I�m really pissed at my iPod. I wanted to listen to Placebo this afternoon and it wasn�t listed underneath artists, so I just listened to something else. I made sure Placebo was on my laptop, it was, so I hooked up the iPod to sync it, but it was already done. Going a different way I searched for the album title on the iPod and it�s listed. So, why is this album listed but not the artist?

Guy: All right, Hamburger Hamlet, Harbor House, Oriental Seafood...
Jessica: Anal Seafood? What?
Tina: Angel Seafood.
Jessica: Oh.
Guy: No, Oriental Seafood.
Jessica: Oriental.
[laughs]
Jessica: I thought he said "Anal Seafood".

What are you in for?

Biting the mailman. He was trying to cast a spell on me, like a wizard or something. (waves hand)

Are you sure about that?

I dunno, maybe he was just waving.

Why does the court system hate me? Am I some hardened criminal? Do they invent new punishments just for me? I feel as if I am being punished more severely than most actual criminals. All I did wrong was not pay a fee on my driver�s license. Because of this I got a ticket, which in turn caused me to lose my license for two years and now they are sending creditors after me and are slapping on additional fees as well as tacking on 12% interest retroactive to the date the ticket was issued. I corrected the fee thing shortly after receiving the ticket, but that was not enough for them.

FUCK!

On a side note, Menards has the full Halloween display up and the Christmas display starts going up Monday.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I don't know. Are you thinking Holy Shit, Holy Shit a swordfist almost went though my head? Then yes.

So, there's been official word that they're will be a new 'Lost' ARG (alternative reality game) set to begin at this year's ComicCon in San Diego. Supposedly, they will 'recruiting' Dharma Initiative members. This thing looks to blow the 'Find 815' ARG out of the water. I'm so jealous I'm not going, but at the same time I'm totally excited for another Lost-related time waster. If only this pesky school thing would stay away a little longer.

Summer's already half over, which depresses me. With every day, it's harder to not think about having to go back. I probably should be doing more with my time off, though, as usual, I don't feel like the summer is being wasted. And I finally got a draft of my predisseration turned in, and by this time point next year I finally should have a couple articles to my name, so it's not all bad.

We hosted our second poker night yesterday at the apartment. I had a lot of fun and things went a little faster and a little smoother than last time. And I finally won for a change. Thanks to everyone who came.

I'm off to the library to pick up some more reading material, as if I needed it. If I get inspired, maybe I'll share my "to read' list. That, or I'll enter back into radio silence for another 6 months. Guess we'll have to wait and see together.

(edit 5:32pm) Based on his already impressive resume, especially considering his relatively young age, I'm naming Christian Bale the best actor of his generation. I'm not even going to look at his competition, because I'm fairly confident I don't need to.

E.B. White - Here is New York
"There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives it solidity and continuity, but settlers give it passion."

I'm cursed and without a driver's liecense, again. And guess what, it's because of paperwork, again.

- On equality: "I've been portrayed as a caveman by some. That's not true. I'm a conservative progressive, and that means I think all men are equal, be they slants, beaners, or niggers."
