Someone at work sent me this very cool wallpaper site. If your desktop is bare, this is the place to go: [link]
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

That's a cute place, Heather. Just a little bit out of my price range, but you buy it and I'll visit!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Excellet Eric Alterman editorial in The Nation about the Bush administration's relationship to the press.
Make no mistake: The Bush Administration and its ideological allies are employing every means available to undermine journalists' ability to exercise their First Amendment function to hold power accountable. In fact, the Administration recognizes no such constitutional role for the press. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card has insisted that the media "don't represent the public any more than other people do.... I don't believe you have a check-and-balance function."
Lot's o' facts....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've never had much urge to own a house. I keep thinking I will develop one, but not so much so far.
None of the traffic or security delays I was afraid of actually happened, so now I have over two hours to kill at the the airport.
So I think people should tell me either something that made them happy today, or something ridiculous they's like to see, like an octupus bowling.

If I only had a brain...
Thank you very, very much for the birthday wishes, everybody.
In unrelated news, here is a young lady who needs to get over herself, fast.
I first stumbled upon the internship opportunity on SPIN's Web site, and decided to take a shot at it. The application required a cover letter and resume, and three to five clips of published work. Three to five? I had at least six in my portfolio from my time here at the Transcript and with MCLA's paper, the Beacon. Along with camera-room experience and graphic arts certification, I assumed I was a shoo-in and started looking for apartments in the East Village in my spare time.
I told my friends I was moving to New York for the summer, and told them they should all come along, thinking they would all say something like, "Wow Krystal, I would, but I just can't right now, you know, work and all." To my chagrin, they all said yes. My friend Amy is moving in a few weeks, and I found her a job at a hip vintage store in the East Village. At least it worked out for someone.
So. She APPLIED for an internship and assumed she'd gotten it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY!

Is it wrong of me to hope the universe slaps her down, and hard?
