Okay, yes, I'm a total dork

...for implementing footnotes in my last post. But, seriously, that paragraph before footnotes? Totally unreadable.

Anyway, to make up for my total dorkiness, here's Angry Flower Veterans for Truth. What's more disturbing than Bob (sorry, Robert) in a suit is that he looks good in a suit.

Many people look better in a suit than you might give them credit for.

I dearly miss my suits.

See, the point wasn't that I underestimate the ability of people to look good in suits - I think it's hard to find somebody who doesn't look good in a suit, and in fact I'd pay good money to see a few of my female friends in suits - so much as he's a fucking flower, mate.

Also, he is NOT KNOWLEDGE.

I like footnotes! I often think of using them myself in my posts. But then I think perhaps they would be too disjointed - there's something about the way they appear on LJ that isn't as visually pleasing as the way they appear in a book. I guess becuase a book has a bottom of the page where you know to look for em, while as on LJ they are often in the middle of the page unless you happen to luck out and be the last post on a page (in friends view). Um. Anyway, GO FOOTNOTES!

See, okay, seriously? Disjointed, maybe, but here's the original paragraph:

I went to the gym yesterday, and actually feel better for it today. My knees want to foment an armed rebellion, though. I've been reading Feynman's Rainbow on the treadmill; it's a good read (tisana, I thought of you during the last chapter I read yesterday, about a grad student and a professor trying to food on a weekend and ending up mooching off of the buffet at an on-campus wedding: "Are you on the bride's side or the groom's side?" "Neither. We represent the physics department."), and the text is large enough that I don't have trouble following it while I'm walking. I need to get a pair of earplugs (well, another pair; I already have one, but I like to keep it with my drums so that it's always handy and I don't have to go hunting and run the risk of getting distracted before I can play) and a visor, though, to eliminate distractions (I wish I could find more good books on CD. I don't like buying books on CD, because I'm less likely to listen to them more than once than I am to read a physical book more than once. But my library's selection is limited at best). These distractions are, specifically, the TV screens that are lined up in a row in front of the cardiovascular machines (treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical, &c.). Something flashes and catches my eye, and it takes me a good 30 or 40 seconds to get back into the book.

Seriously.

This is why I use footnotes.
