Still seems like a pretty discriminatory practice to me.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Totally discriminatory.

the all girls dormitories, in fact all dormitories, had 24 hour security guards and swipe IDs to gain entry. the fraternity houses had a locked door.
totally discrimination, but I can see that being the policy, even it wasn't an officially written down one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hayden has an article up at his blog from the Canadian magazine Macleans which is a very sobering look at the deficit. Which I know isn't what you want to read over lunch, but...it made me think this massive deficit Bush is building will very likely a severe economic collapse.
It doesn't look like a sky-is-falling analysis. Just basic finances.
Anybody else think we're going to see a Depression-level collapse in the next ten years? 'Cuz I'm thinking it might be time to start investing in gold, rather than my 401(k).

At my university the female residence still requires all male guests to sign in, where the other (mostly male residences) don't even lock their doors. When I was a student, male guests could not stay overnight, but I think they may have changed that, at least.

I think all the airlines just announced spring sales - I got 2 emails in the last hour with specials. It looks like purchase is required within the next 8-9 days, but that travel dates can be in April and/or May depending on airline.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, jesus christ. Paper's done. Paper's not half bad. However, somewhere in my dim brain, it occurs to me that there's actual reading due today as well. Okay, fine, I have time to get it done. Except? This is the one book the campus bookstore didn't have, so I don't currently OWN IT.
Time for panicked run to Barnes and Noble.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think there's a good chance. But I'm thinking, odds are it won't be that bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's overstating things a little. More like an Argentina-style collapse. Extremely painful, but not as long-lasting.
