Stupid weather...

What the hell is up with all the cold weather lately? It's May for crying out loud, not March! I am currently in my computer room, huddled next to my space heater because I refuse to turn the heat back on.

I've been watching anime (Furuba, anyone?) all weekend, in between finishing up (or avoiding finishing) my final project for my Museum Informatics class. Right now I really wish my place had a kotatsu. Must be a great place to do homework. I usually live on the floor anyway, since I like to spread everything I'm working on in a horseshoe around me.

And then later I'd take a trip to the local onsen and soak, followed by a good meal. Ahhh....

But that will have to wait until later. Back to school work in my chilly home.

I also fucking love my job

You know what's even better than being paid to play...uh, I mean test game consoles and portable DVD players all day today?

Choosing to watch Office Space for the test DVD.

I totally fucking LOVE The Onion

Best (and scariest) Onion article ever!

New 'Anti-Abortion Pill' Kills Mother, Leaves Fetus Alive

Frighteningly enough, I'm sure that there are many rabid right-wingers out there that would think a "last morning ever" pill (named UR-86, figure it out yourself) would be useful. Scary shit, man.

I'm so proud of my monkey!

One of my monkeys (read: student workers) is the 500,001st graduate from the UIUC. Very cool. Okay, a random honor, but cool nonetheless.

News Gazette (local paper)

And what does Mark get for this honor? A free mug. Heh.

Cuidado: Vomito de Gato

Hee!

I really, really could use one of these signs, especially for early mornings when the "hurka hurka hurka" noise wakes me up, and I have to groggily file away the information that I need to be veeeerry careful stepping out of bed when I get up.

hmm...think I'll add this to my summer craft list...
