• On the first day of class my space science professor said she\’s an atheist. I think I\’m going to like this class.

  • Viva la resistance! Death to SUVs! An unknown group torched 30 Chevy Suburbans and Tahoes at a dealership in Oregon. I hearby declare open season on SUVs.

  • I went to my 8:00 AM space science class this morning. I haven\’t had an 8:00 class since freshman year, when I had writing. I overslept for every lecture and completely missed it one time. Luckily the space class is actually interesting, and the professor seems cool. Well, 10 more weeks of waking up at an ungodly hour.

  • Kids, don\’t make fun of islands in Thailand like I did in the previous post. I\’m sure the Thai laugh at our city names too, such as Yeehaw Junction, FL and Krypton, KY.

  • And now it\’s time for Fun With Phonics!

    \"Phuket

    Notice the Giant sticker on the traffic light?

  • Interesting piece about fake encores. I always wondered what the point of encores are. You know the band\’s obviously going to come back and play more songs. Why not relax and wait quietly?

  • You gotta love that Uday Hussein (Saddam\’s son) and his crazy April Fools jokes. Increasing food rations? Oh man, he slays me.

  • I managed to survive 5 hours of classes today. Barely. I haven\’t eaten anything all day, so the first thing I eat when I get back is candy. Mmmm-mmm. Well, it\’s close to dinner time, so I don\’t want to eat anything big that\’ll ruin my appetite. I\’m turning into a cross between a 7-year-old and my parents.

  • Watch Christopher Walken kickin\’ it old school in Fatboy Slim\’s \”Weapon of Choice\” video. Who would\’ve thought he could move like that?

  • Also at MOMA is Marcel DuChamp\’s Fountain. I first saw a picture of it in art class. I really like the idea of ready-made, \”found art\” and the fact that everyday objects can be considered art. I especially like Fountain, as it\’s just a urinal but it also has a minimal beauty to it. Anyway, there\’s a big difference between seeing a picture of an artwork in a textbook, and seeing the actual piece in person. It\’s much bigger than I thought it would be. And it really is just a urinal with \”R. Mutt\” written on the side.
