Love Your Job

I do love teaching. Assigning, correcting, grading, and most of the administrative work I do could mostly go to hell, but teaching is good fun. I came across an article about Salinger today that I'm sure to include in the reading material for my next American literature course.

Is LOST real?

This is a bit of news you can find in a million places, I'm just linking to google's number one hit.

My special lady and I often watch an episode of Lost weeknights before bed. We're halfway through the third season. So far in the Desmond-Charlie arc, D has saved C's life three times.

For anyone unfamiliar with this, the deal is you can't avoid fate for long. If you're meant to die and you accidentally don't, the universe will course-correct and you'll die soon enough. Is that what happened to the women who missed the Air France flight?

And about the Air France flight in general, did they find the bodies, or just assume everyone was killed? Cause if they did make an assumption, hello, haven't they seen Lost?!

Article of the Day

Yeah, this is bullshit!

Climate of Hate, World of Double Standards, by Michelle Malkin

So Many Articles of the Day? I'd say it's because of universal goofiality.

In case anybody wondered why I've begun publishing more article of the day bits than usual, I will now let you know why, so you can stop wondering and return to day dreaming about being a pornography sound board operator. The top three blogs I follow for fun have halted production; no new posts for five weeks or more. I've been noticing this trend for a while, blogs getting abandoned or shut down. I used to blame laziness, now a mere devotion to new fads, too: the blog fad has come to an end, I guess. It has relegated its seat to Facefuck. So the amount of news I read during my free time has increased.

It wouldn't be so bad if Facefuck weren't also taking over the realm of email. Half the time I go to write some pal an email I realize when his email address doesn't pop us that I don't have it at all and I never did: he and/or she and I only send each other messages on Facefuck. It's our own fault (not mine, just everyone eles's) for being too lazy to switch from one webpage to another.

Hello people? If you want to make some comments publically about politics or life or anything random and begin a discussion about it, a blog is really the best forum for that. If you want to send me a personal messege, be a dear and send me a fuckin email, what? If you want to share some photo albums with me online, likely to include ones with people's faces, feel free to use facebook. Duh: that's why it's called facebook, not emailbook or blogbook.

Article of the Day

These are two related articles and I can't decide between them: Hate Speech? Nope. Just Common Sense by Phil Valentine and 'Thought Crimes' Bill Advances by Nat Hentoff. I also find the things they find appalling appalling.
