edit Just watched an Occupy video from UC Davis. I am so furious.
HuffPo video. I will probably have to make a post about the Occupy movement later... it's wrong. Those students were just sitting in the Quad (a gathering area for students, not a road or anything), totally non-violent, and the cop pepper-sprayed them! What is worrisome if you ( Read more... )

Catfish!

I am glad a horrible man has been stopped... I remember watching the second plane crash into the tower live (I had arrived at my student job at LSU, and the TV had been turned on).

So I've been spending so much quality time with Craigslist, but I just now checked out the "best of Craigslist" (which is something users nominate).

I thought this one was pretty funny. Bitter Alum.

Any other amusing ones?

Here are my brief reviews of the books I've read since coming to Seattle. My tastes currently run towards science fiction, Japanese writers / books about Japan, fantasy, and kick-ass women. If you want me to expound upon any review, just ask.

While I'm on the subject... isn't this the coolest library ever? Looks like the mothership just beamed ( Read more... )
