I'm giving a final exam to my Comm 100 class right now and bored to tears. So like a responsible 26 year old (not 28 as someone in my class mentioned before the test began, she's failing anyway but that's just another reason) I google myself. I'm behind a podium, don't worry, it's safe ( Read more... )

I'm in Virginia beginning my glorious and splendiferous job at George Mason University. Some highlights ( Read more... )

Yes, it's been a while- but I blame UTNIF. It's hard to find time to update your LJ when you're running around teaching extemp and dorm dadding. But Jason, you say, when you're a dorm dad, you have nothing but time to sit around and do stuff! Not true friends- not true at all. Let's consider some of the distractions ( Read more... )

Alright, the wide wide world of Policy debate runs fairly quickly: our group is the awesome, we're efficent, the computer does everything. So it was no surprise to us when the last round started and within two hours, the round was over AND it was tabulated AND we knew who would be participating in the run-off and elimination rounds. Oh, but no. ( Read more... )

Welcome to our coverage of the NFL National Tournament! I have been blessed with the enviable position of Policy Debate ballot table and runner (oh thrill, actually, it's kinda fun, but ya know, hectic (but not really hectic, things run real smooth!)). Anywho, here are some of the days fun events ( Read more... )

Today begins the beast, the process, the monster that is the NFL National Tournament. I'm in Policy Debate land, where 189 teams currently reside, but by Friday, only 2 will remain. I went to check in, and because the NFL uses the NFL database to process name badges, mine says: Jason Warren, Star Charter HS. That's right, I am the representative ( Read more... )

So we watched Sarah Silverman's 'Jesus is Magic' last night, and holy shit, is THAT the most offensive shit I've ever seen. And I'm not offended by anything! For example, last night Jill was teasing me that Bryan is her favorite and not me anymore, and I was sad. Bryan said "I gave her a topic for next year, what did you give her?" and I ( Read more... )

We have decided, and by we I mean Gy, Bryan, and myself, that football now refers to that thing you Americans call soccer. Nascar rugby refers to a game where there's a pigskin thrown back and forth. Think about it- if Nascar and rugby had a child, it would look like American football. After all, that sport doesn't even involve the foot all that ( Read more... )

Unjust is overused in contemporary media. Trust me, I know, because I've been reading a lot of media about justice and come to the following 'finding' (those of you who caught the reference, give yourselves a pat on the back. A little lower.... reach for it.... ah never mind, have someone else do it for you)- Scalia is the antijust. His ( Read more... )

B-Mac and I watched Fight Club last night, not for any apparent reason, but because Bryan said we should watch Fight Club the other night when Caetlin, Chevy, and Eric came over and we got blazed and watched Austin Powers and Saved. So Fight Club it was... oh man, I forget how much that movie rocks! Any movie with references to anal nitrate is ( Read more... )
