Deadlines are aaalmost over, they keep growing because they are evil. They were supposed to be more or less done already, now they're reaching toward Wednesday and Thursday. Where shall we find good news?

Oh, I know: what if the news media finally decided to wise up about an old friend of ours? (by way of Game Girl Advance) I think one of my ( Read more... )

At last, I have found him! The perfect enemy! (or, y'know, as "perfect" as I can get with the margin of error considered) Clearly, this vile nemesis stands above the rest by over 25 points, and most importantly, he has a beard. Okay, so I have a beard too, but this is an evil beard with all the pointiness of a mirror universe inhabitant. He is like ( Read more... )

I've decided to stop posting nonsense, and unimportant daily events, in this blog. I'm turning it into a serious attempt to sort through the day's news stories and put seemingly unassailable claims to the test. Stories will be dissected and ultimately thrown away in pieces as they fall, one by one, victims of my scrutiny ( Read more... )

Oh, check for $1715 net pay this Friday, you are a little ray of sunshine on my day.

BRAIN-POWERS FOR THE WIN

Instead of making money this Monday afternoon and Tuesday, CRLT (whoever they are) would like me to spend that time at orientation. This is mandatory, no exceptions.

Wow. Such good news tonight, discovered while watching Jon Stewart just three hours ago. Lieberman has lost the Democratic primary for his old Senate seat, though he will run as an independent. I, for one, see this as a herald of his imminent departure. Lieberman: you suck, your stance on media sucks, and your sycophantic support of the Iraq war ( Read more... )

I am hoping to have a metric ton of photos available to me in the next week or two, but for now, I can send a few digital photos that were taken by a relative (probably my parents). If anyone wants to see one in the next day or two, and can't wait, I'd be happy to send them. Unfortunately, I don't quite remember anyone's e-mail, and don't know what ( Read more... )

Ohmygod, so this kid got the new Nintendo system, and he was all like, "Wiiiiiiiiii ( Read more... )
