Dude, we the class don’t want to hear your repeated “I don’t get it”s. If someone else was equally confused, we would have chimed in awhile ago. We might have elaborated on the question, or paraphrased it. 5 minutes is way too much time to be spending on this.

Environmental Classics, week 4: The Population Bomb
Summary of weekend: academic goals accomplished: none.
Laptop, on its way to houston for repair, should be back w/in 2 weeks (?!?! =( )
Laundry, mostly caught up
D2X character: Servorus, Paladin, level 12, shooting for an Avenger
Scott’s bed, moved
Ikea shopping, complete: table and shelves constructed
giant pot of split pea soup, tasty, but heavy on the collard greens
tally of furniture related pain: knuckle, bridge of foot, knee, and midback, all on the right side.
I’ve made a decision regarding MMORPGs. If I am ever at least a week ahead in my academic pursuits, I’ll let myself back on FFXI. Realistically, this probably means that I will not be doing MMORPGs, but will be substituting other games.
Bullshit factor 9: Wealth Creation
Praise for the free market
What I’m about to say may come as a surprise to some of you, but I think the free market is a grand thing. Property rights are also valid, useful and important. While I would usually include a “but…” at this point, I think this statement deserves to be dwelt upon.
First, let me specify what I mean by the free market. specification
Queen size bed
So, last year, I spent the entire year sleeping on a queen sized air mattress. Right before I moved to chicago it developed a leak I couldn’t find, and thus, couldn’t fix. I didn’t bother replacing it, but did get a small hand-me-down bed and mattress from
So, my plans are to get rental van on Sunday, get the bed, drop it off at my place, then go to ikea, get a couple shelves, and a kitchen table. I may also pick up a card table and folding chairs as an act of game night optimism.
Anyone else up for an ikea trip? Als, anyone with an excessively large vehicle want to help me not support uhaul/budget/ryder? There’s a nice dinner in it for you.
cheers.
Vatican imploding
Well, it seems that the Vatican really is intent on shedding the unneccessary deadweight of a fair fraction of their clergy and their limited standing in Western Europe and the US.
Stupid meme
I’m on the eve of not being poor. I may be getting a queen size bed (hand me down), a couple cheap tables, and some ikea (or target, probably target) bookshelves this weekend. Yay for massive domesticity.
So I celebrate with the “what decade of nerd am I” meme: Not a terribly entertaining quiz
my laptop is a desktop…
My laptop is a desktop for the time being. My laptop screen is dead. If apple will fix it, I may even buy the applecare, extend your warranty for two more years, plan. If they won’t, I’ll find a really tiny hexkey set, and fix the problem myself. Grrr!
Why the fuck do laptop screens use the damn foldover cable connector anyway? “Hi, this part keeps breaking, should we try to fix it?” “Shut up, go back to your cube, and work on an upgrade that will raise our stock market value.”
I mean, there have got to be two million different ways they could ditch this perpetual achilles heel of laptops. Why the hell haven’t they done any of them?
