Mar. 9th, 2010 10:17 amHaven't done it in a year-and-a-half, so...
MONKEY ROLL CALL!
There are a shitload of you and I don't know all of you, nor will I ever be able to. Still, I like to have photo reference. I even have a folder on Bettie (my laptop) with photos from the previous times I've done this, with filenames like "smileybead from LJ." Don't think of it as a nightmarish obsession, think of it as "My Brain Doesn't Fucking Remember Anything Are These My Pants Oh God Not Again."
Anyway, here's your chance to show off.
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair, just take the picture.
Post the picture with no editing.
Beneath it, give us a brief bio, tell us where you live online, and what it is you do that should delight us.

Damn, my teeth look all gnarly in this photo...in any event...
BRING IT!
Love,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Internet Monkey King
Yeah, that's The Rapture he's invoking...

Yes, Comparative Literature is indeed shortened to C.Lit. It is also instructing you to hum Russ..
Another part of The Internet visited me recently, namely

I think that's it for now.

Sep. 16th, 2008 11:26 amSorry I've been completely lax with my LJ readings; we went out for Sara's birthday last night and I was in Indiana over the weekend, sans internet.
I'll try to catch up, a little bit, over the next 24 hours.
Anyway, here's the latest benjamin-as-Internet-Monkey-King art, this time by the lovely

May. 10th, 2006 11:03 amAs though H.G. Wells weren't brilliant enough for predicting/advocating things like feminism and air conditioning and portable television sets and video recordings, et cetera, all in the 19th century, check this shit out.
I'm reading his book The Conquest of Time (1940) {EDIT: A Non-Fiction Book} right now, and dig this passage:
He can contrive urban and suburban roads that will carry him at his ease to air-port, sea-port, or wherever he wants to go...before very long he will be able to summon everything there is to be seen, every machine, every show, every living thing, every masterpiece and movement, in its utmost vitality and in any detail, to his study table; he can hear all the music in the world, and, if he wants to do so, all life's edifying discords. All this he will will be able to do whenever he chooses to do so as a species. For all this we have chapter and verse. The experiments have been made; the samples pass muster...these are man's present possibilities; and without haste and without delay he can complete his material conquest. He will soon be able to talk to anyone anywhere , and laugh at the tides and seasons that once chased his hunted heart-beats round the year.
Am I wrong, or did this Brilliant Bastard just predict suburban sprawl and highways, a vague concept of the cell phone, AND THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET?!
Why don't we have a fucking HERBERT GEORGE WELLS day every year?
