You know that shadow government that is supposed to be running everything? They're doing a piss-poor job of it. Come on, Illuminati, get your shit together!

When did rock concerts become something only rich people can afford? $60 for the cheapest seats, are you kidding me?!

A student today told me that my class is "bullshit" and "ass-backward." Oh come on, you haven't even been there in a month, how would you know?

I don't really get why people lost their shit about local weather forecasters being replaced with the Weather Channel. None of these assholes can forecast the weather anyway, so it doesn't matter where they are.

I recently bought the DVD box set of the original GI Joe cartoon and I can't stop comparing Cobra Commander and Destro to the Convict and the Musketeer.

I tried to play an old music CD on my laptop and my antivirus app kept rejecting it. Turned out it was an enhanced CD with an AOL installer on it and my computer was freaking out because it had no idea what it was. πŸ˜‚

Today is Thursday. I just got an email from a student who hasn't attended all semester, asking to be excused from today's class because of the winter weather.

I don't have a class on Thursdays.

One of my students came to class with three Monster energy drinks and talked about how they have insomnia. I wonder if there's a connection.
