The Second One Is Free

Might as well create two new categories today. This one is for interesting lyrics which I have heard recently.

you're one fry short of a happy meal
"Big Fish" by FFH

There needs to be more scat in modern music.

News Experiment

Commenting on news articles is something I have heretofore restrained myself from doing. This afternoon however, not feeling much restraint. Here's what I read:

The United for Peace and Justice group organizing Sunday's march was denied a permit to rally in Central Park because city officials said a large crowd would damage the grass.

This enrages me. Not because I care (or even know) about the United Peace and Justice group, but rather because of the screaming stupidity of these "city officials." They are denying a crowd their right rally a cause because they're worried about the grass! Come on! Certainly free speech (man, I hate using that terminology) is more precious than a few acres of turf. Even if it is damaged, it would just be a temporary sign of zeal for a cause. Then the grass would repair itself and all would be well.

They certainly wouldn't just be using it as an excuse to stop an unwanted protest. That would be lying.

Ready, Set, School!

Here I am, sitting at my desk making my first post from my new place. Kinda lonely being here, but I've got lots of friends if I need to have fun. My school schedule couldn't be better. I have all the classes I want and some time for work, too. I just hope my new time machine works well. Somehow, I've reached a level of peace and focus that I didn't expect, so I'm excited for this semester to start. Yee haw!

Thanks friends, for fun at Joe's last night!

Goodbye Stoicism

Never before have I been so happy and so sad. I both love and hate the University of Illinois.

I wish I were a Hobbit.

It's That Time Again!

New clothes for my phone
New apartment for dwelling
Adventures await

I'm either really bad or really good with haiku. Since it's art, I'll never know.

A Trip To The Movies, And Toaster TLC

Hello, I just returned from watching Napoleon Dynamite. Wow. That's about all I can say. It is devoid of plot, completely non-sensical, and absolutely wonderful. I laughed so hard my face hurts. Go see it. Take your friends. Have a jolly time!

Also, have you told your toaster, "I love you," lately? Give it a bath. Toasters like to bathe.
