I'm FREAKING out. Also, I changed the name of my blog.

48 hours.  I have 48 hours before I leave for DC.  I'm freaking out.  It's officially sinking in.  I know I'll deal with it, but for now, I'm gettin' my panic on.

This blog.... it's so often just a waste of my time.  And frankly, it's almost always a waste of the time of anyone who ends up here.  But, I don't want to get rid of it.  I like getting to write about whatever I want.  So... despite my frequent temptations to just delete it, I'll keep it.  But it has a new name: The Internet Barnacle.

So... yeah... there ya go.

New title, but I'm keeping the same web address to avoid confusing anyone who happens to have linked to this thing.

Well, see ya later.

Hi! Some random thoughts on this fine 'Eptember Eve'n

(Uploaded for no good reason, just randomness.)

• Sometimes I like to randomly put a 'postrophe in words 'at wouldn't norm'ly have 'em.  And some that norm'ly would, too.
• I enjoy getting sleep a WHOLE lot better than not getting sleep.  Trust me, it's MUCH better.
• Did you know that while he claimed to have anti-slavery sentiments, George Mason hypocritically had slaves to keep up appearances?
• I look semi-zombielicious right now.
• No offense, but that was a really cool word I just invent'd.
• There was once a law that banned Native Americans from riding horses in California (Before it was a part of the United States).  That was only for the Spaniards or Mexicans.
• I kinda like college football this year.
• I cheered for Sammy Sosa n' Mark McGwire.  Oops.
• The LSAT's 6 days from now.  Crud.  Or yay.  But mostly crud.  5 hours long.
  
• I saw in the news that the Army's general that is over the war effort in Afghanistan is recommending that we get many more boots on the ground.  Is this war ever going to end?
• Aside from the tiredness that is eating my body alive at the moment, I'm quite happy. 
• "Do you remember the 21st night of September?
  Love was changing the mind of pretenders
  While chasing the clouds away
  
  Our hearts were ringing
  In the key that our souls were singing.
  As we danced in the night,
  Remember - how the stars stole the night away, yeah yeah yeah.
  
  Hey hey hey,
  Ba de ya - say do you remember
  Ba de ya - dancing in September
  Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day!"  --"September" by Earth Wind and Fire
• K, see ya.
  

The Week Ends When I Say It Does!

Ok, as much as I know that there aren't really instances where having a dictator is a good thing, sometimes I think there would be some interesting elements of being a dictator that would be kinda fun. For instance, you could play with time. For example, I like Fridays a lot, and Saturdays never really live up to my expectations, I'd rename Saturday. It would instead be called, "Friday 2: The Sequel." Wouldn't that be so much better?! Don't answer that. I make the decisions in Rand-o-mania!! (shouted in some sort of Eastern European accent) Heck, I could also make the weekend longer. Or I could just make Wednesday a non-working day, too. Nice, right? DON'T question my policies or you'll be subject to the wrath of Rand-o-mania law! Hmm... or I could maximize the labor of my subjects by taking weekends away entirely.

Anyway, good thing Rand-o-mania isn't a real country.

The reason I bring this all up is because Algeria is apparently moving their weekend for the second time in the last half-century. They did have a Thursday-Friday weekend to try not to be like the west after they achieved independence. Now they're giving into business demands and changing it back to a Friday-Saturday weekend. See? They get to just move things wherever they want! Fun stuff... if you don't mind living under a soul-crushing dictatorial rule.

Hmmm... k, see ya!
