A couple weeks ago I was mincing garlic at my kitchen table when all of a sudden this giant black insect with wings came at me, prompting me to scream and start swinging my 7” santoku knife like a madwoman. Anybody who happened to be watching that little spectacle from across the street must think I’m crazy, as they couldn’t possibly have gotten a visual on my 1/4” target. Anyway, the bug promptly disappeared and I bought a giant can of Raid in case it came back, but that was a waste- I didn’t see it again.

… Until tonight. I was locking my door after Bill left and this ladybug landed on my arm.

A fucking ladybug.

“What if we pick a date, say: Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 9:00 PM (Daylight Savings Time). We all stand out in front of our homes and Apartments, holding a Flashlight (with a good strong light), aiming upward - in protest of everything Obama stands …for. Hopefully the light would be seen in outer space. I think that somehow we need to Stand Up together so that there can be no question as to what America actually stands for. (It sure as hell isn’t Socialism, Marxism or Communism.) See if MSM can ignore that.”

- Tea-Partier, on this facebook group’s page.

… “Hopefully the light can be seen in outer space”??? There are what, like a couple hundred thousand of you guys, spread across a couple hundred square miles? Maybe if you knew something about diffraction- or, you know, exactly how far away SPACE is- you wouldn’t sound so stupid.

Also, the “MSM” she is talking about is “mainstream media”… Because there isn’t already a 24-hour Tea Party network or anything like that.

1 broken razor knife, 1 cut finger, and 1 mysterious extra screw later… There is 4 GB of RAM in my new lab computer, a Mac mini.

One thing I hate about Apple: their shit is designed to thwart any and all tinkering. The sole purpose of this is obviously so that they can charge $824,234,100 for a simple upgrade that costs less than $100 if you do it yourself. Putting RAM into a PC is as simple as snapping a card into place, but with this piece of shit you have to either risk damaging your computer AND physically injuring yourself… Or pay some “genius” to do it for you.

I should have just smashed that shit open with a hammer and stuck it in a cardboard box afterwards.

This is what I do

I make boys dinner, then I spill red wine all over their homework… Which is, of course, due tomorrow. FML.

So this is why no one talks to me

My iPod is always on when I’m out because I do not want to be approached. I am out in the world to go from point A to point B in the easiest way possible. If I make myself unapproachable, I’m less likely to be catcalled or harassed, or at least less likely to hear it. I like to pretend that my body and the way I dress are not constantly up for discussion and commentary when I enter the public sphere.

An iPod usually makes a great “fuck off, kthx” signal. But in the rare circumstance where somebody passing on the street is trying to tell me that my shoe is untied and I fall down before having the chance to yank out an earbud and say “What?”… I have to wonder whether there is a better way.

“What a Wonderful World” - Sam Cooke, from Theme Time Radio Hour Season 1

I stumbled upon the entire archive of Theme Time Radio Hour episodes, seasons 1-3, online and have been listening to them for about a week straight. I have learned more random facts about various “themes” than I know what to do with.

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:48:01 -0400

In Disque hall, waiting for TA orientation to start. I am on campus approximately 1 hour early because I have no internet access at my apartment currently… Long story short, Verizon screwed up, and now I am behind on everything.

The degree to which I am unable to function without a working internet connection is astonishing, really. I’ve been in a panic about what bills I’m supposed to pay, what papers I’m supposed to read, and even where I’m supposed to be at any given time. Hopefully the situation gets straightened out soon and I can eventually chalk this up to being a “character-building exercise” or other such nonsense.

The grad student equivalent of freshman orientation is a strange affair, indeed

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:50:28 -0400

The last activity on the schedule is a wine-and-cheese reception. At undergrad freshman orientation, the closest thing to that was smuggling 40s into a temporary dorm room.

If this isn’t a sign that I am getting old, I don’t know what is.

Animal rescue group pledges donations for tackling Michael Vick

Animal rescue group pledges donations for tackling Michael Vick:

kaytee:

Despite the Philadelphia Eagles pledge to fight animal cruelty and Michael Vick’s recent public appearance, a Philadelphia rescue group is looking for a few good tackles of convicted Bad Newz Kennels conspirator.

Bill Smith, CEO and founder of Main Line Animal Rescue, told ESPN that he is taking out an advertisement in Washington Post and in other newspapers in cities where Vick will play. The ad, a copy of which has been sent to ESPN, the Eagles and various national animal rights groups, reads:

“Attention Football Fans. Philadelphia is playing Washington on October 26th.

“Every time Michael Vick is tackled during the game, Main Line Animal Rescue will donate 5 bags of dog food to your local animal shelter.”

I love this.

1 sack of Vick = 5 sacks of puppy chow. The opposing players better work this into their trash talking.

Go Redskins.
