Born to complain

A few things:

I tried to pay my tuition, but there was like this giant line of people who were all waiting to pay. Yes, I know I can pay online but I don't want to put it on my credit card. You'd think the university would have the common sense to maybe add an extra cashier or two to handle the load on the last day before interest gets charged. You'd think. Of course, this is the same university that refused to negotiate gender pay equality with its unions. And you know, it wasn't that long ago that I actually liked this university.

Picked up my grad photos. I'm clearly not photogenic and I've known that since I was 13. They're not awful or anything, but I wish the photographer would have let me do my Magnum pose. I really think that one would have been the keeper.

Lastly, I have so much school work to do I could cry. But I really feel no motivation to do anything, and it's never been this bad. Oh, look! Call of Duty 2 is just a mouse-click away...

Another confession

Ech. I can't believe I'm admitting this since I usually admonish Crispi for watching it, but I watched the Martha Stewart show today because it discussed wedding issues.

So what? Big deal. YOU try finding a good photographer for less than 2 grand.

One last thing

I continue to be amazed at the amount of people who believe the picture to your right is actually me. No, I regret to inform you that that is Brian Krakow from the television show known as My So-Called Life starring a young Claire Danes that aired back in 1994. (Ah, 1994 - I was but a young whippersnapper. 94 was also a fantastic year for music.) You see, I have been told that Brian and I share certain characteristics.

But that's not actually me. I could never pull off a curly white-man afro.

Back in black

We now return you to your regular nerd-related programming.

Basically, this now means you have no reason to visit here.

So much for me making money off of Ad Sense...

That shit is over!

What in the hell is the ESA?

Here's a lovely drawing from Kim. Wait to go Kim! w00t!

















Here is the link to the Tiki Bar thing I was talking about. Watch these episodes. They're pretty funny. Plus Johnny-Johnny looks like a friend of mine. Why that would appeal to you, I don't know.

The ESA thing

Kind of reminds me of the DA from Harry Potter. Anyway, on Saturday the 21st starting at 7:30 at Amigo's or Lydia's, (as I'm hoping to start early at those places to avoid cover) the Broadway pub crawl will begin. If people want, I might see about getting a copy of the apparently now infamous "A First Year Guide to the College of Education" video. Maybe we can watch it at my place first. But I seem to remember it being pretty tame and not very insulting to anyone at all, except for maybe the CSBE. It's also very brief at about 3 or 4 minutes, so I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.


Here is the ESA structure as I know it. Correct me if there are errors.

Supreme Dictator for Life
Mr. Lord

Sultan of Leisure
Ms. Thomson

- Kyler was previously "The General" but due to his valuable contributions I've promoted him to the much better sounding position of Supreme Allied Commander.

Empress
Ms. Stuart

Mr. Leblanc

Czarina
Ms. Yakimoski

Chancellor
Mr. Anderson
