THE VICIOUS CYCLE

Hopefully this is something I can avoid for a while now, but Jorge Cham of PhD Comics created a hilarious diagram.  It’s so sad but so true.

ITALIAN SKIRT SNAPPER

Is it just me, or is the BBC getting a bit snarky nowadays? Of course, their coverage of international events (most recently the tragic loss of life in China and Burma) remains superb.  However, I find that the less important articles are either written by some grumpy staff writer or by someone who really enjoys their job.  Let me show you what I mean.

I was reading an article on an old Italian man who was caught attempting to take pictures up/near/close to women’s skirts in Venice.  After reading the article, I was rather glad Italian police decided do take action and arrested the man.  While the article was rather odd, interesting and partly humourous, the last line nearly caught me by surprise.  

It reads “He might have some explaining to do when he finally gets home.”

Snarky, isn’t it?

Edit: I couldn’t help but be reminded of I Love Lucy, when Desi Arnaz says “Lucy, you gots some splainin’ to do!”

PAPER UPDATE

I hate this damn thing.  I’m so close to the halfway mark, and then I get stuck.  Damn.

LAST HURDLE

Writing the last essay of your college career is quite the challenge.  It doesn’t help that I have writer’s block and am slowly losing my sense of motivation.  Ahhh….

THOUGHT OF THE HOUR

Papers should write themselves.  You know, like when you see those automated pianos playing themselves in department stores.  You should just have to turn your computer on, open a Word document, and just walk away.  The keys can then type themselves.  Oh the things I conjure up in my head…

ALMOST CATCHING THE NEW YORK TIMES

Don’t you hate it when you think you find a typo in the NYT, only to find out that it wasn’t a typo and that you misread something?  Damn.

MOTHER NATURE

She is very angry.  Earthquake in China killing 8,000+, Cyclone in Burma killing hundreds of thousands… Geez.

THOUGHT OF THE HOUR

Why was I cursed to sweat so much compared to other people?  It’s so gross.

Also, I graduate exactly two weeks from now.  Begin joy/panic mode.
