The Revolution will be Televised
If anyone else is on Twitter and wants to help the innocent protesters but doesn't know how to set up a proxy, set your Twitter location to Tehran and your time zone to GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut Iranians' access to the internet down. Cut & paste & pass it on.

It's no secret the medical community is closed minded and out for a buck, not to,"cure",you:
When Paul Ewald is speaking of "susceptibles," he's not necessarily referring to a subset of the population earmarked for a particular infection by virtue of a particular vulnerability. He's referring to himself. He's referring to the portion of humanity he calls "the uninfected." He's referring to us. We're all susceptibles in Ewald's view, because Ewald, a fifty-two-year-old evolutionary biologist at the University of Louisville, has taken up the evolutionary point of view of the pathogen — the germ. He has gotten into arguments with scientists predisposed to think that most germs are content to live as domestically as dogs. "No," he says, "they're out to have dinner, and their dinner is us. What science has to figure out is what makes some of them voracious and some of them not."
All that remains is for it to evolve so that an infected human can sneeze or cough it to a susceptible human, and we're all gonna... but no. That's the fallacy. That's the mistake — the colossal mistake — being made by experts too specialized in their respective disciplines to be expert in basic evolutionary understanding.( Read more... )

righteous rant here
I was one hour from completing an essay that I spent a week on and was ready to print when the f*cking printer led said, magenta low. Now that's pretty normal, but I've never printed ANYTHING in color?! HOLY SH*T BATMAN every time the goddamn printer woke me up with it's cleaning cycle, it was using a little of the ink from all the color cartridges! I googled it and came across epic rants about how brother is the only company that designed its printers to jettison ink to reward their loyal customer with this sneaky underhanded kick in the face. In addition to using all the ink, the piece of sh*t disables use of the greyscale printing once one color runs out, and I was aghast to find not only was the printing function disabled but so were the other functions-including the scanning and faxing features which use no ink at all?!
Holy mother of God! How many people were screwed over by brother? Probably in the tens of thousands.
I found a way of masking the sensor and got it to print-two days later, but surprise surprise there was no replacement ink cartridges in any stores I went to. A guy who posted in the epic forum rant about brother said he went to the store he purchased his from and was amazed to hear from the sales clerk that these things were always on sale so cheap because nobody would buy them if they weren't. So, to make a long story short, there is a way of circumventing the auto clean that involves hacking the driver but it's easier to just leave it unplugged and turn it on once a week or so to make sure your heads don't dry up.
The sheer idiocy of brother is astounding, a company representative posted in the forum threatening us with legal action for hacking the printer back into normal use and was thoroughly flamed by about 100 other guys who are trying to get a class action lawsuit together to pay all the consumers who were f*cked over by the brother printer seizing up at a crucial time(good luck). The end.

I've experienced it...as is evidenced by my previous entries-specifically ...my first love-...uhhh I'd rather not speak of it, suffice to say...I thought I was in love and she broke my "indestructible" heart.
Further to this evening, my friend, invited me over, after meeting each other ...unfortunately I know she has a "steady" bf...it is now several hours later...I'm not feeling well about it...I decided to not indulge our lesser desires and didn't meet her at her apartment as she asked-omg she now hates me!, because I thought I should be home when my 9 year old daughter wakes up...go me. (this seems like the wrong thing to do...)
but I know it`s right.

Read Katrina's lj, (if laptop use is possible), barring that, try to find a spot out of the prof/"meeting giver's" line of sight and go to sleep, if that's impossible, check out the other people in the class/meeting and pick out those who I would hook up with, and those who stand out for whatever weird reason. As a very last resort-take notes.

This is taken from a contest in the States, where teachers submit the worst analogies, similes, and metaphors from essays written by students. The only problem is, much of it is truly funny and inventive. Schools turn pupils into robots that churn out dreary formulaic prose as colourless as porridge. I'm very glad that I dropped out before that happened to me. Read this stuff; is it great or what?
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
14. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.
15. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
16. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.
17. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
18. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
19. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
20. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
21. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
22. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
23. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
24. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

When I saw the bum pushing his grocery cart down the street, at first I felt sorry for him. Then I thought,"Well, no wonder you're a bum! Look at all the dumb things you bought!"

