This is the thing. That's how I saw it the first time and there was so much energy, the costumes everybody wore were great, both the shadow cast and the audience. There was so chaotic. People were throwing rice and condoms and there was water being sprayed and people held up newspapers. I had no idea what was going on but what people were yelling at the screen was so funny. I even dressed up even though I had never seen it before.

Then, on the way home, I told my girlfriend that I liked it, but I had no idea what happened. And she and her roommate decided to watch the whole movie again at 1am, this time without the shadow cast. And the movie by itself has a lot more awkward pauses, which is why it's so conducive towards people yelling out call outs.

I once read a fantastic analysis where it described the plot of Rocky Horror as a allegory for the decline of rock and roll into glam, rock, and decadence, whereas people yearn for the more straightforward days of 1950s rock and roll. And it actually predicted punk in a way. It is hard to find now that there is so much ai bullshit in search results but here is something similar.

I really dislike the name is the main thing.

I found a rainbows one from the 90s so I put it on because it was cool and retro and I love rainbows.

Magic Earth. Sometimes it crashes and gives confusing voice instructions. But it has traffic data and is therefore my daily driver.

It really sucks, but at least there are alternatives to venmo. I've heard that in Europe, you're require to have an app to show your Id or use the bank or some such.

That ain't no crime

 

So October is coming, and this is as good a time as any to switch to linux, but it is somewhat of an overwhelming task. I'm already used to desktop linux, but I am NOT good at migrating apps and settings and stuff. So I'll have some blindspots. I thought perhaps we could come up with some kind of collaborative outline for how to do it. Here are my ideas.

  • Make backups of all data.
  • Install linux as a dual boot / new machine.
  • Troubleshoot any hardware / software issues.
  • Make some lists on windows of apps
    -- Apps you absolutely need to have / replace
    -- Apps that would be nice to have / replace
    -- Apps that you don't need to migrate over.
  • Migrate user data, files, etc., to linux
  • Install apps on linux
  • For each app on the lists
    -- export settings and data from windows
    -- import settings and data into linux

At each step along the way, you can check things off the list.

Not everyone can switch to linux, but for those who want to, would this be a good procedure? What would you add to it?
