I know I will dream tonight of pasty white faced Gary or Greg or Bob, vague faced sales reps for ProjectorCentral.com, with embarrassing banner ads, self promoting, with animated GIFS that tell us how audio-visual is their passion. If it's true, then, for me, ironically, it's less cheesy. But I suspect it's some marketing hack trying to personalize the Web experience. If they knew anything about their audience, they'd put up pictures of good looking, but not overly so, women, like the girl-next-door of MicroWarehouse fame. She's someone you call and think you might have a chance of playing one on one Unreal with, in some seedy side of the online world. Maybe you can even talk her into being a Nali War Cow, so you can have the best of beef AND female fantasies simultaneously. HEAD SHOT. Eric the Red is DOMINATING.
People are overly emotional about buying eBay projectors. I spent what I thought was too much, even having eSniped it (thank you Scott, my mentor, my friend, my priceless gateway technology drug), until I got my 7 3/8 fitted late 70's, early 80's style Milwaukee Brewers cap today and immediately felt cool, guilelessly cool, like when I finally got a red boy scout beret and posed bad as bad as can be for those Christmas shots. It takes some of the fun out of, and adds some as well, knowing how ridiculous the attachment is. With my mesh cap, feeling cool, a little less though, but cool, Jans saw me and asked me if I'd lost a bet. I told him it reminded me of when I first got my new glasses, which I thought were cool, and everyone else thought were cool, until I got around the merciless D&D boys. They all chortled, and Jans asked me why I was wearing my Dad's glasses. And then everyone guffawed. It's ironic that the same guys who focus so much, as do I, on a complete fantasy world, also have the greatest grip on how ridiculous reality is.
But you can't wear a projector. I'm sure some people are thinking about how cool it will be to watch The Matrix, or porn, blown up on the screen. But it's ridiculous how much money people will pay for a three or four year old projector, with vague descriptions - only cracked in ONE place. Curses in Swahili after on for one hour. Pictures of sister's volleyball game were blurry, but so is my sister. MINT condition otherwise. I will watch and I will wait and I will let the desire pass into me and through me and then I shall stand alone and watch the projector I eSniped from and unpopular timezone.
Of course, I'll have to watch The Matrix on DVD, but purely for testing purposes.
