Dude! Dude. Lite-Brite! - declared by Liusia @ 7:18 PM Does da widdle fishy-fishy-fishy need a hug, den? Ambrose, observing the conversation related in the below blog entry, observed: 
- declared by Liusia @ 12:42 AM Poli sci has ruined us for any career outside of academia Characters: Jessie, John, Me. Setting: Our living room, 10:34 pm. [Jessie dumps a bag of promotional black and white M&Ms into a bowl and places it on the coffee table.] John: [picks up a handful of M&Ms] The black M&M [bites it in half, revealing the chocolate center] is black through and through. The white M&M [bites it in half] is like the black M&M inside, but the crispy white shell prevents it from joining the black M&M in brotherhood. Me: Oh, that's good. [pause] The bowl represents the United States, where black and white are thrown together. Yet as you see, like colors appear to cluster with like colors, resisting integration. Why? John: Perhaps that clustering is merely the way we percieve the colors. [pause] The bowl represents South Africa. The white M&Ms tried to attain dominance, but in the end, they brought suffering upon all M&Ms. [scarfs a handful] Me: The M&Ms are characters in a preteen drama on the Disney Channel, unrealistically representing a nod at utopian equality and equanimity. Yet the fact remains, [eats a white M&M] it is the white M&M that is labelled the star. John: The bowl represents the US's distorted view of race - all the M&Ms are simply black or white, labeled with an M, with no other colors, and no between shades. One drop of black makes the M&M wholly black. Me: You are way better at this than I am. John: Well, I've had more practice. Me: Ooh, ooh. The bowl and M&Ms are an iconic representation of Rousseau's idealized society. The bowl, warm, brown and all-embracing, signifies the Earth and nature, a peaceful agrarian existance holding the M&Ms to her bosom. The M&Ms lie quietly and peacefully together, one mass, individuals together striving as one, without personal possessions or ego. Jessie: Hold on. [grabs the empty M&M bag off the kitchen counter] The bag is the cave. Me: You are a genius. Jessie: The bowl is the land beneath the sun. John: Genius. Jessie: The M&Ms have left the cave. [pause] I win. - declared by Liusia @ 12:10 AM Thursday,

WWJD? He'd support the proletariat! I have study for an exam right now, so I'll make pithy observations about this tomorrow. You can go ahead and freelance pithily observe it on your own right now. ChristianAntiCommunistParty.blogspot.com SocialistCommunismIsSin.blogspot.com Dude, Jesus was totally a commie. I don't know what this fellow is on about. - declared by Liusia @ 10:08 PM Wednesday,

Mealymouthed kowtowing Whoa, it's been like a week since I last posted. I suppose I should apologize or something, but...nah. I know you all have been just pining away without me. Well, suck it up! I've pretty much been occupied with three things. Here they are, in no particular order: 1)Makin' the copies. Now, I am so very much in favor of the Freedom of Information Act. The FIA is our friend! I speak as a journalism student when I say: Hurrah FIA! On the other hand, FIA requests, especially big FIA requests, blow monkeys when you're the lowly office worker who has to fill them. I will say only this: you stupid hypocritical treehugger, wherever you are, I hope you enjoy reading the materials printed on the entire forest that had to die to fill your exorbitant and pointless request. And I think I have a repetitive stress injury from pushing the copy button so many times. sniffle 2)Interviewing for Teach for America Shut up. I'd make an awesome teacher in some backwater. Now, let's just hope TFA agrees. I'll find out by April 8th. 3)Worrying about interviewing for TFA Yeah. I'm not a big worrier, preferring as I do to go through life blithely blasé, but this whole graduation-in-a-month thing has me a little stressed, yo. So that's why I have neither been posting nor checking my email. So if you've written me, don't be feeling blue, I don't hate you. Well, maybe I do. But still, the reason I haven't emailed is that I, y'know, haven't checked my email. I'll get to you shortly. Postscript: Track 4 ("The Cuckold Comes out of the Amery") from the Master and Commander soundtrack, to which I am listening right now, makes me want to hop around like a mad thing. Alas that I am in a computer lab! Y'know, I have no idea what an amery actually is. According to Dictionary.com, it's: Amery, WI (city, FIPS 1725) Location: 45.30461 N, 92.36308 W Population (1990): 2657 (1132 housing units) Area: 7.7 sq km (land), 1.5 sq km (water) I'm pretty sure that's not where this cuckold is coming out of, though. Seeing as how I doubt Amery, Wisconsin existed during the Napoleonic Wars. It's a mystery! - declared by Liusia @ 1:33 PM Terror Huh. Well, the federal government is doing an absolutely bang-up job of tracking its citizens, as is evidenced by the fact that I am still receiving BE AFRAID emails from the St. Petersburg American Embassy. Check out this latest one. It's a real thriller. St. Petersburg, Russia March 24, 2004 This is a warden message for all American citizens. Please distribute it to your American friends and colleagues. If you are a Warden, please notify your warden group members who do not have e-mail. If you need emergency assistance, please contact us by e-mail at acsstpete@state.gov, by fax at 7-812-331-2646 or phone us at 7- 812- 331-2600. The Department of State has issued the following Worldwide Caution to be brought to the attention of American citizens residing or traveling overseas: This Worldwide Caution Public Announcement is being updated to alert U.S. citizens of the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests following the killing of Sheikh Yassin in Gaza. This supersedes the Worldwide Caution dated March 19, 2004 and expires on September 23, 2004. The Department of State is deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad in the aftermath of the recent killing of HAMAS leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in Gaza. The Department is also concerned about the potential for demonstrations and violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas as a response to the killing. A HAMAS spokesman has threatened revenge and specifically identified American interests as targets. U.S. citizens are reminded to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness. The Department of State remains concerned by indications that al-Qaida continues to prepare to strike U.S. interests abroad. Al-Qaida and its associated organizations have most recently struck in the Middle East and in Europe but other geographic locations could also be venues for attacks. Future al-Qaida attacks could possibly involve non-conventional weapons such as chemical or biological agents as well as conventional weapons of terror. We also cannot rule out that al-Qaida will attempt a catastrophic attack within the U.S. Terrorist actions may include, but are not limited to, suicide operations, hijackings, bombings or kidnappings. These may involve aviation and other transportation and maritime interests, and may also include conventional weapons, such as explosive devices. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. These may include facilities where U.S. citizens and other foreigners congregate or visit, including residential areas, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels and public areas. U.S. citizens are encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness. U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or suspend public services from time to time to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Americans abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. As the Department continues to develop information on any potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its consular information program documents, available on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition to information on the Internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-317-472-2328. So there you have it, you poor expat bastards in St. Petersburg. Sheikh Yassin has been killed in Gaza, so don't go to any "residential areas, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels and public areas." And, for Christ's sake, stay off "aviation and other transportation and maritime interests." This has been a friendly reminder from your federal government. BE AFRAID. - declared by Liusia @ 1:05 PM |
