It’s somewhat astonishing that I’ve never got around to mentioning this before now, considering the blog title, but: Somewhat randomly via this, I’m pretty amused that this Wikipedia page is a thing that exists. Money quote: The animal was clearly in distress, or perhaps berserk. The President confessed to having had limited experience with enraged rabbits. He was unable to reach a definite conclusion about its state of mind. What was obvious, however, was that this large, wet animal, making strange hissing noises and gnashing its teeth, was intent upon climbing into the Presidential boat. The See Also section is pretty great too.

1. Allow me to assure you that getting paid to surf Wikipedia and Amazon for manga and comics AS MY JOB is every bit as awesome as you might think it is. 2. AND I got to do so in my Silent Nut Attack shirt, thanks to Sarah reminding me I OWNED such a thing. Because apparently I forgot about it in my luggage since Christmas break. Keep in mind that it’s one of my favorite shirts. Some days, I don’t even understand myself.

The management, along with killer rabbits, squirrel aliens, and other assorted small forest animals, would like to wish you all a happy Christmas. I’m certainly having one. To those of you who showed up last night for the Traditional Christmas Eve Entertainment Night(tm)(R), I hope you all had as much fun as I had, though next time we play Solarquest, there will be less bogus rules interpretations. To those of you saddened by the lack of movie watching, sorry and if you name one you’d like to see, we can make it happen. To those of you who I haven’t seen yet, sorry and we’ll definitely get together soon. To Sarah, who will probably boggle at all the movie indoc, […]

Because I totally have nothing better to do at work than think these things up. Seriously.

Scene I Cabinet doors shop, afternoon. Loud machinery sounds in the background. KAREN enters from around the Sandmaster. Karen: Rails’re sanded, panels done. Building time draws nigh. Quick, I must away, ‘fore the gluing time approaches, and here come Pam and Erik. Exit KAREN; Enter PAM and Erik, pushing a cart of panels. Pam: But where did Karen go? Erik: Well, it was like this, see… Scene II Cabinet doors shop, afternoon. Oddly quiet. KAREN and ERIK are […]

Let’s see. So at work, somehow everyone’s having this conversation about puberty and balls dropping which somehow evolved from oral sex and nachos, and Tye walks by, and he’s like “Careful, or they might corrupt you.” “Oh,” I say, “I’m already far more corrupt than that.” LPSes to the razor-bladed dildo-shaped courtesy phone please, LPSes.

Some gaming humor. First, Chad said something tonight that sounded like “I see armored squirrels” or so. Which is cool, because, well, armored squirrels. Some of you may remember a previous episode wherein the party was attacked from across a river by some bandits. Cleric casts a bridge spell, and my ranger ki frenzies and starts charging across the bridge. Only to come to the realization that it’s 30′ too short. But, well, frenzied. So he leaps anyway, rolls a natural 20 on the jump check, but still comes up 10′ short…and then gets shot by arrows, goes unconcious, and drowns. Keep that in mind. So, trekking to recon this keep with undead, etc. Standard. Except there was a bridge. […]

The first strikes in our campaign against the tyrranical human kulak burgoisie huntist-capitalist oppressors have been made! Viva la revolucion! Courtesy of Regina’s mom, who’s awesome for continuing to find this stuff, and Regina, who keeps awesomely forwarding it to me: IS IT POSSIBLE IT’S NOT THE BIRDS? [Warren Bell] Is it maybe the deer? Have the formerly innocent-appearing woodland creatures used the avian menace as a cover, all the while lulling us into a perilously false state of ease? A deer goes after Gov. Tim Pawlenty, breaking windows. A deer attacks a home in Arkansas, breaking windows. A deer rampages in a hospital in Michigan, breaking windows. All in the last three days?

However, as I have a ton of stuff to get done before I apply to grad school tomorrow and before I take my Praxis IIs Saturday, soon does not equal now. However, I WILL mention a couple of things, the first being that I finally got my Praxis II scores from the previous test, which turn out to be: Social Studies: Content Knowledge – 191 of 200 Social Studies: Interpretation and Analysis – 165 of 200 As to that first test, I have this nice little certificate here that says, among other things… “Congratulations!

Dad: Well, in this park where we went, the last time we were there, there were tons of rabbits of all different colors. We come back this time, nothing but black rabbits. So the black rabbit clan won. Little did those poor other rabbits know, they stumbled on the secret rabbit ninja training grounds…

And it came to pass in those days that it was summer. And God looked upon summer, and was not pleased: God: You know, rabbit advisor, this whole “blazing heat” thing? Yeah. Maybe not such a great idea. Rabbit Advisor: *wipes brow* Yeah God. It’s pretty hot out here. I could use some refreshment. God: Say, that’s a good idea. *creates the Icee* Here, try this. Rabbit Advisor: *slurp* Dude. This is great! *slurp* God, you’re the Man. And so it was that Icees appeared amongst the small forest animals of the world. And lo, there was much rejoicing. And slurping. The management would like to thank Target Stores, Inc, for being awesome and being like the only place around […]

