Sabbatical

Pauza de la *tot* datorat studiului intens pentru o distractie extra-curriculara. Materialele educative includ mii de pagini A4 xeroxate, 180 de carti in editii electronice, cat si How Does Law Protect In War, o caramida inimaginabila, de aproape 2500 pagini in format HC (16x24cm), al carui cuprins e o alta carte de “doar” 500pg, acelasi format. Distractia va fi la Bucuresti si Ploiesti, intre 8 si 10 decembrie, iar ca sa se asigure entuziasmul meu, voi fi obligat sa port un costum pe intreaga perioada. Placut este ca vine nu departe dupa asta.

Partea buna e ca nu se ridica pretentii de la noi deoarece la prima editie s-a castigat premiul popularitatii, iar la a doua editie s-a castigat marele premiu, asadar in joc e doar sfarsitul carierei (mele si-a celorlalti) scolastice. Mai e nevoie sa spun ca deja am scos din sarite cei doi profesori coordonatori cu atitudinea mea? Ma gandeam eu. Aparent daca nu umezesti dosul cuiva esti gasit ireverentios.

Cu riscul de-a cita Gilmore Girls pentru a mia oara: KILL. ME. NOW.

– Lint.

– IQ Ball.

– L.A. Noire.

– Rocket science.

– Pentium III Autopsy.

– AMC cancels “Rubicon.” It’s a conspiracy.

– Moreover, if you’re a liberal viewer in a major city (which typically correlates with higher education) and you have such titles as Mad Men and Dexter to watch each week, are you going to also be interested in seeing a paint-by-numbers crime procedural on broadcast or a laugh-track-boosted sitcom?

– So after 15 years in prison, not only will he get nothing from the prosecutor who broke the rules to convict him, he’ll get nothing from the state, either. Oddly enough, if Kezer had been guilty but then paroled after 15 years, he’d be eligible for a variety of state assistance programs aimed at integrated freed inmates back into society. Because he’s actually innocent, he doesn’t get to participate in those, either.

– Gloryhole 2.0.

– The ultimate intelligence test.

– How Call of Duty became the most popular annual gaming series in the world.

– Start with a latex balloon. Fill with water. Pop balloon. Take photo. Awesome.

– 5th Circuit Rules That High School Cheerleader Is Required To Cheer For Her Alleged Rapist.

– An Ohio man was excused from jury service after mentioning he was a childhood friend of cannibalistic serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

– Zack Snyder says his Superman will be “different.” Just like Christopher Reeve’s Superman. And Dean Cain’s. And that idiot from Superman Returns. And the emo douchebag from Smallville. We’ve seen different. Give us iconic.

– Nanopath.

– Steel Grinder.

– Effing Worms.

– 4-Year-Old Can Be Sued, Judge Rules in Bike Case.

– Olivia Wilde has a desperate plea from the year 2050.

– Romania sells Dracula reluctantly. The current national tourist campaign ignores him, preferring to push the Carpathian mountains. I think this is insane, because Dracula is an international erotic brand, beloved of women who secretly want to be penetrated by aristocrats. So, a week before Halloween, I jump on a plane to look for Dracula.
