Note to self: "Should we abolish the electoral college?" is a bad essay question.

I'd like a widget that would switch a blog's posts from reverse-chronological to chronological order and back again.

Is it worth being exhausted all day tomorrow to go over to the random chick I haven't talked to in over a year's house for some likely action? She's nothing special, but she's nice and I know I could have some fun.

I should be ashamed of myself, but sometimes the ease is not in line with the reward. I'll still try to make it to work in the morning. Or at least I'm telling myself that now. Goodnight, folks.

Next I rang up the Dolphin Hotel and asked to speak to my receptionist friend by name. I didn't know how far this would go, but the operator connected us and Miss Yumiyoshi even remembered me

385
«You out some dough?» I asked.
«No, I don't think so either.»
Now!»
«Good,» he said. «Many thanks for everything. I'll give Ame a call tomorrow. Did the money hold out, by the way?»
«Great, but you get tired of it six times a month.»
«Well, about ten days ago,» Yumiyoshi began, «I was rid­ing in the elevator down to the parking garage. It was around eight at night. The elevator went down, the door opened, and suddenly I was in that place again. Exactly like before. It wasn't in the middle of the night, and it wasn't on the sixteenth floor. But it was the same thing. Totally dark, moldy, kind of dank. The smell and the air were exactly the same. This time, I didn't go looking around. I stood still and waited for the elevator to come back. I ended up waiting a long time, I don't know how long. When the elevator finally got there, I got in and left. That was it.» «Did you tell anyone about it?» I asked. «You think I'm crazy?» she said. «After the way they reacted the last time? Not on your life.» «Yeah, better not tell a soul.»
So I kept working

Does anyone really prefer video to text on their favorite websites? I really hate how a lot of them seem to be switching to video content (Slate, PFT, and The Onion off the tope of my head).

I agree. If I wanted to watch tv, I'd watch tv on my tv, not on a 3 inch diagonal window on my computer.

By far, in my experience, the worst offender is MLB. I want to check someone's opb, and the next thing you know, I've got some highlight screaming at me.

This is yet another reason why baseball-reference.com RAWKS.
they were a chick hanging out with her friends at a bar, the Phillies would be the 320 lb chick with a nose wart and a dick - Trent Steele

Now you REALLY need to dump that sony phone and get something windows mobile (or palm or symbian). Watching slingbox on your handheld is extremely handy (especially during Phillies season).

I'm not even posting that much.

I think there's some merit to keeping important regional paintings in their home city. The PMA was given an opportunity to match and went balls-out to make it happen. You upset about it?
