Eventful day yesterday... I'd tell you about it, but I ran up enough photos to turn the day's events into a Scary-Crayon piece, so hopefully I'll have that written up in time for next week. But after that I had an interview of sorts at one of the U.S. PIRG offices, which went well enough, but unfortunately the hours of that office don't mesh too well with the public transportation schedule (hours are like 2PM-10PM; around here, buses stop running around 7PM). The guy who ran the office seemed to like me, though -- really nice guy; fellow Yale grad, too -- so he gave me the number of another office in D.C. with more viable hours. That could work, but I've got an interview for a part-time job at Books A Million on Wed, so I think I'll see how that goes fist. These last few days have been pretty exhausting, so I'll use tomorrow for downtime and to work on the next SC article (which I'll hopefully get up sometime later today; if not then, I'll shoot for Wednesday). It should be a fun one, so stay tuned...

And I've still got two slots left for the FIVE QUESTIONS GAME -- so far, Brent and De are confirmed players, and I think Sam's in too. So if you wanna play, leave a comment! Once I've got all of the players, I'll write up the questions and send 'em out. 🙂

Still need to blog about Angel, too... but not tonight. Ja for now!

Angel's still on the list of future blog topics, but for tonight's post I've answered Estella's five questions! Some other questions have also been answered...so I think I'm all caught up now on that front. Alrighty, HERE WE GO! (more...)

A Crayon Haiku #12 is up. w00t.

Wanna know how my day was? Pretty crappy -- one of those "damnit I have no faith in humanity so why don't I just hang myself before things get worse?" days. People consistently and almost unanimously disappoint me with their views whenever the "race" issue comes up. On the one hand, I know it's a really complicated issue and sadly most people aren't prepared or willing to really think it through, and then on the other hand it's so bloody simple that you can't help but be discouraged when they fail to arrive at "acceptable" conclusions. Or they claim to have arrived at a conclusion that I could get behind and then totally negate it with their diction. Argh.

NOBODY TOUCH THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH. IT'S MINE! I'm totally turning that one into a short story. What paragraph, you ask? Clearly not the one above. You must mean the one I cut out of paranoia! Ho ho ho! Well, it will make a good story.

And yes, if you can't tell, I'm a little drunk. Next time, Angel! Or maybe Estella's questions. Y'know, whenever. Meh.

I'd planned on blogging about the series finale of "Angel" in tonight's post, but that'll have to wait until next time. Also, I owe Estella five answers to her five questions, a la the ones here. While I'm at it, I'll dig up that question Dee asked a while ago, and maybe answer MF's too, though MF seems to be long gone. WHERE ARE YOU, MF? ;_; (more...)

For today's update, Splinter and Mummato explore the mysteries of Whitehall pasteurized processed sandwich slices. And for the Buffy fans out there, the cheese guy from "Restless" also makes a screencapped appearance. Enjoy! (more...)
