Blah days
This is not my week, I guess.
On Monday, I was unable to go to work because the van never came to get me. Apparently, the person at the Vocational Rehab that had been overseeing my job training at Walgreens neglected to inform the driver that I was finished with the program, and Monday is usually a Walgreens day for me. No matter, I've gotten that fixed now. On Tuesday, I cut a large chunk out of my thumb while trying to cut yarn off the spool with a pair of scissors (they had run out of knives). Today I learned that the transportation would be cut off for good May 29th. Apparently, the state told all of the Vocational Rehabilitation departments to lose thier vans, and ours looses their last one on that date. Fortunately for me, I only have a week left to go in the overall program after that date, so it may not be so bad for me, but it will essentially cut their workshop workforce in half and cast a lot of people currently looking for jobs back out on the streets. Not that they particularly need a whole bunch of people working in their workshop; we've been running out of things to do lately, as the usual shipments of goods to work with have been coming in reduced numbers. Hopefully, I will be getting a call from Walgreens before or around the 29th next month, so the whole point won't matter to me anyways.
In other news, I have recently begun reading JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It is...bizarre, but I like it. Right now, it is only fan-translated, so it seems a little spotty in places; it is better toward the beginning and tends to get worse as it goes on. I love the character design; these are some of the best in all of anime. The Joestars are always impeccably dressed to the point of being overdone. Also, forget what you know: Dio Brando is the best villain ever. Name the most dastardly villain you can think of and then read the manga. I gurantee you that you'll change your mind faster than it takes a steamroller to fall on your head. WRYYYYYY!
I also wrote another article, this one as my official review of DragonBall: Evolution. It seems to be taken in high regard, so far; probably the best response out of all the reviews I have written. Please go check it out!

One of the great flaws of computer generated random numbers is that they are not truly random; being generated as they are by predictable mathematical formulas. Well, someone, I beleive it was
j_wolfman , showed me a website that claims to generate numbers that are 100% random. It does this by using atmospheric noise to create numbers.
These days, there is a veritable parade of box office dissapointments, and big budget anything usually fails to make up the monetary funds that where put into making it. But what where the biggest movie failures of all time?
And here's an article that tries your sensibilities: A look at the origins of the middle finger as an offensive gesture.
