Get Your War On
I just read the latest issue of Get Your War On and I realized I had never mentioned it. It's really fucking hilarious, especially the first few issues. I remember reading it for the first time when I visited my buddy Ben at school about a month after September 11th, 2001. I was still really angry and these comics were right up my alley. It's not always on target, but this latest batch is really good.
Getting back to me, (which is what this entire website is about, goddamn it) let's recap what I said I would do today:
Parking permit? Check.
Books? Three down, three still on order.
Japanese 101? Invaded. They're only going to finish two chapters this semester. I think I can skip that.
As a bonus, I went to the supermarket and loaded my fridge with beverages. The "bulk container" policy here at Albany bugs me a little. I'm of legal age to drink alcohol. It shouldn't be anyone's business how much alcohol I choose to drink or possess at one time. But the rules state that I cannot possess more than "twelve 12 oz. bottles of beer or one liter of liquor." And that's an exclusive OR, so I can't mix and match. It just so happens that the local market offers a 30-pack of Miller High Life and I happen to be a High Life Man. Instead, I was forced to compromise and buy the 12-pack. It's all because of that stupid "number one party school" label, which is itself baseless because the survey was not scientifically taken. Most of the data was collected online which means it's as trustworthy as Johnnie Cochran. But any "party publicity" is bad publicity for the university, so they're forced to overreact and create a whole slew of new rules. This includes a book of Community Rights & Responsibilites which we all got on the first day. Thank God they gave me this book or I would have made a major faux-pas: According to Appendix J, I'm not allowed to rape anyone. Boy would my face have been red!

Hey Dan
First off, I'm not sure which is more awesome. You going to school again or you having a refrigerator that works! I guess they both play off each other putting you in a really good spot in your life.
Second, what is a "bulk container policy?" Are they coming into your residence and checking your fridge for alcohol? You'd better be careful where you keep the bodies then!
If you need help digging the holes just let me know and I'll come up with a shovel.
Peace
Joe
P.S. Don't rape anybody off campus either, the policy applies to all of Appalachia.

Why not take Japanese 101 as a refresher? If you don't take that, you'll end up having taken only one semester of Japanese before you go to Japan. I guess they don't offer Japanese 102 in the fall?
Glad to hear things are going alright.

No, 102 is only offered in the Spring. Not that I'd have room for it this semester anyway. I've already got a full 15 credit schedule.
Joe, are you sure I can't rape people in Appalachia? They never gave me a Conduct Handbook forbidding it.
