Electronic Rebellion

   Internet has been down again for the last two days or so (currently I'm taking refuge in the study lounge again). Additionally winamp sometimes refuses to work for an hour or so, paintshop like to crash while I'm working on pictures, and my phone even joined in, inexplicably refusing to operate at all for three or four hours the other day.

   Parents are coming to visit this weekend and bringing the car back for me.

   Senate passed the Judicial Reform Act about five hours into their Thursday meeting. The majority of the preceding five hours was spent discussing whether spending $80 on a vinyl sign to advertise the ASUCD Senate was a good idea in light of the fact that vinyl is extremely toxic and bad for the environment; previous signs for the same purpose have been discovered behind cabinets in the senate office, where they are believed to have been forgotten for at least four years; and signs have been successfully made by other ASUCD units for free. Most overrated argument: "other subsidiary units such as Ethnic and Cultural Affairs Commission have nice vinyl signs, we should have one at least as good as them" (paraphrased) -- yeah well the Aggie Student Store (AKA "ASS") has a neon sign but that doesn't mean the Senate should have a neon sign too.

   Currently it is pouring yet bright outside. I find this excellent.


Picture of the Day

   Internal Affairs Commission Chair Kahliah Laney and Senator Donald Cohen-Cutler have a "mild disagreement" about whether or not the Senate should revive and pass a bill that Business and Finance Commission fangoriously failed.

Maybe I should author a "Neon Sign Bill of 2005," or if such a sign would seem too expensive I'll just split it into smaller parts so that we only by $80 in parts at a time because "it's just $80 out of, like, a million."

Send that pic to the aggie and see if they'll use it for a story about the relationship of senate to commissions.

Maybe I'll sell them rights to use it for $5.

Also note that "Senate" at the beginning of my third paragraph links to a larger version of the senate panarama. The project worked out more successfully than I expected (I didn't think it would work out at all), but I think I'm going to do it again and see if I can get the left side in better.

Can we solicit appropriate(or inappropriate) captions for this picture?? I love the hand waving thing he's doing. Since I'm a (supposedly) responsible adult I'll let others come up with the captions. On your mark, get set, get to it...

Like the magician, senator Donald misdirects attention by flailing one hand while casually slipping the other into his pocket for some hardcore policy making

Let me say "wow" to that description.

Am I just hallucinating? That scene seems way to active for someone to have a hand in a pocket! Unless he's pulling out a never-ending hanky for his next trick... ?!?

I was thinking maybe Kahliah is saying "but what have you gots in your pocket?!?" a la gollum
