So, like, I'm all at work and shit, you know, doing the bizness which has been so deliriously entrusted to me. But naturally, I'm doing other shazzness at the moment. So I'm reading about some baseball trades that happened years ago and edifying myself vis-a-vis their impact today. And don't you know if one article referred to a trade I'm sure you' ( Read more... )

Well, I was perusing Netflix, like you do, and I realized that a movie that I've wanted to see, Fay Grim, is out on DVD. I excitedly put it on my queue. As I basked in the glory of the movies I'll soon have coming by seeing the shining faces of Almodovar, Altman, Kurosawa and others, I thought about Fay Grim. Ok, I thought. Parker Posey's the main ( Read more... )

Theres a ton of really bizarre stuff that we just accept and take for granted. Not that I'm saying we shouldn't, but there are a number of things in this world that, if you try to think about them at least partially objectively, you will be freaked out ( Read more... )

That's the sound my computer makes. In case you didn't know, the computer I use is one of those huge UNIVAC ones from the 50's that uses punch-cards and makes funny noises like in an old sci-fi movie. I have to pull huge levers just to bring up Microsoft Word, and I'm freezing, since the whole kit-n-caboodle needs to be in a huge air conditioned ( Read more... )

So, I'm back at work. This gernel of sorts will invariably be a great way to waste my time at my desk (which, sadly, is not at a cubicle this year. I'm relegated to the back with a smaller desk. Apparently, "Regional Manager" is a more important position than "Copy Writer and Quality Control"). Here are some musings from Day One ( Read more... )

So, I'm home for the summer. To work and to make money for apartment-style living for next year. Hopefully, it shall but an interesting amalgam of relaxation, beautifual weather and terrain, and boredom/frustration. I already want a cigarette so fucking bad, I looked on the bed where all the coats were being kept to find my grandmother's purse to ( Read more... )

I guess I'm incapable of quoting song lyrics that are heartfelt and express my mood and sentiments without making a joke about it. But that's ok. I've been reflecting on the past year (as I am now finished with my third year of university-style educational business-type deals). Lot's of stuff happened this year that were great, and it was, on the ( Read more... )

I'm writing an extensive paper on the cable news representations of female politicians. I wanted some figures for the number of female members of Congress. 16.3%. That's atrocious, below the worldwide parliamentary average of 17%, and below a number of "undeveloped" nations like Afghanistan (!).  So that got me pissed. But while I was on Wikipedia ( Read more... )

So, I'm about to embark on a pretty sweet weekend. Just needs to be said. If I read this and am disappointed by how it turned out, I'll be pretty disappointed. But that's cool. The rockingest, rollingest, most groovalicious band at Roggies (Isthmus and Friends; sorry Lisp), then Marathon party at Englewooooooooood! (I think that's how you have to ( Read more... )
