No joke, I brought an entire grocery bag full of Trader Joe's snacks to work a few weeks back. Now I've got the munchies and I don't want any of them. The apple and orange sitting on my desk look equally unappealing. Stupid afternoon snack attacks.

I love Wikipedia in all its timewasting allure. Today's featured article on Gropecunt Lane was no exception. Zod bless the zany yet practical street naming schemes of the Middle Ages.

Cafeteria. Cow-orker. With the insidious political presumptions. No, not a solution to an updated game of Clue (but the idea does sound kinda cool), but an ongoing source of frustration. This time, the previous offender proudly trotted out the Class grades demonstration of Socialism example, mentioning that he's forwarded it to several people. Thankfully, he left it hanging amidst a chorus of verbal high-fives.

I will admit that I am far from well-versed when it comes to political systems and their theoretical and practical implementations. However, I am well and truly sick of people invoking socialism as some kind of bogeyman with Obama's face. Correct me if I'm wrong, but would it be a valid comparison in making that situation analogous to our current system, that only the A students would get to control who gets what grades in the classroom, easily shutting out anyone else from also getting As? Or is there a better way to put it?

I'm up to thirteen entries in my fic list. I'm not normally triskaidekaphobic, but leaving it sitting at that number is making me slightly uneasy. Now I have an Star Trek crack!fic and RPF battling it out in my head for the next spot. Hm.

I can almost smell Friday from here. Sweet, delicious Friday.
