doofuses

doofuses (doofii?) don't like non-doofs. That's what makes them doofuses.

what is up is grad school

I have to write like, 40 pages total by tuesday afternoon. I'm seriously working hard here. It beats my old life in several very important ways. One of those ways is that I  am drinking beer while doing this work and IT IS TOTALLY OK. Up yours, being a systems administrator.

Also of note is the presence of my wife's cat, who could never come keep me company in the server room but is totally rubbing her head on my knee right now. Hegemony tells me she likes me but i know it's just dinner time.

Blog it up!

I'm about to.

marriage

Being married is like being insane: the scope of your life increases by 100% and you have NO CONTROL over that new territory. Seriously, it's like, What's my left hand doin'? I don't know!


Note: this musing was inspired by laundry day.

ECON 101

The other day it was raining.  I stood waiiting for the bus, getting wet because my rain jacket is "water-resistant," not "water-proof."  On the bus, a couple of older black women had cut open old plastic groocery bags and made bonnets out of them.  I paid like $75.  They paid nothing.  Who was dryer? 

musings on the state of capitalism.

I just imagine myself walking into the groocery store and saying..."do you have any sort of product that might help me to wash fruit?"

The oscars featured a montage of epic movies.  The moral was that you could only truly appreciate these at thhe theater.  I.e., don't stay home hunched over your PSP.  But where are you gonna see Ben Hur or The Sound of Music at a theater?  Durrr.

environmentalism and doom

Maybe environmentalism is just prolongin the suffereing. The sooner we, as a species, poison ourselves, the sooner the Earth can peacefully get on with the business of waiting for the sun to turn red giant and swallow it.


Unless without humans to eat them metahne-farting cows will cause a runaway greenhouse effect and the next thing you know, we've got Venus Mark II going on.
