| I can appreciate sarcasm and a dark sense of humor as much as the next person, but saying that some people don't deserve to live while a national tragedy is going is rather heartless.
All life is precious, and I would think being a father you would understand this. |

Originally posted by Goku I know exactly what you mean about them not telling you about medical shit until it's already gone to collections. The one time I got sent to the emergency room via ambulance they took all of my information down wrong despite my repeating it to them multiple times. On further reflection, I shouldn't have bothered telling them. Anyway, a couple months later the debt collectors start sending nasty letters and all of the other stuff was going to the wrong address. Whatever... it sucks. I know what you're going through on that. I'm really sorry to hear about your extended family members. Was there an accident? Either way, that's extremely unfortunate and again I'm sorry. As for the car issues, believe me, I feel you. My boyfriend and I haven't EVER had a great, working car. It's like every time we get a new one (used, every time) it completely drives into the ground within a couple years needing new alternators here, new master cylinders there, new tires, new fanbelts, new batteries, it just keeps going and going. And forget about AC, heat, being able to roll down windows or open the glove compartment (I have to open the one we have now with a tire iron), and so on. And Elara, do I know this person? I know some of the old, and newer (I suppose), LBCC crowd were starting to lean right. Anyway, to keep on topic, fuck the volunteer situation at this comic convention this weekend. It's supposed to be that you work 4 hours and then you can enjoy the rest of the day, but the guy we've got has us work 8, 9, 10-hour days and he's never around to help us, find us relief, or allow us to even go off to watch a panel or walk the exhibit hall floor for a while. I pretty much worked registration from opening to closing two days straight and got to watch half of a panel I wanted to see and was even guilt-tripped for that. It's fucking slave labor, and I'm seeing other volunteers getting preferential treatment and doing all the cool jobs while the rest of us are stuck working. Yeah, I'm taking that job covering an event today to avoid going to the con. It's THAT bad. Me, the convention addict, willing to forgo a con? You know something's amiss. |

| My heart felt as though it stopped as I pulled myself into my car after covering a Native American powwow to hear the radio fire on as I turned the key in the ignition. The first sounds: "This just in. It is confirmed. Osama bin Laden is DEAD."
The next comment went, "And his son. WHAT. A. DOUCHEBAG. Using a woman as a human shield?" I agree, FX. Life is precious. Since hearing the news, I was at a bar watching my boyfriend's band while people toasted the man's death. It felt weird. I mean, he's got the blood of thousands on his hands. I get it. There's a sense of relief and victory. But yeah, there's something wrong about celebrating a death. I feel like it's no better than September 11th when video of people cheering in the streets of the Middle East was broadcast. As seen here: But honestly, this image that's been going around is sort of a suckerpunch of patriotism:  |

| Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but there are no pictures of the body and the one that's been going around is a proven fake (link), and the body has since been buried at sea.
Suspicious. |

| Answering my own question, because I'm just the bored.
Cannibal: The Musical, overall. It was pretty much a student film in terms of quality and production value. Where's the worst place you've had to sleep? |

| Well, see, there are no pictures. At least none have been released to the public yet, anyway.
And the body was disposed of rather quickly (supposedly following Islamic tradition), so no one can prove or disprove that it was him by burying him at sea, giving the explanation that it was so his grave would not be a shrine or gathering place for Al Qaeda members and so on. They claim they have DNA evidence saying they're 99% sure it's him, but they don't tell you how the testing was conducted or what have you. It's just all rather unsettling.

| Fuck the way I've been feeling lately. My body's in constant pain and I can barely walk. My back hurts. My feet REALLY hurt. My legs barely work. My head is throbbing, and I'm running a fever.
I have a paper to write (15 pages) that's due tomorrow and I have to do a 15 minute presentation on it. Feeling shitty for the past few days I haven't bothered starting. Motherfucker. |

| Oddly enough, I think it was more Bogfest, Saturday night, that destroyed me. I spent three hours sitting and leaning against a palm tree covered in Christmas lights and I kept having to re-adjust because my back, legs, and tailbone were killing me.
I was actually surprised when I was able to stand up. Didn't help that the next day was entirely draining. |

It would happen then, wouldn't it? I'll be up near San Francisco and then flying home to graduate the next day.  |

| I'm sitting in class right now, waiting to give my senior thesis presentation on comic books.
My stomach is in knots. EDIT: It's DEATH BY POWERPOINT!! I've sat through five 20-minute Powerpoint presentations now. *Scratches eyes out in boredom* (Last edited by Rogue on 05-03-11 08:54 PM) |

| Depending who you hear it from, there's supposedly been multiple Anti-Christs already.
Nero, Hitler, Caligula, Napoleon, etc. (Last edited by Rogue on 05-03-11 09:00 PM) |

Laying around watching Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian again. Borrowed it from the library, despite having already seen it a few times. Saw it before seeing the first movie, actually.
|
Yeah, I know these movies are cheesy. And I'm aware they're starring Ben Stiller. But I'm a sucker for museums and historical figures and the like. They're fun movies.

My presentation went pretty well. Since the people ahead of me went over their allotted 15 minutes each, mine was cut short, but I pick it up on Tuesday. I was getting ready to show them the anti-comic PSA from the '50s.
|
What kills me about people doing Powerpoints is they usually write everything they want to say in the Powerpoint and then read it to you at a snail's pace. It's ridiculous and it makes your audience suicidal.

I tried jumping off the bannister in my house, trying to see if plastic grocery store bags would work as parachutes.
|
Spoiler alert: They do not.

Well, if you argue that AIDS and cancer are forms of pestilence, consider the fact that we are at war, and that we've got suspiciously insane weather ravaging 11 states at the moment, be it in the form of tornadoes or floods, it truly is the end of days.

I guess it was just the flu. I came back to work today and now I'm hearing multiple people in the building making the same complaints -- exhaustion, muscle aches, fever, but no coughing or nausea.
|
On that note, fuck the fact that there is a woman sobbing in her office with the door shut right now. The poor woman has lymphoma and she's started going through chemo, but now she has a blood clot in her leg and it's painful and infected and her husband said he's too busy to come get her to take her to the hospital. I REALLY wish I had a car here right now.

To be fair, Chev, I don't think any of us really believe this.

I certainly don't.