Je ne veux pas travailler! I'm so tired and it's so borrring there! I don't wanna call in sick either. Meh at least it's easy. My daughter is finally getting a visit with her 1/2 sister Mia. I'm so happy for her, they haven't seen each since last September. Oh crud!*slowly starts getting ready for work*
I hung out with a friend and his bizarre work buddy and wife. They were hardcore suburbanites who had this weird look of terror in their eyes. It seemed as though they thought I was a gang member or something. I wasn't dressed up or anything, maybe it was because of my "wolverine"goatee-kinda makes me look biker-ish and they shop at wal-mart or whatever.I'm shaving it off as soon as I see the movie. I forced them to like me and did the mind control thing I was taught in a work related psychology course:make them trust you, make them think you like them and that you are like them, lol. I asked them a bunch of questions about their lives and told them some similar funny stories, etc.
I wish I had another week off.

Sucked, but I made it through 4 of them, 1 to go and then I'm off for reading week!
I'm up in my favourite of the university bars chillaxing with a brewski, this is way better than booking it from class to class all week.
I barely passed a crap essay because I wrote it in half an hour and the girls who marked it are total frickin sticklers for proper apa formats etc. (writing bs that is way too specific to get into). My bro is being a dumbass as usual. I thought he'd be gone but apparently he decided to "help out" his ex instead of getting an apartment with her. Haha, if helping out means coming back penniless and her not having an apartment is help nowadays I guess. He owes for back rent and food, etc, and his ex is now a homeless person living out of a homeless shelter with no possessions other than her duffel bag. All her furniture is gone, her art, etc. even her clothing is down to one or two outfits. What the fuck is wrong with them? He had hours of overtime racked up and is broke in a couple days with none of said ca$h going towards rent? I guess it probably went into the wise investment of crack highs of roughly 10 minutes or so per rock.
I really need to get out of here with my kid before we get dragged down by some sort of CRACKHEAD DRAMA!
I suppose the only consolation is that she isn't attractive enough to even become a crack ho, at least not in this harsh canadian weather. So instead they just spend whatever money they earn doing whatever it is they do in one night and then starve for a couple weeks until they can do it again, pretty f*cked up, huh?
On the bright side, I have a week off. I hope to see some of the friends I have had to neglect the last few months, and spend some quality time with the lovely little girl. I have to take an online stats test before 10 pm tomorrow night. Yuck! I almost threw up! jk lol
I think I'll bug my friends and start phoning them at work, since my classmates are leaving soon.
blah, blah blah, wtf was I talking about here anyways?

They charged me annual fees, charged me an overlimit fee and THEN processed my payment all on the same day. F*CK you Capital One!!!*gives the finger*
In other news, there was talk of "boobies" around here lately. My little child got her first bra today with her granny and auntie. It was so funny, later that night she begged,"Can I take my bra off now?" lol-she thought it was pretty cool at first but was wondering if she had to wear the damn thing to bed-Ouch!

I accidentally neglected to purchase my text book for a bio midterm tomorrow and only got the study guide!!
I'll have to,"wing it", and get the actual textbook, which apparently looks exactly the same on the covers with the minor small print"Study guide"missing from the cover. I opened it up and found it was full of crossword puzzles of taxonomy and dinosaurs and sh*t! I had a serious WTF? moment there, let me tell you. Anyway, I'm praying it will be basic common sense stuff, amoebas, structures, the kingdoms, etc. What I'm really worried about is that she will load it up with incredibly similar answers that will definitely make winging it more difficult. Thank god my english prof gave us the multiple choice test cheat guide, which requires no studying, lol, he's hilarious!
Another thing I found out is never had to take this many courses(5) in a term to be considered full-time status, I only had to take 3. I'm dropping at least one next semester.
