Terrified. No joke.
I know it's long, but watch it all the way through.

No good.
I'm sick, hence the lack of updates to both the Bitchery and the Wasteland.
My head feels like it is moments away from explosion.
Also - I finished a roll this past week. I had some very well-composed shots. Beautiful subject matter - including illegal shots of Roman sculpture from the Louvre.
After taking the film out of my camera, I noticed something funny. Well, not exactly funny. Less funny and more tragic.
My camera was set for 100ISO. I only shoot in 400 or above.
I had been explaining how to work my camera to my little sister over the summer. While doing this we had a conversation about film speed, and I was showing her how to make adjustments on my camera. I never reset it.
I'm just going to have to wait until I get in the darkroom to see if they are completely ruined, or if I can correct the exposure a little bit when I make prints.
I am not happy. Whole roll of film possibly wasted. And the worst part - some of those images I can't re-shoot.

Melodramatics
Drew. Seriously. You need to calm the hell down.
I get the feeling you could be a really likable person if you weren't such a hypersensitive jerk.

I am not your mother.
That's right, freshman ladies, I am not your momma.
I'll tell you what this means.
This means that I have zero concern for your personal belongings. You heard it. Zero. None. Niet.
Learn to set a goddamn timer and take your shit out of the washing machines. [Not that I care about your fugly-ass clothing, but it will mildew if you let it sit in there for too long.]
30 minute wash.
Hour dry.
It is not difficult.
I do not want to have to reach into that machine and be forced to touch your dingy panties just so I can get some laundry done.
Today I was being kind. I put your things on the laundry table neatly. Next time that shit is going into a big ass heap on the floor. Go ahead and see if I'm kidding.

A perfect snapshot of America. . .
Religulous was fan-fucking-tastic. Simple as that.
As we were leaving the theater in Quail we came upon a terrimusing sight.
There was a sizable line of people waiting for the escalator. No more than 20 feet away? Stairs. Not even a full flight. Was anyone on them? No. Brilliant.
Clark was a bit disappointed that his first instinct had been to take the escalator as well. We took the stairs, therefore we are better than average Americans.

"I Hate Camera"
Yeah? You hate camera?
Well, I hate docents like you.
What harm is my poor AE-1 causing the museum? It requires an external flash, which I did not bring because I know that light can damage the paintings. So, my taking flashless shots of marble and granite statuary? What harm was that causing?
It's not like I was going to try and take credit for a 2,000 year-old statue.
"Yeah, that sweet-ass statue of Nero as a child? I did that."
For the record, Mr. Docent, sir? I got a picture of your pudgy ass taking a nap while you were supposed to be monitoring the patrons. [You were apparently too busy to get that lady to stop talking loudly on her cell in the middle of the exhibit. Sure, you all have the time in the world to tell me to not take pictures, but you can't make that bitch shut the hell up when she was truly ruining peoples' experiences. Good call.]
BT Dubs - I got some sweet shots anyway. [On the AE-1 AND the phone, just to make sure I used all the cameras I had on my person.] Stick that in your I-have-to-wear-this-fugly-suit-from-JC Penny-for-my-superbly-exciting-career pipe and smoke it.
Religulous tonight! I am super excited. MLP informed me that it is amazing. I trust the Powers, so I am going into this fully expecting to be blown away.

My vagina is angry.
CSI is going to be the end of my sanity, I swear.
Today's "discussion?" Family structure and male and female roles.
Linda Wilcox [henceforth called L Dubs]: Why is it that most societies worldwide currently and historically have been patriarchal?
From this point the class spiraled out of control into a frenzy of "well men are stronger, more emotionally stable, ordained by god . . . . . " bullshit.
I said it in class, and I'll say it again: men are not better, they are different. Stronger? Perhaps due to sheer size and musculature [nothing that some 'roids and a good old-fashioned work ethic can't fix] but women are creatures of endurance [menstruation . . . . . hello?].
We're patriarchal due to historical reasons. Somewhere along the line there was a power struggle and men won out. The end.
Don't give me any of that "men are more suited to lead" BS. With the exception of Palin [and this is because she's an idiot, not because she has a cooter], it simply isn't true.
Also: if you don't want to buy me that print for my birthday, I have my eye on a necklace that was featured in October's Vogue. Peacock moth-wing pendant. $2,500. I'll let you children make that choice on your own.
[Who am I kidding, you all know I'll settle for a hug, a subscription to Nylon, and a big bottle of Pellegrino.]
