Kablammo!

Hooray, blogger ate the entry I just tried to post. ‘An error has occured‘ my ass. Maybe I’ll repost it in the morning, and maybe not. It wasn’t that long, but it was heartfelt, topical, and relevant; and it quoted Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Hey all. I wish I weren’t such a lazy lazy lazy lazy fuck. MEs, you know what I mean. Not that you’re surprised, most likely. I did move appreciably today, inasmuch as it was necessary to take my EID370 midterm, and I guess it’s now time for me to rearrange my squalor a little bit, so I can fit in my bed and proceed to sleep for a frankly implausible length of time. See you in Wei’s class tomorrow, I hope.

In other news, my useless review of Muse’s Absolution is finally complete.

I was right, waking up on time was the hardest part. The second hardest part was copying the “I promise not to cheat yadda yadda” paragraph by hand. Standardized tests can suck it, big time.

Looks like it’s time for that time of year again: Aasta Koosolek time. What manner of hilarity or hi-jink will ensue this time? Only time will tell.

Congratulations, Yankees, you’re a bunch of bitches. Now go and make New York proud. Again. Like I know Steinbrenner is paying you good money to do.

In what will surely have been the hardest part of the GREs, I’m awake and ready to go on time! Wheo! Go me!

So there I was, seriously considering going up to my professor and officially apologizing for submitting quite possibly the worst essay I’ve ever written, when I get the essay back only to discover that his comments on it read, in part: “A fine essay… delightful and informative — quite readable.” I don’t know if I’m more disappointed in my professor for liking this essay, my school for having so many people incapable of articulating an argument that anything looks good in comparison, or my self for writing such a shitty paper in the first place.

Maybe I should be happy that I did well, but I can’t shake the suspicion that I’m eventually going to collect on a huge installment of atrociously bad luck that precisely cancels out all the good things like this that have happened or will happen in my life.

In other news, I now go to bed with a really fucking annoying headache, and with $115 worth of standardized tests awaiting me in the morning. May the Yankees win or lose tonight; either way, I’ll be sure to find something to complain about.

Grab-bag of hilarity!

“Photo for illustration purposes only. Dog pictured is named Rumsfeld, not Adolf.“

Gooooo Miranda!

Gooooo sox!

Gooooo Calvin Trillin!

Gooooo moment of silence.

Gooooo wolves!

Gooooo titties!

1924 – “My Flag” was changed to “the Flag of the United States of America” out of fear that immigrants would salute their native flags. ROFL.

Ugh, I should have gooooone to more classes this week. Good thing I’m an asshole.

Hey, anybody remember the ALCS game last saturday? I found a quote from this story quite poignant:

That replay of the Pedro Martinez-Don Zimmer affair is on TV more than “Law and Order” reruns.

Cuz, like, you know, there’s a hell of a lot of Law & Order reruns on the teevee. Anyway, is major league baseball jealous of the California recall? Is there some kind of competition for ‘Most Absolutely Ludicrous News Story of October’ that I wasn’t aware of?

In other news, I’d have left a comment on Lukas’ blog about how much I enjoyed seeing the beautiful piece of bastardliness that he linked to, but as it turns out I’m far too lazy to jump through the hoops required to post comments there. So I’ll just post comments here, instead, I guess.

Yay! Throat’s fine, now the illness has transmogrified itself into a head cold. Fucking awesome, what a blast. I mean, I like the fact that my throat stopped hurting, especially since I ran out of lozenges today, but there’s really few things in life I enjoy less than an incessantly drippy nose.

Also yay: despite being an incompetent clod, I made somebody’s day a little bit brighter. If only the advice I gave myself were as helpful and well-intentioned… Ah well, such is life.

Bittorrent’s at it again — Kashmir is a fucking awesome band. Too bad they’re only available to be shipped to the European Union. Dammit! If only I had plans to go to the European Union in the near future, then maybe I’d be able to pick up a copy of Zitilites.

Yay! Sore throat time! w00t. Maybe a 45-minute shower would cure me, but I don’t know if I’m man enough to take on that challenge. We can’t all be such paragons of virtue.

I read an interesting essay on the web and what makes it work. Read it for yourself, it’s not long, but in the spirit of the essay, I’m now going to link to this guy whose blog I read occasionally. I disagree with him on just about everything, but I appreciate the effort he puts into his analysis, and that he sticks to his guns. Good for him, I says. Equal Time considerations make me feel like also linking to this blog and this one. Enjoy.

Whoa. I’ve got a few thing to say, but first things first. Those first things being that eating 9 servings of Fritos™ brand corn-based snack-type foodstuffs in one sitting is NOT a good idea.

Know what’s fun? Lending a professor a copy of Playboy. (For an article, duh.)

Know what’s not fun? Writing a paper you really don’t want to write on a topic that fills you with nothing but ennui.

Looks like the Yanks and Bosox will have split the first 2 games, barring some kind of wacky miracle. Things could be worse.
