So I work in an arcade. I suppose it goes without saying that I'm not in it for the glory. Then again, I'm not really in it for the paycheck either. So what does that leave? Simply the kicks. Strange though it might seem to few of you, working in a 24hr arcade is often, in fact, entertaining. Nothing too exciting, just your run of...

Doctoral student Ken Stanton, 29, said he resented that Cho was getting airtime while many of the victims, such as his friend, Jeremy Herbstritt, remained anonymous.
"I'm sick of it," he said. "It's like you can't get away from it -- every time I walk by a TV, there it is."
Stanton vowed to try to appear on as many news shows as possible.
"My...

Don't get me wrong, the whole incident is tragic. Although I suppose that goes without saying. Nonetheless, someone pursuing a doctorate should have more sense than to be so aghast over the fact that the American media would fixate upon this. Maybe he should spend less energy focusing on the victims and more trying to draw attention to the fact that despite being a danger to himself and others, that wackjob was walking the streets instead of committed in a mental hospital. Times like these I'm glad to live in Canada.

Aww, don't be a jerk! 
CNN's already talked a tonne about his mental issues; trust me, I've watched more CNN in the last few days than I'd like to admit. Since they're going to continue giving the whole ordeal attention for days to come, why would it be so bad for them to give more of that airtime to the victims than Cho?

I am a quarter of a century old! Now it's only a matter of time before my plastic hip operation.
In other news, iPod accessories are so freaking expensive. I can't believe I can't find a stupid sticker to cover my nano's screen without paying $15. I hope Steve Jobs suffers from an extraordinarily painful case of rectum cancer. Also, I'm done with school now,...

Sorry.
solaris:
sad but so true. hope you're feeling better by now. birthdays almost always make me feel poorly in one way or another.
Man I suck! Jocelynn bought me a nano for my b-day and I managed to put a badass scratch in it within hours of opening it up. Being a klutz is nothing new to me but it never ceases to hurt when you quickly tarnish something new.

Aww, that's too bad, but she is right--it still works! Happy birthday!

nicklesanddimes3:
Tofurkey? That cant be good. 
sharona1881:
mmmm tofurkey 
Is it strange to not want to celebrate your birthday? Every year I get all anxious and worked up over my imminent b-day only to find myself disappointed or severely hung over. Add that to the fact that a great many of my closest friends have either recently moved away or are, for whatever reasons, missing in action. I know I could leave it up...

Dear Pokes,
It's laundry day and you could win a prize! Correctly guess the how many pairs of underwear you've left on my floor since I last did laundry. Submit this guess before 7:30pm tonight to be entered in the contest.
Good luck,
PP

Hey Pokes! I have returned.. you know, decided to come back to SG.
You better remember me! hahaha
You better remember me! hahaha
I am the third wheel. Scratch that, I am the fifth wheel. Better yet, I am the wobbly left training wheel of the fifth wheel. Don't get me wrong, as far as feeling somewhat of an outsider goes, this gig isn't so bad. I just wish my friends weren't such embarrassments sometimes. C'est la vie; be it one's family or friends... if you're not embarrassing...

So I rock. Jocelynn found out the best buy passcode to purchase presale Police tickets but somehow didn't type it in properly. COming out of the bathroom a minute later than anticipated i discovered, much to my dismay, that "the code doesn't work!". Being as incredulous as I was paid off because when I tried it it did work and so I managed to grab...
