that in the hierarchy, in the pattern of reading them, that “Entertainment ” is now listed higher than Science and Technology at Cnn.com

Since we read from left to right, the “entertainment” section is now seemingly more important. Before, when it was ordered, it was near the bottom.

that’s ridiculous.

weekend before a regular session at Pacifica. Working on a couple papers due this time, and double checking what needs to be done otherwise.

This has been a long time coming. This is the last 3 day session, ever. I have a week long session the last few days in July. Then that’s it. No more classes. Dissertation time.

I can’t wait to not have to have 3 papers on different subjects due every three months.

that I can watch over and over and over and over and over again…

“My mistake was thinking black people get second chances” – Isaiah Washington

No, Mr. Washington, your mistake was thinking that you can get sympathy by claiming you are targeted because you’re black. Your mistake was slurring another person and then thinking that apologies would guarantee that you kept your job. Your mistake was in the first place being an idiot.

But I guess I’m just biased against stupid people.

now the media and the ads can stop. apparently the iphone is out now. look. it’s a phone. that does what your computer already does. it’s a way for you to be a self-absorbed hermit while being surrounded by people. Basically, all you’re missing is the cave. And the thinking.

hooray apple. Seriously, you guys should have stopped after Apple 2 GS. Or should have made an Apple i3Gs.

stupid i’s.

when will this lunacy stop!?

when occasions such as this would have resulted in a massive bonfire.

mmm…smores.

I’ll be back in bemidji from August 5 through the 13th. Prepare for pillaging ‘n such.

Sean Froyd: Bringing the Viking back since 1999.

for fall semester (and maybe spring semester too, if they have a class for me)…

Writing with a Thesis. Looks to be about the right level for Community college students, basic rhetoric, plus has the reading in there. That’s one thing I felt that the books used when I was a GA fell short on was the reading part, but I suppose that’s what I was paid the big bus(cough cough), so I could tie everything in together.

We’ll see how this book goes.

and in case you missed the first one, here’s an encore:

don’t know me very well, does they?

to do some laundry.

woo, for exciting!

*update 6 hours later*

no laundry got done because of the laundry machine hording. There are people, apparently, that go down to the laundry room with 6 loads at a time. There are 4 machines. You’d think, if they were polite, they’d either take two down at a time, or be right on time with getting everything done…but no.

No, these savages decide that the entire laundry room is effectively theirs for the evening, and will let their dirty clothes sit on top of machines that have long since stopped spinning, and in which time could have done another load in the dryer(washing time: 35 minutes, drying time: 45 minutes(yeah, I pay attention to stuff like that(I’m terrified of someone stealing my underwear(it’s nice underwear)))). But instead, they’ll let it sit there so they take much longer to get their laundry done.

I really really hate people.

I don’t agree with the banning of video games by governmental agencies, however, I also don’t agree with the claim that some of them are fine art.

Especially Manhunt 2.

I’ve had toilet stains that are more artistically sound than a game like that.

and she’ll stomp on your kittens!

my head is lighter and cooler now.

that college ranking systems reduce students to consumers for advertisers to exploit?

it’s not educationally sound?

eh, duhhhhhhhhhhh.
