I don't know if I'll ever tend to this thing regularly again. I like to think that I will, but, who knows. Facebook is obviously the new thing. I find it mildly frustrating in that the opportunity to get a real glimpse into other people's heads is so limited, but the upside is that there are so many heads popping up on your status feed. I guess ( Read more... )

Because my stress levels are getting out of control and because I don't have a therapist, I guess it's about time that I resurrect this thing. Where to begin ( Read more... )

I have no idea who, if anyone, reads this anymore. I have grand aspirations to post again someday but I am so goddamn swamped with school and work. Those people who work and go to school full-time and claim that they're not on drugs--they're biologically wired with something that I'm not at, well, given times. I wish I could channel the energy I ( Read more... )

Dear California,

You're broke, right? So what's with the fancy-schmancy death party going on today?

Love,

Someone ignorant of, but curious about, the particulars of your economic situation--and who could do without hearing the words "Michael Jackson" or "king of pop" ever again in her lifetime

Last session of WGS class today, and it got cut an hour short due to abysmal weather! We received our (merciful) take-home final today. It's a basic four essay assignment wherein we're to discuss race and gender stratification, etc. The first question is actually so convoluted that I can't fully explain it here. From there, we're to expound ( Read more... )

Old news, but WTF?

There is one shining star within the retail sector that is worth a look: Hot Topic Inc. (nasdaq: HOTT - news - people ). The shares have been in a stellar uptrend during the past 52 weeks, gaining more than 107% as they easily outpace their peers in the RTH.

I stumbled upon that after hearing about this--which is more aligned ( Read more... )

My next assignment for WGS is interactive. I have to share several rape/sexual violence statistics with family and friends--both male and female--and find out if they have any ideas about them: the prevalence of these crimes; if they accept the statistics as accurate; and if, in any cases, the acts are justified and/or the victim is to blame ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm taking a class that makes bleeding heart liberal communist me look an oppressor. It's an intro to rape--I mean, women and gender studies class, and am I ever ready for it to be over ( Read more... )

How about this bullshit? The article treats it a little more delicately than Fouts did himself in an interview I just heard about five minutes ago where he straight-up said that he hand picks political appointees for employment and will hand-pick them for termination if they don't follow the buy 'Merican rule. This will extend to teachers, as ( Read more... )
