed to bend, as i...

NANI? Looks like we get our Friday before Memorial Day opening of Cornbelly's Spanish Fork after all! Thank you, corny crew. 

Despite some of us being both.  Disney adult archetype = ESFJ 7w6 Coaster enthusiast archetype = INTP 5w6.  Look at that, man. Polar opposites. 

I'm still in OMG DISNEY mode, having gotten back from this year's Orlando trip a few days ago. That's fine, but I prefer to be equally balanced between all of my passions. The goal is not to turn down Disney, but rather just to turn everything else up. :)  However, this makes me think yet again of how irrational ideological hegemony is. Take the idea of "you're weird for being a man who does expensive RunDisney races which are dominated by women" which yes, I do experience. No one says it explicitly  but you can feel the side-eye. Never mind that I was 18th place out of over 12,700 people.  That statement has a few underlying assumptions that, when you take them apart, have no actual underlying logic.  Being "weird" is negative (why? weirdness is defined implicitly as deviation from the cultural norm, and what about that is inherently negative?)  what is wrong with doing something that has more women than men in it?  why do I need to be "mascu...
