Raster Rasta











Rastrum tatas. Back again in the abyss so soon? We're very glad to see you, as always. Falling by not half on a diet of couch and cathode ray, and not even the fullness to stop our wondering, wandering hearts, nay minds, in laps that never quite make the homestretch or even the turn for it; the furlongs, be glad enough for them, and the greens and blues. In a gnats eye. An idiomatic "unit" of distance; it's common to hear that something is "as small as a gnat's eye." In fact, the eyes of typical gnats tend to have diameters similar in size to a hair's breadth: roughly 100-150 micrometers (0.10-0.15 millimeters). Now is the time when we breakdance. Sacha Not Barren Cohen and Patrick Buchanan are my favorite couple. Linkit!
