I find your lack of issues…disturbing (Part II).

posted by Leila in , ,

So, coming hot and fresh off the heels of the last debate, I bring you the latter half of a two-part series featuring Leila Vader and her haughty condescension towards the US public! Would that I could give middle America a hard stare while curling my fingers and force it to metaphorically choke on things [...]

I find your lack of issues…disturbing (Part I).

posted by Leila in , ,

Backstory: In an ill-fated attempt to stay somewhat connected to home life while away at college, I started frequenting my local newspaper’s website to maintain a vague idea of hometown events. One day, there was a small blurb issuing a call to anybody who was interested in giving their two cents on the presidential/veep debates [...]

Effing television

posted by Seth in , , ,

I’ve been watching too much television lately, and I’ve generally been doing too much of nothing. I think Leila was right when she told me not to bring my television along to college. I’m still mildly addicted to Election coverage, and it’s difficult to concentrate once I have some within my grasp. Maybe once the [...]

Walk to the nearest stairway. Do not use the elevator.

12:52am is just as good a time for a new entry as any, right?
Seth and I have many quirks; one of them is that we sometimes stay up rather late talking to each other, and in the process of talking, we get so goddamn bored of each other that one of us (well, me, since [...]

I don’t like Atheist Literature! Nyah! Nyaaaah! Lookit me!!!

posted by Seth in , , ,

(This post was inspired by a forum topic that I encountered recently at one of my old haunts. I thought the meat of it was an opinion that I held strongly enough that putting it to paper (so to speak) would be appropriate. Unfortunately, my response was strung over a few posts, so if it [...]

Power trippin’.

posted by Leila in ,

No matter how hard you try, there’s no way you can completely avoid them. They’re everywhere, in your bosses and teachers and politicians and team captains and what-have-you. They’re the type of people who take a great deal of condescending joy in pointing out what you’ve done wrong and have the special talent of being [...]

Cover thing and sensitivity issues.

posted by Leila in , ,

Remember that cover of Black Cadillacs that I said I might do? Well…there it is. I’m not exactly thrilled with it, but given my equipment (Kodak Easyshare + Baby Taylor sorely in need of a neck adjustment), I could have done a lot worse. Dynamics weren’t what I would have liked them to be, [...]

My sister writes better than this.

posted by Leila in

I’ll be frank with all of you: I’m not here to make an actual post. Blogging is, for me, a digitized amalgamation of life’s little mundanities, but unfortunately current issues are altogether too important to spend my time rambling about here — at least until they’re somewhat over with, anyway. But we’ve been a little [...]

Good morning, kiddo.

posted by Seth in , , ,

There seems to be rash of matronly women who want to view me as some sort of affectionately unrelated grandson. I’m not really sure what has spurred Dorreen the cleaning woman and what’sherface the dining hall ID scanner to regularly address me as “kiddo”, but I’ve been idly wondering about it for a few weeks [...]

Saluting the On-Going March of Science.

posted by Seth in , ,

Beware, miscellany awaits you!
I can’t tell you how fortunate it is that my shocking, come from behind advance to puberty was coincided by a steep rise in the amount of razor blades society has deemed fit to put on a razor. I understand that there were devices that existed before the Era of Many [...]
