6. my "Jew thing" (as one friend so delicately put it)

7. Absolute Obsession with kierkegaard (hee hee). i wrote a thingy in my last class because nieman "silenced" me, basically saying that i talked all the time and he was going to force other people to. it was frustrating, i had a lot to say. so i wrote this thingy, and titled it (keep in mind, i never title anything) "poetical fragments"
i really enjoyed that.

thoughts

here i am going to list things that i want to think about outloud, do not have the time at the moment, but do not want to forget.
im putting them out in the open because im more likely to follow through this way, and i really do want to figure these out

1. the library is seriously considering phasing out bookplates, and listing all donor information online. my immediate reaction was "NO", and i had to spent about 15min explaining to my boss why, at the same time figuring it out for myself.
i basically ended up saying that the libraries owe the time and effort to the donors and even if they dont consciously notice them, its important for the students to see them
her first reaction was "oh yeah ... maybe later in life they'll remember and they'll donate too"
but thats not it, in fact i think thats a terrible reason. i want it to be non utilitarian ... more like the libraries setting an example for the students, than trying to put subliminal messaging out there.

2. section A of the nytimes. im obsessed. i actually dont like eating with people anymore, i look forward to sitting in a corner reading.
ive noticed that i scan headlines, and the ones im most likely to stop and read have to do with Iran, China, the Congo, or major businesses merging.
which is redic because im the token politics hater in the family, and i REALLY hate business.
know your enemies?

3. how i feel about life terms for juveniles. did you know that the US was the only country in the whole UN that advocates life sentence without the option of parole for juvies? why is that?
i dont know how i feel ... my head says that they should get a second chance, my gut (sry mom) says that they shouldnt.

4. we potentially need to create subdivisions of "minor." rape is evil and vicious no matter what, obviously. but there has to be a concrete difference in raping a 17 year old and a 3 year old (some guy who raped a 3 yearold girl and videotaped it four years ago got caught yesterday). i dont know. something about child molesters.
im mentally opposed to the death penalty ... but anyone who does anything to a child like that deserves to be impaled and fed to the harpies.

5. i love the dali lama.

ZOMBIE DANCE!

if you want to laugh really REALLY hard, look up pitchforkmedia's review of in rainbows.
i was in tears, silently, because there are a ton of people studying around me.

i also discovered that if andy samberg is in something, im going to laugh really hard. even if it is just him punching people right before they eat something.
i think he's samardzija's lost twin.

i feel like i have had nothing to say for a while.
i read the NYtimes every breakfast ... almost always rip out some article.
but im left all blergh. maybe its cos currently my sinuses are filled with blood.

maybe im devoting my subconscious to figuring out what on EARTH im going to do for the OC's aquinas paper. grrr.


oh well, there'll always be youtube and snl digital shorts.


[live your dreams!!!!]

bloods

yeah, so i was getting ready for bed, cleaning up etc
perhaps cleaned my ears with a non-earcleaning cottony stick thing
perhaps felt a slight discomfort, nothing to worry about
and after noticed that cottony stick thing is all bloody
and my ear feels wet

yeah, so i googled "bleeding ear"
not too much to do, positive the ear drum is intact, but thought maybe there was some reason for it
like, i didnt/dont feel a pain, i have no idea what happened

but once i saw "viral hemorrhagic fever" on the list of possible causes
i stopped looking


so yeah, other than that im fine
maybe i have ebola, but as far as a i know
im fine


*brrrr*

R A D I O H E A D

its here. i woke up at 6:55am to listen to the world radio premier streamed online from london.
ive listened to it 3x so far ... im not sure what to think, where it falls on the radiohead rateometer
been talking to my friend sean all morning online about it, compare/contrast
i think its brilliant
im going to put it on my mp3 player
listen to it all day
but yes ... and videotape may be one of the most beautiful songs ... ever

I Ran

i think im in love with andy samberg.
and as i predicted, i am the ONLY person who even likes Hot Rod, let alone is OBSESSED here


but yeah:
