Well, I've decided to whore out the integrity of my journal, like the professional journalism of so many a FOX News correspondent. The difference is I don't make my readers (oh, okay, reader. When I pay her.) engage in
lewd phone sex (you know, compared to...non-lewd... phone sex). Here's some of those "quizzes" you crazy kids like to take.
I'm Tim!
Which Robert & Tim Show Character Are You? Threat rating: High. The Bush administration is
concerned that it may not get a second term.
Therefore, we are going to change the rules so
that each Democrat vote only counts as 0.2
votes because Democrat is a shorter word than
Republican

article about it. The best part had to be when Tucker Carlson kept pushing him to be funny and trying to distract him from talking about his disdain for their show and Stewart ended up insulting his bowtie and calling him a dick. It was beautiful. I shed a tear of joy. It was great to see Jon Stewart taking things very seriously, and so sad to see him get shut down by party hacks like Carlson and Begala, especially on a shouting-heads show like Crossfire. Yes, I realize the irony of me calling someone a party hack, but I still like to consider myself a healthy mix of policy wonk and party hack, thanks. I'm like a mix of Hannity and Colmes, only I'm not a flaming jackass and I actually say something. Anyways.
Finished my goddamn insect project today, was an interesting thing. I was so disappointed when the prof effectively handed everyone an A after our small presentations... When I put hours of effort (all the night before/morning of, except for the actual hunting and photo taking, of course...) into something, I hope people would at least read it, but you'd think I'd have learned by now. What was even more funny was I had prepared for the grasshopper anatomy quiz and when I walked in it says on the board "Grasshopper quiz next week, will review grasshopper after projects today". Bloody hell. Everyone seemed amazed with my in-depth knowledge of grasshoppers when she asked us questions about them, which I thought was hilarious because it represented a total of like 45 minutes researching online. Apparently that's about 10-fold more than the average student. Did you know grasshoppers's blood is non-colored with a slight greenish tint, due to the fact that it does not transfer oxygen like in many animals? Oxygen is brought in only through spiracles that attach to tracheae. The grasshopper can contract or release muscles around the spiracles (holes along it's sides...) to allow air in or not, and the spiracles have small hairs within them to filter the air as it enters the trachea. See, this is what studying does, fills your head with useless information. Don't get me started on ocelli.
