What idiot thought it would be a good idea to get my ears pierced?
Oh yeah, that would be me.
I suck.
Latin-savvy folks: I’m working on a short film pitch for my Siggraph group, and I’m looking for pretentious-sounding term for “the study of rock, paper, and scissors.” The best I could come up with is the Dog-Latinate “petriforficmembranology” or “petriscissicmembranology.” Can anyone suggest a term that might be a little more obvious-sounding? Is there a better word than “membrana” for paper/parchment? I want this film to be smart, but not necessarily that smart. :D
How sad! Mac and PC are breaking up! Poor PC. Alone and friendless, with only the hoboes for his companions, riding the rails of the great Series of Tubes we call the Internet. We’ll miss you, Mac!
I apologize in advance for the nature of this post. Blogger was down all yesterday (when this post was written), so I couldn’t make a bunch of tiny post-chunks, and now have to get all my squee over with in one post. It’s a bit childish, but it’s how I’m feeling right now. :D
Edit: DOOM! I just checked Renata’s blog, and Blogger is working for her! Out of curiosity, I opened blogger in IE, and it’s working! I wonder if there’s some incompatability with one of my new Firefox extensions. If it’s TabMixPlus (which actually corresponds perfectly to the time Blogger hasn’t been working for me), I’m going to be annoyed. Though the goodness below more than makes up for it…
Dear Republicans,
WERE IN YOUR CONGRESZ, STEALIN’ UR BICAMURALE LEGISLACHER!
XOXO,

Today is a good day. This picture makes me happy. Santorum’s son looks like he just ate Klaus Baudelaire and is experiencing gastrointestinal distress.
Oh! Hey, Bush! Now that’s what I like to call a MANDATE.
Hey Santorum — This is what happens when you suggest a tenth of the population of the country is engaging in what is tantamount to bestiality.
Hey Rumsfeld! I really don’t have any words for you, other than “HAHAHAHHAHA!”
And Bill Napoli? You know, the unspeakable champion of South Dakota’s proposed abortion ban that didn’t make exception for rape or incest, but only if the mother’s life was in danger because she was “brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life.” Yeah, that Bill Napoli. YOUR STATE THINKS YOU’RE AN ASSHAT.
South Dakota (abortion ban defeated), Arizona (gay marriage ban defeated), and Missouri (approved a measure backing stem cell research)? Gold stars for the lot of you!
(And if that wasn’t enough, Studio 60 just got picked up for a full season!)
The House, the Senate, the Governorships, the Statehouses, Rumsfeld out on his ass, and A LIBERAL WOMAN THIRD IN LINE FOR THE PRESIDENCY. And I know we Democrats are being totally obnoxious in our success, but I don’t care.
Today ROCKED.
SWEET! TabMixPlus has been updated for Firefox 2!
AND FIFTY TRILLION QUADRILLION NATHANFILLION TIMES SWEETER? BOOYEAH AND A WOOT WOOT!
There was dancing in the streets! Or at least, dancing in the aisles of the auditorium where the College Democrats congregated to watch the election results roll in.
Ooh, I almost forgot! Nathan Fillion is going to be on Lost tomorrow night! Think it’ll be a problem that I haven’t watched the past three weeks? :D
The full trailer for Pan’s Labyrinth is here! Man, that movie can’t come out soon enough. It looks GORGEOUS!
And for the Studio 60 fans in the house, check this out! Neilsen is revising its ratings system, and Studio 60 is listed as one of the shows most “wronged” by its old model.

Most creative use of face paint ever
And I leave you with Apocalypse Ponies.
American citizens on my flist who are over the age of 18 and not convicted felons:
Get out there and
VOTE!
And watch this.
I can’t wait to do my part to kick Santorum out on his scrawny, white, homophobic butt.
I spent over two hours with my Computer Graphics TA this evening, trying to figure out why the virtual camera in my program wasn’t working. In the end, it was solved by the addition of one line of code.
I love my major.
