So there I was, staring down the barrel of my own gun.
In the harsh, orange light, I could just barely make out the small grooves of the pistol’s rifling pattern. I turned the barrel toward the single tungsten light hanging from the ceiling. I could see flecks of dust, and unburnt powder resting on the polished chrome interior. Behind me, on an aged and abused old mattress, lay the handgun’s frame and slide, along with its recoil spring and magazine. In the center of the room, my friend Davis was attempting futilely to attach his PlayStation to an uncooperative television, his cursing muffled by the wall-to-wall curtains meant to conceal a particularly disconcerting black and white patterned wallpaper. I shivered in the cold autumn air that leaked through the cracks in the walls and blew the dust out of the barrel, then placed it back into the slide assembly along with the recoil spring, and reattached it to the frame of the gun. With a fairly audible click, I depressed the button that decocked the striker mechanism in the gun, increasing the trigger pull and decreasing the chance of a stress-induced negligent discharge. Satisfied with my half-finished cleaning job, I re-holstered my weapon, its weight against my hip at once disconcerting and oddly comforting.
I looked around the room. Davis had gotten nowhere in his endeavors.
I sighed.
I fucking hated this house.

here’s my impression of congress
congress: oh no the finance sector is collapsing due to bad credit and stupid decisions! here have seven hundred billion dollars
TWO MONTHS LATER
congress: oh no a service industry whose death will have predictable and devastating effects internationally while forcing millions of blue collar workers into unemployment is collapsing due to bad business practices and little oversight!

So… today, this poor girl made one unfortunate remark about the 5th dimension, or something, and her male friend proceeded for the next 10 minutes to try to explain to her what the 10th dimension actually is.
So… this made me laugh.
So… I went on Wikipedia and looked up A Wrinkle in Time, and remembered what a crazy story it was. Disembodied giant brain?
So… wrinkles in time can make you teleport through the THIRD DIMENSION. Do you understand? Let me draw you a diagram. And if you apply that to the next series….
Yup.

Leah Moreland, the woman who said she grew up sheltered from prejudice, plans to vote for McCain. Party loyalty is also part of her decision. But her cultural compass also comes into play. She says her gut tells her not to trust Obama.
“I look at Obama, and I have a question in my mind,” she says. “Years ago, was he taken into the Muslim faith? And my concern is the only way you are no longer a Muslim is if you are dead, killed. So in my mind, he’s still alive.”
Although Barack Obama has said repeatedly he is not a Muslim and has never been a Muslim, Moreland is still unconvinced.
“There is something about him I don’t trust,” she says. “I don’t care how good a speaker he is, I just can’t trust him.”
I was like WHAT THE FUCK. Her language skills are terrible!
“I look at Obama, and I have a question in my mind,” she says. “Years ago, was he taken into the Muslim faith? And my concern is I believe the only way you are no longer a Muslim is if you are dead, killed(…wtf), so in my mind, he’s still alive a Muslim.”
There we go, now her sentence is actually coherent. Too bad it’s still completely retarded.

Despite having declared a friendship with the child, things were not going so well. It was the end of the month, and I hadn’t managed to get Jesus to behave. I mean, he wasn’t as bad as before, but progress was slower than I was hoping for. I wondered if I had mistakenly assumed that he’d be more obedient to someone he liked. Maybe he was going to be a pain in the ass whether he liked you or not, you know? Anyway, when Dale came to me asking if the kid was ready, all I could do was shrug and say, “eh. maybe.”

The next day was my day off. I stayed at home and watched Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai off an old VHS tape I had lying around. Then I sat around and did nothing for the rest of the day.