You’ve discovered the squirrel-rabbit zombie conspiricy. You must be destroyed! Suzanne: Really, the baby squirrel was almost unbearbly cute Me: It’s a stealth mechanism. You say “Oh! How cute!” And you reach down to pet it, and it runs up your arm and rips your throat out. Fear the baby squirrel assassins. Suzanne: This one must’ve been a rookie. All he did was run in front of the car, and then when we stopped and got out to see if we hit it, sniffed our shoes. […]

So, as part of my continuing efforts to get into grad school for the whole HS teaching thing, I got to take the Miller Analogies Test today. Now, you’ve all done these things at one point or another. But here’s 120 of them to do in 60 minutes. Not so bad, really. I happen to r0x0rz standardized tests, as it were. While waiting to start, I was having flashbacks to the SAT, my last super-huge test, wherein I walked in without studying a minute and got 640/580 on it, which was more than adequate for a thing that got me up at 7am and screwed with me a lot. I figure the MAT will likely be the same way, though […]

This, besides being a comedic gold mine the likes of which bash.org can only gape at in awe, is also a reminder that Whir should probably make his archives pages spiffier and get them to, say, match the rest of his site.

As it happens, yesterday was a fabulous day. Bright sunshine, warm, perfect day to blare music and drive down the road a lot, which is what I ended up doing. This was prefaced by an excellent weekend wherein the parental types left for the coast, and I had the house to myself for three days, which as you can imagine was just fine by me. I also watched the remade Manchurian Candidate, which was exceedingly cool in a very creepy way. Kind of reminded me of Fight Club, in a way. I shall now need to acquire and watch the original. I also read all the way through Watership Down, which although it contained no actual rabbits in space*, was […]

I was actually going to say some things, but instead I’ll just post this email from Suzanne, and let it go at that. I don’t know. I really don’t. No, wait, I do. It’s because your warped mind sometimes spits out these images that scream “draw me!”, and if nothing else, I’m one for listening to the non-corporal voices. Ok, that and another one of my lectures got cancelled today. None the less, rare it is that I giggle so much when I’m drawing. For this, I have you to thank.

(Talking about the SATs) starflier06: On the test, there were these 2 questions starflier06: One was a “find what’s wrong with this sentence” starflier06: and talked about roots starflier06: the other was a math problem starflier06: which dealt with increase in squirrel populations starflier06: So clearly the squirrel aliens are gaining influence over at ETS. TontoMarius: Woot. (and on a totally other note) starflier06: Still working on the parentals, btw TontoMarius: *nod* starflier06: The gist of it is this: were you female, under 20, flamingly gay, or a eunuch, there would be no problem. Since you are, I told them, AFAIK, none of these things, they’re still considering. TontoMarius: *laugh* starflier06: I thought you’d find that amusing.

So I kind of told Regina I’d do a political post today in honor of the Iraqi elections. But first, I’d like you all to witness Darth Fuzzy’s pictorial debut. Woot. That having been said, let’s talk about Iraq for a bit. I’ve got a whole host of things I want to say on the subject, but let’s start by noting the vast numbers of Iraqis that showed up and voted in the elections with a considerable amount of pride, risking life and limb to do so. Pretty much no matter who ends up winning said elections, the mere fact that they showed up and did so is worth an awful lot. In the sense that our two biggest goals […]

Things like this drawing of Suzanne’s. Also, something Regina said: [17:16] starflier06: They’re about mice, rabbits, and small forest animals banding together against evil small forest animals. [17:16] TontoMarius: Hee. [17:16] starflier06: They’re right up your alley.

Or let it melt, actually. Bloody snow. Hasn’t snowed here in like, 4 years or something to that effect. A little bit last year, but other than that… Trying to figure out at what point I became hostile to snow, too. I mean, it’s snow. You frolic in it and play and throw it at people. Fun times, right? Well, at some point, D&D became much more important. Don’t ask me how, maybe I grew up (wince) or something, but there it is. As snow prevented me from going to the weekly D&D game yesterday, I am…displeased.

Courtesy of Marechal, wildly out of context: “Secret police perform useful functions in their service to the state and fear motivates the population and the machinery of government. Squirrel aliens with M-4s is just madness, communist madness.” In other news, I finished my paper. It is truly teh suck, but I finished it. EDIT: For today’s other wildly out of context Marechal quote… “I look good in a Soviet black KGB overcoat though with the armband and hammer&sickle medals.” At last, we know the truth…

Er, no. Really. It wasn’t my idea to begin with, particularly. But I will admit to a certain morbid fascination with the title, so here we are. At any rate, I find it slightly morally offensive to have to get up before dawn to go to a final which will last me 20 minutes. I really do. Nevermind that I’ve been getting up at 5 and 6 lately. Last night’s final was slightly amusing, despite the fact that I spent all day with a raging Godzilla-devastates-Tokyo-and-then-for-fun-does-it-again level headache, followed by the mother of all stomachaches.

Of those, I have the one book done, partway into the second, ignoring the paper because it’s far too easy.
