I've been having so much fun obsessing over the election that I don't want it to end.

I'm directing two plays next quarter and essentially being coerced by the theatre department to underload and only take two classes.
This is so fucking dope. I've wanted to underload for so long.

Why did I think it was a good idea to take a 400-level course this quarter? I'm going to flunk my physiological psych exam, I just know it. I haven't been this scared about a test since junior year of high school. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I just used my insider ties at the Target Castleton Electronics Department to buy a 16 GB ipod touch for $190.

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.

will invited me to go watch the olympics with some breubuf kids tonight and eat MCDONALDS (yes!) and a good deal of the evening was spent ironically chanting USA USA USA USA. also making jokes about organ harvesting. and listening to bob costas being racist. and picking out the hotties of each nation.
hottest nations:
-USA USA USA
-italy
-india
-russia
-germany
close contenders: spain, jamaica, canada, the netherlands, greece, pakistan
there was a really funny part when george bush was checking his watch all like "damn when are these fuckin olympics over?" that ruled. USA USA USA USA.

I've come around again on Radiohead. Since seeing them live, I've decided that they might just be the best band out there today.
Also, Grizzly Bear is way better live than on recording. They really let their production bog them down on their albums. When they're live you can see how talented (and good looking) they actually are.

I saw Radiohead tonight and it was the best concert ever. Perhaps I may elaborate tomorrow. Probably not.

Work was pretty good today. I got to TL softlines thanks to Daniel and thus spend way less time wave zoning than usual. That is meaningless to anyone but me.
In general I like my job, and I especially have been enjoying it since I've been given more responsibility/seniority, but it's been grating me how I've been scheduled for 40-hour weeks while other people who are technically my peers are given waaaaay less hours because management knows that I can do the work of a team leader while still making entry level wages. I'm glad to be cross-trained and valued for as an employee, but I wish that the store would just promote me already. I'm definitely not staying past holidays if I'm not made a specialist at the least.

There be three things which are too wonderful for me,
Yea, four which I know not:
The way of an eagle in the air;
the way of a serpent upon a rock;
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea;
and the way of a man with a maid.
-Proverbs 30-18-19, KJV

William is driving me absolutely insane! I left class and he and Rickpaul were in the woodroom and I saw him. Then he just turned and immediately walked away! I wasn't going to talk to him anyway! I had to leave... but still! Yesterday I asked him why he's so mean to me sometimes. He just said what he always says: "because you get so indignant." It's not that I'm offended by his rudeness because I don't take it seriously at all, but I'm annoyed with him. I've decided not to talk to him anymore until he talks to me first.
What a bright and mature 14-year-old I was.
**********************************************
I started back at work today which was actually sort of brilliant. There's something especially human about menial labor. Carrying boxes, stocking shelves, folding shirts. Not to sound like a neo-nazi, but arbeit mach frei.
I guess what I like most about work is that it gives me a lot of time to let my imagination run wild. Granted, I wasn't as alone today as usual. For some bizarre reason, Leslie asked me to train a new girl in zoning, which I'm frankly unqualified to do.
Working at Target is weird sometimes because there is such a high employee turn-over rate. This does mean, however, that people get promoted when they stick with the store for a long while. I noticed that this kid Daniel who was hired after I was has now got quite a bit of status. I also noticed how many people were gone. Victoria, my old hardlines TL, in particular was missed.

| why christopher hitchens doesn't understand women or humor |
[13 Jun 2008|11:40pm] |
http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701
I never got around to reading this until now but i'll damned if this doesn't make me want to vomit. to be brief
-Women ARE funny
-Male humor which Hitchens asserts is based on suffering, absurdity, and vulgarity is not necessarily the only form of humor and certainly not the best
-Stand-up comedy is hardly the best measure of humor
-Men don't have to be funny to be attractive
-Being thought of as funny and smart is important to women
-I know many men who ARE more attracted to funny women
-And finally, evolutionary psychology sucks. The pursuit of sex does not motivate all behavior and using evolution to justify hating women does not make you less of a disgusting sexist.
There was a great rebuttle later in Vanity Fair with several really great female comics including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler (my idol), and, of course, Sarah Silverman. Now, I don't always find Silverman funny, BUT I do find it really lame that Hitchens discounts Silverman's very female sense of humor because she's Jewish and therefore exempt from the Women = not funny rule.

summer in the city, I’m so lonely lonely lonely
I’ve been hallucinating you, babe, at the backs of other women
and I tap them on the shoulder and they turn around smiling
but there’s no recognition in their eyes
