The message from the stars?
What if we get a signal from the aliens, and the one thing they send back... Of all things... Is...
FREEFORM INSTRUMENTAL JAZZ MUSIC!
And they send it because they somehow figured out it's the one thing both our species have in common. I wonder what amount of time scientists would spend trying to decode the meaning of that?

A Manual for 116.27914701
If anyone cares to know, this manual should be close enough... (Has all the features and most
parts are the same. Not the exact same model, but considering how much is identical, honestly it looks
like a revision to me.)
http://www.sears.ca/manuals/div-20/20_116_22805%20116.22805C_BOM_2007.pdf
Now if only someone could explain why the U.S. Sears website doesn't conveniently provide downloadable manuals for free like the Canadian one does. Greedy bastards.
How did I find this. Sometimes I'm a bit persistent in my online search skills.
Also, please comment if you somehow found this useful or found a more exact free .pdf of this manual on a site that's not malware infested.

Download Helper Extension went spammy
I don't know when they changed it, but Download helper extension has started doing malware style things like putting ads I don't want to see superimposed on my webpages and such. It's really noticable when you're using Adblock and NoScript, and there's shit you don't want up there on the screen.
So I disabled that extension.
Shame too, since it was useful and convenient for grabbing videos and the such. But until they quit doing that, I'll stop recommending this extension to anyone else.

Weird dream interrupted by alarm clock
The weirdest dream...
The thing is, I wanted to see where it went but got interrupted. Got to go to work, as usual...
Anyhow it was something where I was in what looked like an old high-school building. First class was something about preparing and getting art presented in a gallery. And it happened to be taught by one of my college instructors. But what I remember was like the tail-end of something. Getting paintings hung and preparing for framing...
Ok nothing weird there. That was just the lead up. So leave that, and go to another class.
Pack bag, head down the hall, go to some gen-ed or study period kind of thing. But it was adults. Everyone in their 20's and 30's. People setting bags out, getting books and papers ready, general idle chit-chat before class begins. And then this one fairly plain Asian girl I remember from high-school named Caroline (but she's in her 30's like eveyone else, I just recognize her) pulls out two submachine guns from her bag. Then nonchalantly pulls out two clips, proceeds to pop them into the respective guns, and does the lock and load. The person in front of me says something, to which I reply, "Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with this. In fact if anything happens, I'll just be going out the window." And she's just sitting there with the guns out on the table in front of her.
But before I could experience whatever happened next in the dream BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...
AAAAWWwwww Damn it! Got to go get ready for work.
The oddest and most curious thing. And I really wanted to see where it went.

Dear Universe...
Yeah, another weird post - but couldn't hurt to try...
Dear Universe (or Universe admin),
Can I have ops please? Oh and terminal access with a list of op commands.
I've been at this game long enough, so I figure I know what would be needed so everyone plays nicely. Too much griefing or imba things in some aspects.
If not, that's ok too. Just figured it might be fun to tweak the gaming experience a little with some creative play.
A new gamer's guide or wiki would also be nice too. The old ones are outdated considering all the updates and changes that have been made to the game since those documents were released.
Likely I'll never see a real answer to this, but either way I still see humor to this seemingly pointless thing called the universe and my seemingly pointless existance within it.

Battle Angel Alita commercial?
I suspect James Cameron has almost got that movie finished (see title), and that's what the new Droid commercial promos are about. I guess they have Angelina Jolie playing Alita? At least that's what it looks like.
