George! We're Trying to Have a Civilization Here!

Aug 22, 2005 21:28

I'm currently reading Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time, a book about how Daylight Saving (not "Daylight Savings"--something I've already learned!!!) is retarded. My favorite quote so far comes from one of the first attempts to pass a Daylight Saving law in 1916 in England, the British Royal Astronomer tacked on another ( Read more... )

So that's why you went to school in Indiana!

Anyway, I wish my parents would have named me Karl, after my great-grandfather. But not because that was his name, if you know what I mean (and it's related to why I also hate Paris, even if my hero lived there before he fled to London. . .)

But now Indiana has fallen from God's time!!!

Yes, "God's time" was an argument against Daylight Saving in 1916.

That argument only bolsters my support for DST. A-boo-ya!

Indiana starts daylight saving time this year. I can go back to hating that prospect now that I know it is, indeed, not going to save the world afterall.

"In other news, I didn't get a rejection letter today! Things are lookin' up!!!"

Yea I actually hid your rejection letter from you so you wouldn't find out and feel bad.

P.S.
Keep it a secret, don't tell yourself that I actually have kept the rejection letter from you.

I'll keep it a secret.

...why did someone post a blank anonymous comment on my LiveJournal.

Odd...

1) Correy's a woman.

2) Correy and I used to butt heads in shipment, mostly because we had different ideas on how it should be done. But now that that's cleared up (and it's not an election year), water under the bridge.

3) I'm drawing a blank on elephant man Froggy Sodomites....little help?

4) No one should be named Paris. Not even the damnable city.
