Send me some! But not spam. I don't need more spam. Thanks.

I'm bloody tired
and I don't want to work at
the bookstore tonight

But I have to anyway. 🙁

Look for that one on SC sometime, with a second stanza and an illustration! Damn, it's been a while since we've had a Crayon Haiku... or a number of other section pieces, for that matter. THIS MUST CHANGE. And it will... soon.

By the way, did I mention that I made a livejournal the other week? You're better off just reading this blog -- I mainly made the LJ so I could post to customers_suck, a community of disgruntled retail workers with stories to tell, and most of what I say in the LJ gets said here first -- but I did join on the holiday wishlist meme going around over there. You don't have to get me anything -- nobody has to get me anything! -- but feel free to pop over and read that. If you want.

And now I have to sign off here so I can catch the bus back to Laurel so I can do the bookstore thing from 6 to 11:30. Hope I don't get insulted/sexually harrassed on the way there! 🙁

I think it's raining, too.

This morning, while idly looking for references to the old Dragon Ball page I used to maintain back in high school, I came across this. Funny thing? I still visit this IRC channel fairly regularly. It's on a different server and we stopped talking about Dragon Ball years ago, but it's interesting that a good number of the folks profiled on here still hang out in #db, primarily among the new school. Back when this page was made, I'd only met Brian and Bo in person -- both are from Maryland, and TK and I ran the DB page together and shared the hosting costs -- but since those days I've met a handful of them. I even caught up with Sherwin and Jesus this past summer at Otakon. (more...)

I really like today's Sinfest. Monique rules!

So. I just swung by The Dawn Patrol, where, in "School of Crock", Dawn disses the daily newspaper of my alma mater. What's up with that, Dawn?!? 😉 But on a more serious note, Dawn links to a recent Kevin McCullough blog entry concerning the Yale Daily News article that prompted her remark. Now, I will note that this is the first McCullough piece I've read in which he says anything that actually makes sense, but the vast majority of it comes across as him just ranting incoherently in moronic fashion. Case in point -- the first thing Kevin writes is that "[t]he dunderbrain who wrote this op-ed for the Yale Daily News was too much of a coward to even sign their [sic] name to it." But "The News' View" is clearly printed at the top of the piece, which marks this article as being the collective opinion of the newspaper staff. Traditionally, these articles don't have individual bylines. So who's the dunderbrain now, Kevin?

<bitterness and frustration>I can't believe that fucker has his own radio show while I'm working at a fucking bookstore.</bitterness and frustration>

Another thing -- in another recent post, regarding Planned Parenthood's position towards euthanasia for born-but-unwanted babies, Dawn writes, "But the organization's external links make its position clear..." However, linking to a page in no way necessarily implies or indicates agreement with the content of that page. Note that I've linked to entries by both Dawn and Kevin in this piece. But do I agree with them? Nope. 😛

Oh, and if you're interested in reading my batshit insane NaNoWriMo project, just drop me a line... if I know you, I'll gladly send it ovah. 🙂

Ja!
