I got a new snake

She was a rescue, and was brought back to health by an ERAS member. Apparently she was left in a home with no food or water for 4-5 months, and is very angry. She is content to strike at me from inside her enclosure and bounces off the mesh. It is my hope that with some constant handling she’ll calm down. More pics when I get bit.

Here she is, all coiled up. This is Pythona:

You know what I thought about a long time ago and am just finally getting around to writing about?

Vending Machines. Yeah. Bet the title didn’t give that away.

Vending machines are pretty ordinary, but they can be amazing. For instance, imagine a vending machine that dispenses vending machines.

I’ll give you a minute to collect yourself after your head explodes.

Okay now that you’re back, let’s look at this. That would be awesome!!! But now would you need a vending machine around one hundred times the size of a regular vending machine? Would it dispense full size vending machines, or miniature ones? How would you refill them?

Now imagine if you had a recursive vending machine. A regular vending machine that dispensed vending machines, which dispensed vending machines, which dispensed vending machines, which….oh you get it.

Man this has kept me up at night before, but it’s going to do it again tonight.

Apparently Crysis has been reworked last minute to allow for low end computers to bask in the pretty graphics. Best Buy has the enhanced version with the lower system requirements.

Catch me now
I think I’m falling
My tears stand still
As they fall with me

This feeling felt before
But falling much faster now
Never had the time to watch
My tears as they froze in time

Falling to a familiar place
But which one will it be
The horrible darkness
Or a new high

I know I fall alone
As I fall in silence
But whether I fall alone forever
Takes forever to learn

I do not know
Which way I fall
I must wait, and wait, and wait
For the end to come

Only then will I see
Have I hit bottom
Or reached a peak
It will be clear

When tears stand still
You wish they moved
But my tears stand still
Oh please let them move
