I need you to email me back professor
Please just email me back so I can either find another professor who might be cool with me TAing or something ;_;

Man I have made some dumb decisions about my education in the past, but this one is pretty dumb.
I should buy an electric guitar again. There’s no way that could be an irresponsible purchase.

thirstinmore replied to your post: That was some scary shit what did your professor say?
She agreed that it’d be a tough class, but also agreed that there’s a lot in the course work that would help me pass the exam (She’s on my exam committee also, you see). So, we’ve scheduled a meeting for later this week to figure out what we’ll be doing.
I really want to...
WatchAmazon released an update to the Kindle Touch that makes the pages turn way faster. It’s a subtle difference, but it feels significantly better while you’re reading.
That was some scary shit
Today I saw one super fucking scary syllabus. So scary that I emailed my professor to see if she thinks I’m actually capable of doing this while working on my exams. I know I could TA a class or something, but I also do want to read a million books kind of? I am so torn and so afraid of dying in a pile of assigned readings.
The Most Badass Excerpt From Barney Frank's...
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

Today a friend shared Bombfell with me. Hardly the first of its kind, Bombfell offers a subscription service allowing “lazy” men to acquire “female-approved clothing.” You’re sent a piece of clothing picked out by a totally female shopper each month like the BMG Music Club. If you don’t like it, you send it back. If you do like it, you spend $69 to keep it.
This isn’t in...

2012 is going to be one of those rough years
One of those years when I have to decide if I’m going to get behind another post-Nebraska Springsteen record or not. This one actually mentions Occupy Wall Street in the iTunes notes so you know it’s gotta be totally relevant to my generation. I hope he does hashtag raps in a few of the songs.

Snooping around to try and find some sources for a “fact” reblogged by friend Zoë, I discovered that anti-choice blogs are full of horrible, browser-crashing, Flash ads. This isn’t surprising, it just confirms some suspicions.
(The quote appears to come from some Irish/UK anti-choice organization and was given by a Dr. Michael Jarmulowicz of the Catholic Doctors and Catholic...

The Screaming Females’ keen sense of song prevails in this Tiny Desk Concert, especially in a new song called “It All Means Nothing.”
I will listen to this.

codalion replied to your post: What kind of dehydrator did you get from Amazon again? All your talk of tofu jerky made me decide to shop for one (also it will help me preserve stuff from my garden way more easily). I read that as “Necro American Harvest FD-37 Watt Food Dehydrator.”
Death dehydrates us all.

And so begins that fun time of the semester when you fret over whether or not your loans will arrive before your syllabuses and rent due date.
Californians: Call Your Senators
Guess how much money the MPAA and RIAA pour into our Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein received $168,000 from the TV, movie, and music industries.1 Boxer received $898,568 from Hollywood.2 It’s no surprise then that both co-sponsored PIPA, the Senate version of SOPA (The Stop Online Piracy Act).
