I started my new job. My bus leaves at 6:46AM into L.A. and at 6:08PM back home. It’s a pretty sweet schedule. Better than getting to work at 6:30 like previous years.
Anyway, even in the first week, this is not a “having a life outside of work” type of job.
Thank god it’s very much rewarding (in the “making a difference in schools and kids’ lives” and “wow, I’m actually using my masters degree” sense, not in the “peace out, debt!” sense).
Then of course, there is this:
Shot 14 times? 12 times in the back? (via diff kitchen)
It’s gonna be Phatrick’s birthday party. Roll out! (and yes that is lambo’s octopus)
Big day tomorrow. Be back with recap, but wish me luck/fingers crossed all that good stuff.
Spotted at Boing Boing…
THE MEXICAN JUMPING BEAN IS UNDOUBTEDLY AMONG ONE OF OUR CREATOR’S
BEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IT UNDOUBTEDLY GIVES MORE PLEASURE AND
INTRIGUE FOR THE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER CREATION.…
REGRETTABLY, THEY ARE DOOMED WHEN THEY LEAVE THEIR NATURAL HABITAT IN MEXICO. THERE ARE NO HOST PLANTS THAT WILL PERMIT THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR LIFE CYCLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT WILL KILL THEM FROM HEAT, DEHYDRATION, FREEZING. THE MOTH SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO FLY FREE IF THEY EMERGE FROM THE BEAN. A SCENIC TRIP AS IT WERE.
WIN!
1. This country needs an experienced president, who has proven himself. Senator McCain has. Obama has not.
2 The Dem Party needs to fully understand that we will not tolerate having the nominee selected. They cannot steal the nomination from the candidate who won the majority of the popular vote. They cannot condon sexism, as they did. They cannot tell us to “fall in line” when they screwed over us. They need a huge lesson, and to be held accountable. Beating Obama by voting for McCain will help accomplish that.I do not agree with McCain. But I feel that he loves this country and has the ability to ensure our security. Obama will place this country at risk. I have accepted that it is necessary to bite the bullet for the short term, give the Reps the White House for four more years, in order to make the necessary long term gains. McCain is much more tolerable to me than a lot of other Reps would be.
My vote is a protest vote. It is also a vote to save this country from a corrupt egomaniacal, poser who served in the senate for a couple of days and said – screw this. I’ll just be president. I’m half AA, that’s the only qualification necessary. The rest of the progressives jumped on his bandwagon because he is AA – for no other reason.
In my experience, skin color, alone, does not qualify one for any position – certainly not president.
Posted by, quite unsurprisingly, someone with the handle “Southern Knight,” here. Sheesh.
Cruising here with a tall glass of the good drink, listening to Pase Rock live at the Do-Over (LA’s second best party after Funkmosphere in my opinion), and visualizing doing it big in New York and some upcoming projects.
-Thanks to Jeff Chang, Tamlyn Tomita was on my screen tonight and I am never opposed to that. (If you’re not following Jeff’s twitter….get on that for real. DNC coverage is money (“Mitt Romney just stepped on my adidas. DICK!” Next post: “His hair looked good tho.”). (Please to direct all “Capski is a Jeff Chang Fan Boy” correspondence to my junkmail folder, by the way. Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop helped me teach research and sourcing information. For that: eternal gratitude.)
-I’m re-reading Debating Diversity for the like 9th time. Mostly just to get that classic righteous indignation that Samuel Huntington engenders.
-I’m also reading a 4th grade level survey of greek mythology illustrated by Rodney Matthews. Every one of his drawings in the book is better than this:
-Oh, and Hillary had her speech. Olberman and Matthews were gushing, to an almost absurd level. It’s one of those things that I really need to wait and see with. I didn’t cringe though. Just wish she addressed readiness to lead. “I support Barack Obama. A man ready to lead us into blah etc blah.” Just to kinda seal that junk that is getting thrown back from the GOP. (I was sketched to hear that Mark Penn is helping with Bill’s speech though). Main thing: It was fully on message right?
