Morning Earwig

So lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Jonathon Coulton recently.  Like many folks who are currently into him, I discovered his music due to a variety of World of Warcraft Machinima movies that feature his music.  The one that resonated with me the most, and the one I am currently earwigged with, is called Code Monkey. For your entertainment, not only do I provide a link to the video but the lyrics behind the cut tag below.

Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
have boring meeting with boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very diligent
but his output stink
his code not functional or elegant
what do Code Monkey think
Code Monkey think maybe manager oughta write goddamn login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy just proud

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
with big warm fuzzy secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you

Code Monkey hang around at front desk
tell you sweater look nice
Code Monkey offer buy you soda
bring you cup bring you ice
you say no thank you for the soda ’cause
soda make you fat
anyway you busy with the telephone
no time for chat

Code Monkey have long walk back to cubicle
he sit down pretend to work
Code Monkey not thinking so straight
Code Monkey not feeling so great

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
with big warm fuzzy secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you a lot

Code Monkey have every reason
to get out this place
Code Monkey just keep on working
to see your soft pretty face
Much rather wake up eat a coffee cake
Take bath, take nap
This job fulfilling in creative way
such a load of crap
Code Monkey think someday he have everything even pretty girl like you
Code Monkey just waiting for now
Code Monkey say someday, somehow

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
with big warm fuzzy secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you

Hrm…My font now seems to have been overridden.  Ah well.  I kinda sorta hate this WYSIWYG editor.

Feeling rather geeky, I’ve been looking for new t-shirts to go along with my code monkey geek kinda life.

Spent most of the weekend working on a new, dynamic web site for “ranney.” Have freshened up the look a bit, and am building him an administration console so that he can update the site without having to get in touch with me.

Also got a call from my buddy John Cecil last night. He’s got a new movie that he’s going to be shopping around, and he wants my help getting the target demographic to the free screening he’s arranging down here.

It’s kinda funny, but when I’m doing stuff like this I really don’t notice how much effort goes into it. Guess it’s that whole “time flies when you’re having fun” thing. Or maybe a more accurate turn of phrase would be “time flies when you’re involved in the arts.”

Heh.
