subliminal influences?

Had a strange dream about a kangaroo looking like the Terminator that could swim and was teaching elementary school children how to read. Maybe they're sticking subliminal messages into those recall election ads.

Me, if I could actually vote, I'd vote for Camejo. The whole "let's tax the rich" thing is repeated too much but his platform actually seems quite reasonable and he seems to know what he's doing. Rather nice for a gubernatorial candidate, really.

Though I think people are being rather cruel to Schwarzenegger. At least the guy has a degree in economics, and knows something about self-promotion. Really, if you can get the media eating out of your hand you've got it made.

Being a reporter can make you rather cynical about journalism. In all honesty I think most journalists are egotistical self-promoting scum. But so are many other people. It's just that if you can control the media you can control what people think, which is why I dislike journalists so much.

Funny thing is, I guess you could say that I am what I criticize.

resistance is not futile...mwahahaha *left eye twitches*

Still trying to scheme up of ways to get out of PE. Gah. I wish I didn't have la Senorita Spandex. I seriously fear the ego of anyone who claims to be a "moral compass." Not following a moral compass. BEING the moral compass. Isn't this just mildly frightening?

The whole "enthusiasm points" system is completely bogus. You can get at most 5 points a day by showing "enthusiasm for PE" and you need 70 to get a damn free period. We're getting fewer free periods than last year under the old system of 3 periods total a year. Who do they think we are, complete idiotic morons? Probably yes. But it's not like we're not going to notice this. I bet that by the time you do reach those lousy 70 points they'll have lost count. I really wouldn't be surprised.

Olivia's trying to get me to play soccer. Nice try, but I don't think I will. I'm not much of a soccer person, and I wouldn't be able to do anything on Thursdays because of layout. Pretty much for the entire month of October after 5:30 I get to finish the rest of the layout for myself. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, except that the computers are being tempremental (two captions ended up looking really squished in last week's issue, no matter how hard I tried to fix it, and some lines mysteriously disappeared) and Johann Gutenberg is being...some unpolite name that I'm too lazy to type out. I think that Johann Gutenberg ought to be called Lucifer, instead. He (or should I say it? He/it is really an ancient HP Laserjet printer) has become even more annoying every week, and that's saying something. Last week he ran out of RAM. And the tech dept. won't be able to fix it by the earliest date, this week, perhaps. We had to photocopy all the stupid issues last week and the picture quality was just awful. Aah. He/it better be working...and what's wrong with calling he/it Lucifer? He/it certainly acts like it.

Hee hee. I found a Blockbuster that has all of the Avengers '65 AND '67 episodes on DVD! I can finally see almost all of the Emma Peel ones!

Mwahahahahahahaha. I mock you, o lowly public library system.
