I've been meaning to update this for a while, but for some reason never get around to it. So I thought I'd post about some things that have irritated me recently just to prove I'm not dead.
Attention Women: When a guy has struck up a conversation with you in a bar, the polite thing to do is to mention your boyfriend within the first 5 sentences. This gives us the opportunity to click our heels and do an about-face, and lets us both go back about our nights as if nothing happened. DO NOT wait until we've been talking to you for the better part of an hour to let this little detail slip out.
Attention MySpace: If you're going to go through the trouble of sending me notifications by email, just tell me the substance of the notification IN THE EMAIL. Or at least tell me which of my so called "friends" it concerns, preferably in the subject line. That way, I can tell from the email itself whether or not I care without being forced to log in to your overly cluttered, poorly designed, and spambot infested website. I'm just as, if not more, adept with the "delete" key as anyone, so I don't mind receiving extra email, but this "one of your friends has a birthday this week" nonsense has got to stop.
Attention Bethesda Software: Your latest Elder Scrolls game, "Oblivion" is entirely too addicting and time consuming. But for your creation of an awesome game into which a person can easily sink 700 hours without noticing, I would not be all but assured my failure from law school this semester. You will be receiving a bill for the balance of my wasted student loans shortly.
That is all.
/I'm not really in any danger of failing out of law school. But I'm not in danger of getting any work done either.
