i can't think of anything to say...

Pretty self-explanitory. I think it's Bec's damn Fiona Apple cd... It's driving me batshit. Almost as bad as Thursday's issue of the Pittsburg Morning Sun. Even if you don't give a damn about journalism, this is still one of the most revolting things I've ever seen.

On the front page of the paper, they ran an article about the 1000th PSU-themed license plate sold by the Alumni Center... I'm not sure if it was the 1000th ever, or if it was just the 1000th this year, because the reporter didn't bother to clarify that. I suppose realistically you could infer that it's the 1000th ever, but then again, when she starts waxing nostalgic about the pride of Pitt State Alums, it makes you feel like anything's possible. I mean, gosh, people LOVE that split-face gorilla.
At least she interviewed the person who purchased the milestone plate...

I keep trying to find an appropriate analogy to describe how horribly wrong and repugnant this whole thing is, because most people I explain this to (who aren't journalists) don't get why my face turns purple every time I talk about it.

It's kind of like watching somebody stuff a Thanksgiving turkey with vomit and soiled baby diapers.

Here's a link to the online version, which is inexplicably missing the photo (which also ran on page 1, in color) of said reporter affixing her precious license plate to the back of her car. GOOOO-RILLAS!

Ok, had to get that off my chest.

In other business:

Homecoming Tab is due next monday, and I have no stories, ads, or content for it. FAHQ!!!!!

Hope the LSAT didn't kick your ass Mindy!

For her birthday/anniversary, I got Rebecca:

1.) One plastic elephant, with the trunk pointed up (a symbol of good luck in Vietnamese culture, or so I'm told.)

2.) A statue of a nude man throwing a discus. I thought she could practice drawing form/musculature...

3.) An "I'm for Nixon" button, circa 1968.

She looked so pained when she opened her presents on Tuesday, I'm amazed we're still dating... So much for "inexpensive and heart felt."
