  Whee! So...I'm making progess with MT and life is good. (Now all I have to do is wait for my friend to come online and help me out with a few snags along the way...) I have urlLink Authority Zero 's "One More Minute" stuck in my head as I contemplate how wonderful urlLink JASSM s are (thanks urlLink John & Paul ! ), the urlLink stupidity of ELF members (Hey guys? Here's a newsflash for ya. Your message isn't going to be taken seriously if you run around wrecking shit; all you're successfully doing is making die-hard, long-time enemies to your cause by your stupidity...), the sheer beauty of having an urlLink ex-KGB guy praise Bush , and wondering why it has taken professors so long to urlLink bitch about comps with internet access in the classroom .
On that last one: I'm ambivalent to having comps in the classroom. On the one hand, it makes taking notes much easier as I tend to think better with my hands on a keyboard and I don't have to decipher my horrible handwriting at the end of the day to try to make sense of what I was attemping to copy from the board. (I tend to write in shorthand half the time and messily so in trying to keep up with the professor. ) On the other hand, I can understand their frustration as I know I'm just as guilty as the next student for checking my bloglist for new posts (and yes, email too) and ignoring the lesson when I get bored.
Ah well, I guess it's a necessary evil. (You can read urlLink other opinions here ; the ones that made it into the editorials. ) However, the one thing I can't stand is cell phones goin off in the middle of class. Hey people, that's what the "silent" or "vibrate" function on your fucking phone is for. (What? Your cell phone is old/outdated and you don't have those options on it? Easy fix: TURN THE FUCKING THING OFF!!! Thanks. Shithead. ) It's really goddamn annoying to hear your standard Nokia ringer going off very loudly in the middle of a lecture. Also, who the fuck are you that you're getting calls in the middle of class? What, do your "peeps" not know that you go to school? And I don't give a shit WHO you are, you are NOT important enough to take the call in the middle of class and start having a grand old conversation!!
If someone's dying or in the hospital, maybe I can understand, but when you begin your converation with "Whuddup Son, where you at?? " we ALL know it's a call that can wait.
Shithead.
Moving right along, I found a link to the urlLink WebElements Periodic Table on urlLink No Watermelons ' blog. Interesting! I happen to like urlLink Rhenium ; some of you will understand why . To the rest of you...Well, if you don't get it, it's ok. ; )    Also, to attest to the fact that our female soldiers can beat the shit outta anyone who gets in their way...Here's one of their past-times: urlLink Boxing ! (via urlLink MyWay ) Hell yeah! Best part of the article (or at least the line I like the best! ): "We're friends - just not when we're in there," Dull, 26, of Battle Creek, Mich., said as she chewed on her mouth guard. HELL YEAH! I like it!! Much love and respect to them all! Yeah you're gonna kick some serious shit!! :D    Hrrrm... urlLink Ken got me addicted to urlLink Craigslist Missed Connections -- Hella funny shit goes on there, but after reading some of them, I just get sad; makes me wish they find who they're looking for!
:/ Call me a hopeless romantic, I don't care. LOL! I feel bad for some of them because, man, I remember bein shy and never getting the courage to say "hey" to people I found interesting. Ah well. Good luck to them all. I'd say something about the stupidity of the RIAA and urlLink why its website keeps getting hacked , but Vinny's already urlLink done a urlLink good job of it so go there and read.
(Also, I know you've signed urlLink the pledge , right? RIGHT?? IF you haven't, I'm upset at you. Grrr. )    Well, I love my digicam, but now I'm itchin for prints.
LOL!
I know with my camera I can get some pretty awesome-quality pictures from my printer....but...There's just something about having a nice 8x10 print in your hand and the negatives labeled and stowed away nicely and neatly in your photo-binder. Ah well, that'll teach me to rely solely on the digicam! (Note to self: Do NOT forget to bring normal camera with you when you leave the house.
)    I need more books to read. Any suggestions? I just finished urlLink The Reckless Mind: Intellectuals in Politics ...Pretty good, although I have the feeling that I would have understood it more if I had read The Captive Mind before it.
Ah well.
My next two books on tap are urlLink Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism from Inside the Bush White House and urlLink Bush at War (as soon as Nick lets me borrow them, lol! I've been wanting to read them for awhile and it seemed silly to buy them for myself when I could just easily borrow them...) So, like I said, any suggestions after those two?
Lots of fellow bloggers are redoing their blogs and/or getting new ones...I know I'm late on some of them but hey, better late than never, right? Here you go: urlLink Dave and urlLink The Sound and Fury upgraded to MT Moto-Blog turned into urlLink Ride with a spiffy new layout Andrea walked away from her urlLink Headquarters in order to urlLink Dream urlLink Nick Denton and urlLink Elizabeth Spiers combined forces and formed urlLink Gawker urlLink Dan has a new urlLink blog urlLink Leonard came back to play! urlLink Alan Daniels is also in the process of upgrading to MT    I think that's it for now...I've made my favorite quote a permanent part of my site now.
Hell yeah!
*dances around* Time to sleep.
:D
