where were wii?

I thought to myself, "Ain't fanboii just the cleverest thing!" And then I thought to myself, "The feminine alternative seems a little forced, but the 'girly' of fangirlii makes more sense than the 'geerl' of fangiirl." And then I thought to myself, "Since the purpose for which these were created fell through, why not offer them to kind visitors who might happen to be Nintendo enthusiasts, inviting them to download them and use them for any purpose whatsoever, be it personal or commercial?"

And then I got up from the compter to play with my Gamecube.

shipping & handling

For those friendly folk who are curious about the possibility of more etherbrian merch (buttons, books, bronze sculptures, tshirts), here's an official statement: Please stand by!

Cursor Wednesday

"This is Venus Flytrap, here to brighten, tighten, and enlighten your starlight hours," quoth the evening DJ at WKRP in Cincinnati. Once the TV show had left primetime and gone into syndication it made quite a splash on the local independent station in my city. A real-life DJ on a real-life radio station (whose playlist was not dissimilar to WKRP's) remarked at the time that the program was closer to reality than the general public realized (though that's likely changed over the 20 years hence, years which have seen radio reach its lowest ebb). I loved the show no end, but I will not be purchasing the DVD. Copyright chaos and royalty payment insanity forced various pop songs to be replaced. Those songs were integral to the stories! Les Nessman putting on his toupee without Hot Blooded playing on the overhead speaker? Off with their heads!

By the way, the best end theme ever. Meow.

The good people who regularly visit this place do so in order to see my art. Because they do not arrive to read about the mundane minutiae of my life, I'll be sparing them the details of my time away. But I must make mention of one particularly momentous occasion: I saw a Van Eyck! In all my years of slouching in a desk in art history classes, no artist moved me more than this Netherlandish genius. As I approached the painting a shivery sensation ran down my back. As I walked away my legs were unsteady. As the hours passed I pondered whether I should personally pursue my own art any further, but then figured, what the heck, why not!

please stand by

The arrival of June means it's time for a little break for etherbrian! Thanks for your kind patience until I return. Communications communicated in my absence will receive responses in the order in which they were received. See you again in 7 days!

UPDATE: The black-and-orange button to the right (the one with the small ghostie that serves the dual purpose of celebrating bygone low-fi gaming goodness as well as reminding you to memento mori) once provided a link to a shop at which it and many other buttons designed by yours truly could be purchased. Sadly, said shop is soon to close its doors. Until other arrangements are made it will link you to the recent button giveaway, an event I hope can occur again very soon. Again, good-bye! This time I mean it!
