Creativity

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

Look! It's in a real store, even!

October

And there's something about a chilly, rainy day that makes me want to goof off.

... even more than usual, I mean.

Quote of the Day

from Stephen Colbert: "How are you supposed to protest an abuse of authority, when an authority figure has told you not to?"


And here's a bit more for context:

Last night, I told you all about the University of Florida student who asked John Kerry a question — and ended up with a sack full o' taser. I was particularly impressed by the response of his peers, who, at a moment's notice, sat back and watched.

Well, a student present at the tasering responded. One Sir D.W.D. astutely said, "Stephen Colbert stated we stood idly around, not helping. How could we help with police officers telling us to back off …"

My point exactly. How are you supposed to protest an abuse of authority, when an authority figure has told you not to? There is a reason you received that knighthood, "Sir" D.W.D .!

Burn Baby Burn

I confess, I have a particular hatred of resumés.  It probably started when I first had to create my own, but has long since gone beyond that.  The damn things just nauseate me, no matter whose they are.  It doesn't help that you can't spell it correctly without those wretched accent marks.  Ugh.  I can't even explain it.  It's like the cockroach reaction.  It doesn't make sense that they're any worse than any other vermin, but for some reason they are.  I see a resumé scurrying up my screen and I just want to knock it off and stomp on it until I can't tell what it used to be anymore.

Scrappy

He's definitely got a little Captain in him!
