A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

EVERYTHING is driving me crazy. I occasionally get like this where all background noise just makes my skin crawl. I am wearing headphones as a result.

I wonder if I could teach all day with headphones? That sounds like bliss right now, as I am in a similarly foul mood. Stupid Vicoden hangover.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Must be something in the air. I'm antsy and irritable too.

At least it's noon. One more hour until lunch.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

On Studio 60 I suspect that one of the problems they're having is its hard enough to write edgy topical humor when you're commenting on things that are actually happening in real time -- and that part of the reason it is so effective is that people have been perseverating about those topics all day/week and you are now exposing their humor.

They're trying to make up a situation, make us care about it, then nail it comedically. Granted, they're using "events" that are very similar to actual events we've experienced -- but they're forced to be vague and one of the first rules of comedy is that specificity is funny.

I don't think the obstacle is insurmountable and I bet they find their way around it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh, no they didn't. Where's my tinfoil hat at?

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

Oh, no they didn't.

They did it three times, actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Despite being irrationally grouchy last night, and then given rationale for increasing grouch, I do think I'm keeping quite calm. But my pants don't fit right, and I knew they didn't when I wore them out of the house. I'm also irritated that I don't have any black pants that fit right, despite having five pairs. The one pair that fit great? I accidentally washed and tumbledried. So they're a little...inviting. And need the hem repaired.

Yikes. I could go on forever.
