But CUNT, men, that sucker is top shelf!

I need a lie down after that post.

[theinevitable]

so, I hadn't printed out the review sheet for my Statistics exam, which is on friday.
I look at the top, and the first list of topics says "concepts you should understand but won't have to compute:" and then there was a list of like 10 things, and I said "oh, awesome, I won't have to re-learn how to do all that stuff."
And then, on the next page, "Things you will need to be able to explain conceptually, and interpret, but will not have to compute:" and then a list of all the obnoxious specifi-statistics like Cohen's Octopus Correction (the formula you use to correct values if some subjects were Octopuses) and Johanson's Beer Coefficient (the coefficient of how much beer you will need to consume to give a shit about the Octopus Correction for a given study).
She basically cut out half the obnoxious formulas I was going to have to learn. I am so glad, but I am attempting to rein myself in lest I use this as an excuse to study less.

Tonight I am going to dinner with my good friend who is graduating, and my future-roommate who she has been having Maximum Cuddles with all semester. Our plan is to go someplace on The Hill, which is the awesome Italian part of St Louis (where Yogi Berra is from!)
After this we will go to the opening of an exhibit at the school's art museum (which the girl I like works at! she said I should come!). The exhibit is of works by MFA candidates, so, it should be interesting and diverse.

...find out the pools of blood around my workplace were from a sex offender who had gone on the lam and broken into two other businesses before ours to call phone sex lines and look at porn on their computers.  Fortunatly he cut himself so bad on the window he broke that he only used our phone to call an ambulance, and he's now been arrested.  This is a different guy than the serial rapist I mentioned in my previous post.  They say bad things aways come in threes, I hope it's not the same with sex perverts.  Dear god I hope it's not the same with sex perverts.

Also today, I will write letters to the editor, and start a boycott due to horrible discrimination against teens.

Yay for assuming an entire class of people are criminals!

Teenagers have every bit as much right to loiter as old people.

quote of the night, after an acquaintance left a stuffed rabbit on the ground at the art museum:
"No, it is NOT "no big deal!" If you leave things on the floor at at art museum, people will think they're art!"

So yeah. Horrible Italian food that cost too much, horrible party that my friends were not at, horrible time continuing to realize that my friend's roommate is The Girl I Should fuck*ng Date except she is graduating and not into me (anymore?). Etc Etc, you know the drill. Smart, gorgeous, funny, likes weird things I like that no one else likes.

Now I am going to play Chrono Trigger until my roommate calls me to tell me what is up. Hopefully we will do something at least a little fun.

Funny bit, but don't read the comments, that way lies madness.

Oh yes - I forgot to note that "the Mosquito" mentioned in this article has been installed at a bus stop.  A public bus stop.  How exactly are you supposed to wait for a bus without "hanging around?"

I am completely convinced that they have a similar device at a supermarket in Charlotte. My friends all claim I can't possibly be right, but, it's the most obnoxious noise ever and I can't find any source for it.

I don't know what it's like in Canada, but here teenagers are compelled by law to attend a place where simply by virtue of being there they surrender their first, fourth, and fifth amendment rights. Granted, in theory adults sacrifice those same rights but adults can also just leave while teens cannot.

People actively enjoy discriminating against the young, is the point I'm trying to make here.

[theinevitable]

yeah, but I think the less we discriminate against youth the more boring our culture becomes.

Am I Rite?

Perhaps we're envious since we are no longer young and never will be again.

Or perhaps GET OFF OF MY LAWN DAMMIT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY HOURS I'VE PUT INTO MAKING THAT NICE AND NOW YOU ARE RUINING IT!!!???

Today I'm going to be contacted by every news org in the area, and try really hard to not be that person.  Nothing like talking about my Facebook boycott for the human rights of young people with people who don't know what Facebook is, don't know what the purpose of a boycott is and don't know that young people have human rights.  So I explain everything patiently and respectfully, but I know I'll be edited down to a single soundbite by someone who has no idea what is even going on.  Score!

We'd certainly lose a lot of good music.

Hang on, do you mean a boycott organised via facebook or a boycott of facebook? I'm fairly sure it's the former because I'm not sure how the latter affects... anything, or is even possible.

[Golfhaus]

I've been boycotting Facebook since the beginning. It was so EASY, too!

I'm of mixed opinion. I mean, on the one hand, yeah, it sucks that they're basically saying "We don't want you here," but if the security dude is right, and people are driving to the mall, seeing all the kids hanging out outside, and saying, "Yeah, screw THIS, I'll go spend my money somewhere else," I think the people paying rent on the stores inside have the right to tell the mall to do something about it.

Maybe I just have no respect for people with no shopping agenda.
