The wife made an account for me on facebook. Good Christ, what was she thinking...


Now I've got all these friend requests to acknowledge and shit. This is like work.

I often wonder why those hot women don't just marry the rich.

Sometimes they do.  But that sort of chick often isn't able to keep her pants on long enough to do so.

This provides a lot of fun.

  Nicely done!  Will this lead to a teaching gig or library/research work of some type?

I'm applying to the UIUC for the masters' program in Curriculum and Instruction. Step one: pass Content and Basic Skills tests. The Basic Skills test is September 12. Step Two: Get stellar letters of recommendation. Step Three: Convince them that I was a moron while working on my undergrad (hence my low GPA), but that I've grown up and gotten a wee bit smarter.

Facebook is nothing but a timesink for voyeurs and exhibitionists.

And a source of valuable party intel for those of us still in uni

You must first chart the position and strata before removing the fossil! 

It was sitting on the ground.

My Internet research has led me to conclude that it is a Devonian brachiopod.  Interestingly, brachiopods are the state fossil of Kentucky.

Just watched part of "Women on Top," HBO documentary on the porn industry.  One agent said a contract star makes about 60-70K (this was in 2004) and works maybe 4 days a month.

That's not very much, considering the short "working life". Can't retire on 60-70K over maybe 10 -15 years or so.

Most die of drug overdoses before then.

Woohoo,  found a letter that I forgot to open yesterday- I'm getting a career development loan next year.
This combined with being in a better, less studenty flat with just me and one friend should mean though school is starting up again at the end of the month it won't be back to abject poverty

Well done!

Note to self: Fresh garlic on pizza is good, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

Its not an achievment but money > no money by quite a long way. That's why I'm happy.

From the NYT Book Review:

Donald Rumsfeld was both the youngest Secretary of Defense (under Ford) and the oldest (under Bush II).

He co-sponsored the Freedom of Information Act (!)

I think I broke my toilet.

I just looked in my freezer. It only contains two half empty bottles of tequila and a can of limeade.
