I must stop picking at the scab, lest it scars.
But I think I subconsciously do that so I get my Harry Potter-ish mark.

Judgment of the Day
Seriously? Pathetic desperation. I don’t know which is worse; that two people actually like this statement or that two people are equally desperate to be noticed.

Give me a freaking break. Who cares about songs? The speeches are what’s important.
Just another notch in the disappointment of our country.
My two cents about the Republican primaries and...
Not only are issues like women’s rights and health, LGBT equality—equality, for shit’s sake, are at risk with the crop of Republican ideologues (and Obama’s bad?), but the very meaning of what it is to be an American is getting lost and destroyed in these primaries. The Republicans should not be focusing on who can best defeat Obama in November, or who can outlast Obama in...

February has turned into Bully the Women month.
The Washington Post has a great op-ed about the latest setbacks in gender equality. I’ve copied and pasted the article in its entirety below.
The Big Backlash Against Bullying Women,Petula Dvorak
You’d think the political process had turned into one big, sexy GoDaddy Super Bowl ad, with all the focus on breasts, bellies and even butts this week.
Let me explain how our political...

Newt Gingrich is a sore loser.
First, he doesn’t follow the rules for Virginia’s primary and doesn’t get on the ballot. Then he sues the state because he’s too ignorant to follow the rules.
Now, he loses the Florida primary. And then he sues (well, I think he’s suing, I haven’t read it closely) because he doesn’t like Florida’s winner-take-all system with the delegates.

Oscar noms were announced today, thus continuing my growing frustration with how out of touch critics and the Academy of Motion (whatever it is) is. Personally, an Oscar is just a pat on the back for all these privileged people and honestly, aren’t those privileged people making movies for us, the non-privileged? So we can have two hours of our (sad) lives spent pretending everything is all...

To watch goofy anti choice groups come to campus and do something annoying.

Oh. Em. G. Melissa McCarthy has an Oscar nom.
Explosive diarrhea in a sink for the BAMF win. Oh, Lord. This is going to be an awesome highlights reel. I can’t wait for Billy Crystal!

American Film Industry. You cannot cut/copy this one. I know it might be strange to you, but sometimes a show makes a shitload of money because it is QUALITY and it DESERVES IT. Not because it’s a market quantifier or buzz marketed into people brains. There is no Sherlock bandwagon. Go home and write something new.

Goodbye, disposable income.
Edit: Apparently I can’t subtract $50 from $900.
Hunger Games.
Obsessed.
The first, Hunger Games, was finally available as an e-book and I downloaded it prior to my trip. I don’t quite remember when I started reading it, just that I’ve wanted to read it since I heard about the movie and Entertainment Weekly started doing these features about the cast. I mean, come on—who DOESN’T want to see the manliness of Sexy Stanley Tucci with...
Tabb H.S.
Another student with whom I attended THS died.
I think that brings the total to six since 2007. Five or six. It’s still five or six too many.
Funny thing, I don’t hear about the other York County high schools losing students/alumni like I do Tabb. Maybe I just don’t recognize it?
Either way, another reminder that life is not everlasting. Here’s to hoping there was no...

The blessing of Ryan Gosling
The holiday season is a time for counting blessings.
That’s why this seems like an appropriate time to give thanks for the greatest gift that the celebrity world has given us this year: Ryan Gosling.
(Matt Sayles/AP) - Ryan Gosling arrives at the premiere of “The Ides of March” in September.
Gosling obviously was a celebrity long before 2011, but 2011 was the year that Ryan...

Who invented motion-activated water fountains?
I’m all for saving water and going green and being environmentally conscious, but honestly. Motion-activated water fountains are the stupidest things in the world. You waste more time and energy trying to get the stupid things to work.
I hate grad school.
Specifically, this one stupid class. And the fact that everything has to be a group project. I (bleep) hate it.
This one class alone, because of this final project and the fact that I have the world’s most “my way or highway,” “I’m going to do all the work and not tell you anything” partner, is making me want to quit and drop out right now.
I did not join a...
Things that tick me off
People complaining about how hard grad school is and all they’re doing is just taking classes and getting up at 7am.
*gasp*
Oh the horror!!
Yes, grad school is hard. That’s why it’s called “grad” school, not “easy” school. I’ll let you complain about how hard grad school is because I know you’re de-stressing, but the second you start moaning...
