I am enjoying the gradual decay of the importance of traditional media, and one of the best examples of that is how terrible the comics page is in any newspaper (and the Statesman isn’t even worth the paper its printed on what with the general availability of the Daily Texan if you need to start a fire or wash windows).
The internet allows for comics like xkcd, which continually reminds me that I am not a beautiful and unique snowflake, but rather there is an entire demographic that recognizes Timothy Zahn as the name of a Star Wars novel author and is obsessed with Ron Paul (http://xkcd.com/367/).
Anyway, I happened upon this gem: http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/
Basically, it’s Garfield but with Garfield and his lines photoshopped out. It’s now a comic strip about an insecure man with schizophrenia.
Apparently, I don’t update this site enough for my sister. I think that may be due to the whole gainful employment thing. I feel a lot more guilty doing things like blogging when somebody’s buying me by the hour.
I’ve gone over on cell phone minutes, from here til Friday all communication with me cannot include daytime phone usage. Apparently T-mobile charges 40 cents a minute in overage charges. I probably would have bought an iPhone today except for the continued lack of 3G network access and the fact that I forgot I was right next to the Apple store.
Apparently I’m still on the list of people nearing graduation, this has mostly been just a whole mess of spam, but yesterday I got a call from a recruiter in New York asking me to come to a company night. Man, I need to get off that list.
but I didn’t have 44 billion dollars and change.
