So thank sweet merciful god that George Washington wasn't the best school I got into...They are matriculating SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY STUDENTS into their freshman class. That's just full time. That's roughly the size of all 3 years of full time JD students at UCLA. Yale has 200 a year, Harvard is gigantic at 500/year. So, needless to say, their ( Read more... )

So I'm feeling intellectually under-gunned, again. I can barely spell "John Updike", for example, and my subscription to the New York Review of Books is making me feel even more inadequate. Does anyone care to recommend a list of the top 100 books everyone should read? I'm looking for a decently pretentious one, it should include anna akhmatova, ( Read more... )

Well, after from walking to the Bus Stop in brussels that took me to a metro station that took me to Arts-Loi (that's in french--its' called Kunst-Wet in flemish, tee hee!

Hey everybody.
Check out buyblue.org, your guide to which corporations donate to democrats and which to republicans. I just found out Amazon gives six figures to republicans a year. So, no more Amazon for me. I recommend using Powell's online service instead.

My friend got called 30 minutes ago by her brother to spin for an Avalon afterparty, which means she won't really be sleeping tonight. But she'll get some $$ for it. it's so strange that she'd be willing to do that for her DJness, whereas if most people got called by work to come in at 3 AM, even for a couple of hundred bucks, they'd tell their ( Read more... )

"What the FBI turned up was merely very solid evidence that the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., had constant sexual relations with a long list of women. Close associates occasionally warned him that the movement might be hurt if stories got out. King once said, 'Fucking's a form of anxiety reduction.'"

Tomorrow, I will be retrieving the following volumes from the library. I'm pretty sure (and certainly hope that) none of you give a crap, but this is more for posterity's sake, so kiss my posterior ( Read more... )
