Oh, you don’t even want to know. The lady in the cubicle next to mine has been snoring loudly since 11PM.

So I hear I’m embroiled in some sort of controversy? Hmmm? Whatever I did, I’m sorry!

Whoever’s dragging it out just to make me angry, should probably know this: I’ve been holed up in the library and writing papers 24/7 to actually notice or care. A friend had to drag me out of my SPSS-induced haze to let me know about it!

Anyway, haters and lovers, there is some good news. I’m guest DJing the next installment of England Belongs to Twee on Saturday 12/15 at the Khyber. Wear your sexiest Santa costume and if you don’t I’ll punchayou in the face.

Before I have to go back to work:

» My email woes have been resolved, but you’ll need to re-send your message if you wrote me over the past 4 days. (Dreamhost is still experiencing greylist difficulties with Google, so if you’ve got a moment, bug Google to do something about it.)

» Forgive me now for I have sinned (or something like that): I missed the Clean and Times New Viking last night. I don’t think a late-marathon of Clean records made up for it.

» I had to write a paper for class about a current news item (in this particular case, Oprah’s endorsement of Obama) from a specific theoretical standpoint. Thanks to Adorno and Sartre, I’ve come up with a something of my own: Oprah is the Underminer, “the friend that slowly destroys your life.”

» This thread and the one about poorly written student essays on BCO, are quickly improving my piss poor attitude.

Dreamhost (who hosts this site) has been “greylisted” by Gmail, which has blocked/delayed/etc those messages. So if you’ve sent something, I won’t see it for a few days (or maybe not at all). I’m sure I’m not the only one who uses these two services, either.

In the meantime, you should follow this link and Digg the article — the more awareness about this issue, the better.
