praise be
after looking at the message board for those comp exam papers i wrote in chicago and seeing that multiple people spent upwards of 72 hours working on it (i spent roughly 24), i was a little panicked. all for naught though, because i just got this email: Congratulations! Your hard work and dedication have come to fruition.
You have passed the Capstone Experience examinations. If you have met
all of your other academic requirements, you will graduate in August,

holy shit
when i got my hair cut last night, the woman must have somehow tuned into my very hesitant, unspoken "i would like a jean seberg hairstyle" thoughts, because she went a little scissor-happy. no problem, this:  is a style i'm happy to bite. on the JS tip, in my boredom at work, i found a biography of her online. get this: In the late 1960s, actress Jean Seberg became increasing active in left wing political groups. Her support for the anti-racist movement the Black Panthers was well known. But such was Seberg's influence, esspecially in Europe, that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover considered her a genuine liability, and, in 1970 when she was seven months preganant, issued instructions that Seberg be "neutralised".
Thus it was that a fake letter was "leaked" to the Hollywood gossip columns, suggesting that the father of the child was not Gary, but a member of the Black Panthers. The reaction so traumatised Seberg that she gave birth prematurely, and the child was stillborn. The next day Seberg called a press conference, where she presented shocked journalists with the body of her dead white child. The measure, though extreme, put an end to the rumours, but the FBI continued to hound Seberg until she eventually moved back to Paris. the thought of a celebrity presenting a DEAD BABY at a press conference today makes my head spin, so i can't even imagine how it went over in 1970. incredible. edit: hmm, after searching a bit more, there are conflicting reports about how she flaunted the ethnicity of her dead baby. one says the showed a picture of the fetus, another says she buried it in a transparent coffin. either way, i think the "holy shit" stands. | | Saturday, June 17th, 2006 | | 2:23 am |

i have been in evanston for exactly 1.5 hours, and so far i have seen: my old roommate; my old landlord; one of my professors; one person i had a class with; some girl that my friend messed around with but whose name i cannot remember; and TWO friendly, familiar bums from my whole foods days. none of whom have recognized me. | | Wednesday, May 31st, 2006 | | 3:18 pm |

i kind of love this
an excerpt from my office's administrative council meeting minutes: "-Consider alternatives besides shaving of heads to raise money" | | 8:36 am |
storm the tower played the other night, good times. i finally picked up that tape... it's funny that a song about my texan hometown by a texan band could make me so homesick for chicago. speaking of which, i stumbled upon this list of the best skylines in the world. not surprisingly, chicago is #2.  something about seeing that skyline, even in pictures, gets me all choked up. beautiful view, beautiful city, lots of good memories. (it's not all bad, dallas gets an honorable mention on the skyline list.) | | Monday, April 24th, 2006 | | 10:54 am |
i come before you today to solve a riddle that has plagued mankind for centuries...
q: what has four legs and ticks? a: a walking clock! alternate a: spoon! poor spooner has ten million ticks... she has been very good about letting me put goo on them and pull them off, but i still feel awful having to wrestle her around and keep her in her kennel so there aren't tick corpses all over the house. i hope they will be all gone by today! she met a frog last night and didn't know what to do with it. ps i am feeling really stressed and shitty :((((((haha, fuck that... i just found out that the new phone extension for my office is 1488 and i'm laughing too hard to be in a bad mood!

IT'S AMY DAY!!!!!! today i get to do whatever i want and none of you fuckers can stop me. | | Thursday, February 9th, 2006 | | 9:06 am |
though i did not think it was even possible, i think my eyesight has actually gotten worse. all this week i've been getting horrible, splitting headaches at work, and i'm having trouble focusing on things in low lighting for any length of time. not good! the bitch of it is that i am on my last pair of disposable contacts and i do not have vision insurance. so, i have several options: 1) hope that my prescription hasn't changed (even though i totally think it has!), skip the (potentially pricy) eye exam and just shell out for more contacts, 2) suck it up and pay out of pocket for both an eye exam and new contacts, and god knows how much that would cost, 3) ask my parents to pay for an eye exam and new contacts as my birthday present (BOOOO, LAME), or 4) forget about contacts and save my money and just stick with my glasses which are certainly the wrong prescription. how good of a seeing eye dog do you think spoon would be?

two phrases/words that never fail to annoy the shit out of me
- "jebus" (intended as a hilaaaarious substitution for "jesus." fuck off.) - "smoking crack" (ie, crazy. "the landlord told me my rent went up and i was like, 'are you smoking crack?'" again, fuck off.) i'm back home now and sick and cranky but otherwise feelin' fine/doin' all right (fresno, you can fuck off too). | | Thursday, December 22nd, 2005 | | 5:18 pm |
i've been bored off my ass the past several nights so i went to payless to rent some movies. i was in kind of a pissy mood, so i ended up with: - man bites dog - aileen: portrait of a serial killer - sid and nancy so, three murder movies, two of which feature serial killers. as i was leaving, the guy who rang me up said: "uh... merry christmas?" | | Saturday, December 17th, 2005 | | 7:25 pm |

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
q: how many crimethinc kids does it take to change a lightbulb? a: there were six of us, and the moon was full. eating dumpstered bagels on the rooftop of that squatted church in duluth, looking out over the freight yard, i knew: we had changed more than a lightbulb that night. we'd changed the world. | | Friday, November 11th, 2005 | | 9:29 pm |
