Please note, OFF mode does not last long, and will be followed quickly by noises as the unit revs back up again. Do not be alarmed if this unit makes YUMYUMYUM noises as it refuels. Also be aware that this unit is prone to weaving between your feet as you walk.
Do not step on the unit or it will emit squeaks and attempt to use its grabbers to hold your feet still.
Addendum: For longer OFF mode times, and to reset your unit, rub part (a) (not pictured) The Belly pad for longer run times once the unit has been reset. Do not be alarmed if unit curls into a backwards comma shape as you rub the belly pad. This is normal and expected.
If unit receives belly maintenance when it is not ready, the grabbers will hold your hands fast while the kickers in the back boop your wrists. The Fuel Intake System also has a bonus cleaning system, which this unit may attempt to use on the belly rubber. This is rarely lethal, though special ridges on the cleaning pad may cause abrasions to the skin if allowed for too long.","comments":"https:\/\/svashtar.livejournal.com\/574975.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/svashtar.livejournal.com\/574570.html","pubDate":"Fri, 03 Oct 2014 02:13:58 GMT","title":"I've got more krampus","author":"svashtar","link":"https:\/\/svashtar.livejournal.com\/574570.html","description":"So I made this avatar today.
I was in a bit of a stompy mood the past couple of weeks, so I figured it was time to throw another Industrial\/EBM\/WhateverTheHeckGenreYouThinkThisIs set into the mix. I DJ online periodically, doncha know, and it's usually of the 80s oscure New Wave variety, so it was nice to come up with something a little more...resonant.
Okay, rivetheads and freak-kitties, here's what got played. The song pile has grown exponentially, so my goal of having every song in the known universe is well on track. Okay, so I won't get every song. After all, I cannot stand Celine Dion. She has no place in my world. With that said, here's the play list (9\/13).

It isn't for lack of interest or anything; I still prefer LJ to the likes of Twitter, Facebook, or whatever, but time is of the essence and I just haven't felt like sitting down to write.
That said, contrary to popular belief and\/or hopes, I am still very much alive.
Summer School ends on July 3, which means I get a very delicious five weeks off before dealing with another ten months of dealing with special needs and other kids.
I will likely do something fun during that time. Maybe a horsey ride on the beach again. Definitely gonna see a bunch of retro old farts playing music at the Whinery again. This time it's Howard Jones, China Crisis, Katrina (sans Waves), Midge Ure without Ultravox, and Tom Bailey without the other two Thomspon Twins. I'll let you know how it goes.
Two items of note: The Fixx are playing the Boardwalk for a free concert. They're great in concert and it's the original line up. Well worth a jaunt over 17 to see them.
Also, The Tubes are playing on the 4th of July, same place. Complete with Fee Waybill. Heck, he IS the Tubes. You can't go wrong with White Punks on Dope. What do you want from life?
BAY AREA PEOPLE<\/b>
There's a really, really, REALLY good Multipurpose Asian Restaurant in Fremont\/Newark\/Wherever. I can't tell exactly where because borders are confused in that area. So this place is called Hi Land Sushi Restaurant, and they're located on Newark Blvd\/Jarvis in the Raleigh's shopping center. They're on the side closest to Newark Blvd.
This used to be the mediocre sushi boat place, but it's like they learned how to make good food or something. The boats are still there, but they seemed to be dry docked the day I went.
In addition to the Spider Roll (which was made with soft shelled crab instead of the traditional tempura prawns), I had something called the Spicy Crunchy, and something else called the Hama J roll. Spicy Crunchy is spicy tuna with spicy something else and things and stuff. The Hama J is this jalapeno hamachi roll that will make your taste buds quiver with delight.
They do have non spicy sushi, in addition to a wide range of Chinese dishes (!), and some Thai things that apparently get served at lunch time.
Also, they have bottled Fiji water, if you like paying for your agua.
Oh and the dessert! Made at the restaurant. Not packaged stuff. Scratch. They gave me a complimentary chocolate brownie thing (c'mon, it's wafer thin) that would have caused me to burst open if I had eaten just one molecule more.
Go there. Go there now. I want this place to survive, if nothing else for those Spider rolls.","comments":"https:\/\/svashtar.livejournal.com\/571328.html?view=comments#comments","category":"random"},{"guid":"https:\/\/svashtar.livejournal.com\/570646.html","pubDate":"Fri, 25 Apr 2014 04:16:19 GMT","title":"meet boomer","author":"svashtar","link":"https:\/\/svashtar.livejournal.com\/570646.html","description":"I need this the second it's available to the general public.

I downloaded it because DRAGON. Plus it's minimal synth, so it has a better than average chance of being pretty good.
On the other hand, I told <\/a>foofers<\/b><\/a><\/span> that A Monster Goes Rawrr had a 99% probability of being a good band, because they're from Australia, and Australian bands rarely disappoint. It turns out A Monster Goes Rawrr is in that 1% block of suck from the Land Down Under. Too bad, because the name of the band is made of AWESOME.
I have noticed that bands with "Dragon" in the name tend to be good about 50% of the time, so I'll let you guys know on Magic Dragon once I've listened to them.
