Friday, April 14, 2006. I've hunted and hunted for the exact quote, but I've lost my "The Myth of Sisyphus" book, so I'll just paraphrase Camus. (I mean, what's the point of being an existentialist philosopher if you don't have people misquoting and oversimplifying your points, really? He notes that it isn't people that are absurd, or the world that is absurd, but our relationship to the world that is absurd. I'm sure Camus had some deep reasons for thinking this (if he did! But the thing is this: This is.

JeffLivesHere: Pop Culture Edition. Tuesday, April 18, 2006. Now I Have to Stop Buying Certain Comics Because They Have Become Nike Ads. I know people will say it was bound to happen, but product placement in comics. Just makes me sad. And a little angry. I'm naive, what can I say. The interesting thing is that the Wall Street Journal article points out that 'this isn't new' and it's really 'not so bad':. See, that's the thing. I think in this case, 'less overt' is worse.

Thursday, April 20, 2006. I've been thinking about a post about the Fat Acceptance movement for a while now, because there is something that has bothered me about a lot of things associated with that movement. Reading stuff in the Big Fat Carnival makes me feel that now-familar feeling that I must be missing something, that I need to read more about it and listen more to that community, because I must just not get it. But then I read this post over at peggynature's blog. Weight is just as silly as thinki...

You might explicitly state that you agree with the conclusion and not with how it was arrived at, but it still might, to some people, undermine the point. Posted by Jeff Pollet at 9:51 AM.

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Sleep In, Dammit. This was one of those rainy mornings I came outside with my bike, my rain-gear on (such as it is), and was thankful that it was pouring. Because at least when it's pouring it's usually a bit warmer *and* then I don't even pretend that I can try to not get soaked- I just dive right in, so to speak, and enjoy the wetness more.

Thursday, April 13, 2006. And thinking dirty thoughts about your professor (c'mon, "O Captain, my Captain! Should probably be said over said 'captain's' lap, shouldn't it? Maybe it's just me. Not easy to do. Hopefully I'll get better, but for now.it's time-consuming and frustrating and it makes me wonder why I bother patching tubes at all and don't just buy a bunch of spares, really, because.well, there I go getting frustrated.

Thursday, June 22, 2006. To those who go around saying, "Well, Bush Jr. did win hands down in 2004, whether the 2000 election was right or not.". In what may be the single most astounding fact from the election, one in every four Ohio citizens who registered to vote in 2004 showed up at the polls only to discover that they were not listed on the rolls, thanks to GOP efforts to stem the unprecedented flood of Democrats eager to cast ballots.(14) And that doesn?
