According to Fox News, the Orange Taylor trial has been reopened. Last year, the jury was hung because there wasn't enough proof to show he killed a student at my university. They claimed he found her and just beat off.
If I break into someone's room and find a corpse, I'm definitely going to start wanking then steal some of their stuff.
Cliché as it may be, I sometimes wish the Boondock Saints were real. |

Ok. According to the status of at least 20 people on facebook, Heath Ledger died.
For the record, yes, I did have to google him to figure out who he was.
I also googled "reasons I should care that Heath Ledger died". Nada.
After removing the quotes, half of the pages contained something to the effect of '117 Malaysian children died since you started reading this article. But then again, some junkie actor's self induced death is much more tragic.'
It's the end of the day, and I somehow have a little bit of faith that the internet isn't all idiots. |

I highly recommend going there sometime. It's like being in an 80's ghost town. The directory is a joke since half the stores no longer exist, and about a third of the remaining stores are going out of business. The entire mall was poorly lit and outdated. The theatre looked just as I remember it ten years ago, and just added to the ambience. One of the fountains has no water in it. I wanted to get this one brand of cologne I like, and had been told there was a store that specialized in hard-to-find fragrances. 'Was', as it turns out, does not mean 'is'. There was a candy store I remember going to when I was just a little fat kid. Nope.
There's a quiet little restaurant that offers coney dogs and pizza slices for a dollar, free coffee, and hot cocoa for fifty cents. They pop machine has an 'out of order' sign on it, but I've worked in foodservice long enough to know that low volume stores do that if their stock tends to expire before it gets used. There was a middle aged couple as well as a girl about my age all working there, and a little girl who was likely the daughter of the older woman. I was there for about a half hour around noon. Not counting me, five customers for a total of about $20.
I went into a gift shop and a pushy old man, presumably the owner, insisted that I should know exactly what I'm looking for and should look more carefully and walk slower. I resisted the urge to inform him of the fact that his lack of business tact was probably a contributing factor in the decline of his enterprise. I suppose it'd be difficult enough for him to go back to working for someone else, and I'm not so disposed as to think I'm better than my fellow man. Seriously, though, even at 70% off, his prices were outrageous for the crap he was vending.
There was a card and coin show going on, and I noticed a flyer that said that it was $35 for the first table and $10 for each additional one. There were maybe three or four different vendors there, and I doubt any of them made any profit.
I wouldn't mind going back there for the cheap food, though. |

| Local Tax Hike |
|

On the ten o'clock news:
To help deal with the state's huge budget problem, the income tax has been increased from 3.9% to 4.35%.
A single person making $73,000 a year is looking at losing $313 more per year.
The local news interviews some local jackasses who were complaining about how they wouldn't be able to afford to go bowling and get off the streets (the reporter was in a bowling alley).
I'm just trying to figure out the tv station's demographic.
I'm looking at paying about an extra fifty cents this year. There goes that new 'Homies' figurine. I suppose that this is the true meaning of sacrifice. |

I'm doing the work of three people, and getting paid next to nothing.
The only applicant for the bake shop manager position is a guy with a [two year?] culinary arts degree and absolutely no bakery experience. If he gets the job, it would be about two weeks before he started.
I was thinking of applying for the job myself, except Michigan law states that student workers can't have more than 29 hours a week. Fuck the bullshit law and fuck the union. |

In Michigan, there's a law stating that to move out, we have to give 30 days notice. I guess.
It might just be our landlord's way of trying to screw us out of even more money, but we might as well capitalize on the opportunity. I'll likely be moved out by the end of the month, but our 30 days does not expire until September 19th.
We plan on leaving some furniture and other junk.
The place would be empty, but habitable for around 20 days.

I was excited last week when I found some marijuana growing on campus, in an area for which I was the only maintainer (this summer, at least) who'd actually been on foot in the area and taken the time to look at the plants.
I told a couple friends, and showed around the picture I took. People were excited. Except maybe it was just poison oak.
Nope. Strawberry plants.
Fuck.
The funny part is, I don't even smoke. |

So there's this one dude I used to see all around campus, and I'd talked with him a few times and he annoyed the piss out of me because he was just an asshole about everything. How did I find him on facebook? I was stalking friends and saw a wall post from some chick I remember some credible people said had herpes and looked at a picture of her boyfriend.
I believe in karma. |

I drank way too much (after not having been drunk for six or seven months), took a batch of sleeper cell, and have a four or five hour gap in my memory.
What I do recall is hallucinating, thinking I was dying (which wasn't too far off), waking up in the fetal position on the garage floor, and having a 10 hour hangover & recoil from hell.
Other than that, I'm feeling good. |

I almost passed out at work, took a test that until midnight, I thought was on Tuesday, I have a headache, the apartment smells, it's hot in here, and Matt might have diabeetis.
Stupid things can turn my day around. It's nice to know that somewhere in the world (Russia, probably) there is at least one person who I can truly relate to. |

Today, a woman watched a coworker of mine picking up cigarette butts as she smoked(outside Halle library), and afterwards proceeded to flick the cigarette on the ground in an area he'd just cleaned.
I often wonder what it'd be like to never have done any real work in my entire life. Maybe from her perspective, she was justified. Filthy proles. |

FOR THE LOVE OF ALLAH HOW DID I GET AN A- IN MY SPANISH CLASS?!?!?!
I missed at least five classes (we could miss two before losing points), and didn't turn in about half of the homework, and I missed two quzzes.
I was actually considering asking Cèré for a pity C so I wouldn't have to retake the class. |
