School

coupled with work and homework is pretty exhausting.

But I took a nap and a shower, (instead of doing the last of my reading), so I'm feeling pretty damn good.

Did errands, went to school, and all in all have done nothing involving books that don't contain vague, 33 page ego-maniacal ramblings on subjects that, well, gheze. Who thought this should be an entire college class?

All in all I have nothing to say.

The Dictionary Joins the List of Banned Books.

In the immortal words of Eminem,

"My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips,
and that's the message we deliver to little kids,
and expect them not to know what a women's clitoris is,
of course they're gonna know what intercourse is
by the time they hit fourth grade
they got the Discovery Channel, don't they?"
