I have a lot of reading to do. I’m behind in reading.  I have lots of reading I should have already done that will soon be past due.  I will need to postpone doing much of anything except garbage here in this space until I find some free time. I’ve worked 4 days of the last 5 at the bookstore and before I know it I’ll be back at work again.  Here’s the quote of the day from the internet:

Jesus, that man could teabag an elephant.

No, I won’t tell you where it came from or what it was in reference to.  Goodnight brave souls sailing the winds of electronic storms dropping packets of news on you in a torrent of stuff you never knew you could know.

God is PO’d about evolution!

seriously, if this isn’t one of the silliest pieces on the creationism/evolution debate I’ve ever seen, I don’t know what is. I got to this video via a link to a not viewable video on “What to do the next time porn strikes.” GO GODTUBE!

I’ve played some Soul Caliber for Game Cube, I guess it was the 2nd game? Anyway, I hope this game is giving me another reason to eventually find a Wii, and is not a PS3 exclusive title. You’ll see why I am enthused at the end of this trailer.

I laughed until I cried and then almost fell off my chair.


This kind of shit doesn’t even phase me anymore.

from BoA homepage

Take this opportunity to get a personal loan up to $35,000
What can a personal loan from Bank of America do for you?
A Bank of America personal loan is designed with your life in mind. Whether you want that extra money for large purchases, vacations, education expenses, a wedding or other major event or for consolidating your expenses, it’s there for you.

On the page expalaning the loan (here) it has a moving flash banner that rotates in and out of bold all the great things you can do with the vast sums you’ve borrowed from you bank.  The main page those has the above static image, suggesting an apparently relaxing and long imagined trip to Las Vegas Nevada.  This huger personal loan can be paid back for between “8.99% and 24.99% based on creditworthiness.” None of these most harped on reasons to borrow are even remotely sound, and the main banner is a terrifying thing. I am loath to imagine some poor schmuck taking out a loan for 35,000 dollars and running off to Vegas to piss it all away inside of ten days. The bank is suggesting to me that I take the money and run, they’re practically asking me to waste the bank’s money, ruin my credit and bury myself in debt.

This is like a gun advertisment suggesting I buy a firearm to go hunting, come home and kill my dog and while I’m at it, just go for broke and shoot myself in the foot.

Merry Christmas.
