\nI
\ndon’t watch it often enough, that zany MTV program–Boiling
\nPoints<\/a><\/i>–in which unsuspecting victims are taunted (in front of a hidden
\ncamera) by actors whose idiocy is meant to induce fits of rage–spitting,
\nfuming, cursing rage.  If the victim clings to
\nrationality\/patience\/kindness long enough, s.he wins a hundred bucks.  I
\nthink that’s how it goes, anyway.  Every once in a while I imagine I must
\nbe on the program, like somebody’s trying to frustrate me and taping the whole
\nsequence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On TV lots of folks lose at the game; they rupture temperamentally, letting
\nloose the accumulating vitriol, venting.  I like to believe I could win the
\nprize money, that I could sweat through twenty minutes of somebody’s bull-crap
\nantics instigating me to fury.  It’s that little hopeful half-lie I tell
\nmyself when I’m particularly short-tempered.  Sometimes I’m great at
\nrefraining, breathing deeply, etc.; other times, less so.<\/p>\n

Take today for example.  I’ll leave the personal\/family factors aside
\n(they’re just small pinches, fast-fading stings–all for which I’m thinking of
\nadopting
\n
\nM.’s twist-tie technique<\/a> or
\n
\nthis<\/a> and<\/i>
\n
\nthis<\/a>).  A whole bunch of day-ruining crap-o-la starts caking up. 
\nNow I’m going to have to switch into a certain necessary fuzziness–a cryptic
\ngloss to cover the trails of this certain set of irritations.  <\/p>\n

One has to do with systematically broken links.  Um…links matter?
\nNo. two: content locking.  Here, in MD5 format, is what I think about
\nlocking: 52FB604B42D39836C4A2179A73CF2A82.  And that’s putting it nicely. 
\nUnconditional locking (imho)=distrust.
\nThree: Customer service phone trees with thousand<\/strike>
\nten-thousand-forked branches.  And! at the end of the last branch. 
\nLeave a message. 
\n4.1. A "solution": When dealing with locked content, delete it, then add a new
\nmodule and paste in the edited contents.<\/p>\n

Me?  I’m trying to keep it together, practice my own little satyagraha
\nof the everyday variety.  Voice inside is telling I probably should lay off
\nwith this before I wind up getting reprimanded for being vaguely critical. 
\nIt’s just that I’m almost certain somebody’s going to reveal the whole gag any
\ntime now, pull out a hundred bucks, and make my day bright again.  Any
\nslow-passing minute.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I should go back to writing entries on genre theory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
