Lefkowitz: your blog has been an utter disappointment the past few days
Simko: I know I know I knowwww
ActionScript 3.0 did me dirty today… Maybe that whole “fundamental restructuring of the prior language, so much so that it uses an entirely different virtual machines” thing was a little much Adobe? Perhaps releasing a 2.5 version (as a warm-up) would’ve been a fair play? Just saying.

I’ll save this… But just in case I ever quit creating design to cause crime.

Munson: i'm confused, does that store sell rims? total non sequitur, but "She really enjoys her peas" is a sentence that just wouldn't work if it was said aloud.
Simko: I'd ask where that came from but instead I'll just confirm you being right
Munson: there were some peas in the freezer. there not mine. i assume there gabby's roommate's. i suppose i shouldn't eat her peas.
Simko: ...
Munson: i misused they're twice. i know but i just wanted to get to the part about eating herpes
Simko: ...
Munson: give it a while, it'll sink in
Simko: like a VD
Munson: like herpes
Simko: I just saw a great cartoon - summarized "I just had a baby... it was delicious."
Munson: ah. she ate the baby
Simko: Apparently
Munson: i wonder if she had a side of peas

Simko: It's annoying how if you nap when you are sick you only wake up feeling worse
Feder: it's not fair - the Nap Gods won't allow you to nap if you're over the age of 10 and that's bullshit, because I fully need more good naps now than I did as a toddler and those naps were forced on me
Simko: Amen...
