Public Service Announcement

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I have one word of advice: Wear deodorant. I have noticed a preponderance of individuals who seem to have ignored this simple yet important rule. There's really no excuse for this. I mean, we are way beyond junior high here, kids. Shouldn't we have figured this one out already?

Also (and this is particularly aimed at those of the female sex): Wear clothes that fit you. I don't care how hot you think you are, nobody wants to see your gut hanging over your jeans because your shirt is too short to cover it. This is a glamor don't, my friends.

Listen, I'm no fashion expert. Of course I'm not. It's even been discussed that perhaps I should be on What Not to Wear. But even I recognize these basic, essential rules. Hygiene. Clothes that fit. You'll look like a million bucks, I swear.

Adios, muchachos.

Well, it's official, kids: I've been accepted to the MAAT program at Southwestern College. Off to Santa Fe I go!

In the meantime, I'm looking for a summer job. As of yet, The Man has not been very helpful in this matter. If anyone has any connections in the greater Philadelphia area and could get me the hook up, I'd be most grateful.

Time to get ready for lab. This lab (animal development) is getting out of hand. How long can a person look at serial cross sections of a chicken embryo? It's maddening. Besides, what did the chickens ever do to get hacked up and placed on glass slides? Cruelty! Alas. The silly demands placed upon me by this wonderful institue of higher learning.

watching my daily life with the sound off.

thirty-three years go by
and not once do you come home
to find a man sitting in your bedroom
that is
a man you don't know
who came a long way to deliver one very specific message:
lock your back door, you idiot
however invincible you imagine yourself to be
you are wrong

-Parameters, Ani Difranco

What part of "I hate your fucking guts" can a person not understand?
Yet he continues to intrude on my life in the simplest but most
irritating ways. Sigh.
