Inconceivable.

This week I learned two things, both of minor interest to me, let alone you, but my will to procrastinate has reached new heights.

1) In reference to International Trade -
T & A does not mean what you think it means.
This class would be far more exciting if it did.

2) I would never have survived the Tang Dynasty.
(think China, not astronauts)
I draw your attention to Article 462: All cases of those who drift aimlessly to other places are punished by ten blows with the light stick (think bamboo, not some Star Wars predecessor) for the first ten days . . . with a maximum punishment of one hundred blows with the heavy stick.

that is all.

Mine is blogs!!!!

And people telling me what theirs are.

If we don't learn from our past, then what?

I think all of us of a certain age should browse through this list of movie posters from 1985 and, well, ...I don't know. I had a storm of emotions.

Mad Men boring spoiler alert

I was trying to catch up on Mad Men and only made it to episode 10 because I couldn't get over how much this guy kept reminding me of a certain presidential candidate.


He plays Betty's father Greg, who's just recently had a stroke and keeps mistaking her for his dead wife. He even sort of fondles her once at the dinner table. I'm not sure if he really bears a striking resemblance to John McCain or if it's just that he's old, white and senile.

I was hoping I could petition for a last minute ballot change. Truthfully, I'm not sure anyone would even notice:

The boring, boring VP debate

McCain/Palin as mavericks?

fuck that.

sounds pussy to me.

I'm voting for the same candidates I have in every election since 1876
