Damnedest thing. For the better part of two weeks, my computer just would not load SG, and a couple of other sites too. When I moved into my new dorm I got DSL (yay) and the problem went away (double yay!) so now I'm back. I wonder what I missed? 
I just got back from a family reunion, which makes me realize exactly how little I have in common with my family. When it comes to who I care about in life, I focus a thousand times more on common interests than I do on shared DNA. According to the general population, that makes me a horrible person.
I just got my wisdom teeth taken out.
Good stuff
-it was quick
-not much pain
-being numbed feels kind of cool at first
Bad stuff
-the sound of my teeth cracking in half
-spitting out jawbreaker-sized mouthfulls of congealed blood
-being numbed gets really annoying after an hour or so
Random factoids
-For the Romans, a dentist was basically a strong guy with a pair of pliers. Sometimes they would pull the completely wrong tooth, rip out a few healthy ones along with the bad one, or even remove a section of the person's jaw by accident.
-There's no medical proof that the preemptive removal of non-impacted wisdom teeth is beneficial or even recommended. That doesn't stop dentists from recommending it though.

School's finally over and I'm back home for the summer.
Good Lord I'm in hick hell. Now I remember why I left.

His fury that the world was not run so well as he could run it encouraged him to speak.

God built the church
the Devil built the chapel
and the thistles that are growing
'round the trunk of the tree
all the good in the world
you could put inside a thimble
and still have room for you and me
misery's the river of the world
everybody row
Watching the news makes me hope the Apocalypse is coming soon.

Riddle me this:
What we caught we threw away, what we could not catch we kept.
It was first posed to Homer by fishermen back in ancient times, and frustration at not being able to solve it supposedly drove him to his death.
Well I read it (without the answer) in an email list a few years ago and I think I'm going to suffer the same fate.
