It looking like the copyright logo doesn't make it a good logo. What does copyright have anything to do with comedy?

Unless the very premise of the logo is to be ironic.

But even then, its message is confusing.

There's some ads out there with various comedy central characters with the logo in the copyright spot. As if to say they have the copyright on comedy or some such

That is such a bad message.

That should be a tag line, not a logo.

I have this class about journals, namely writer's journals. We spent about an hour discussing questions about the color blue within some journal and what the journal is written for, then the class gathered from their groups to present some arguments. After the first argument, the prof asks "Any questions?" And this guy raises his hand.

"Have you guys seen the last Harry Potter movie?"
"...yes"
And then he nods his head and gives a low whistle.

There was about two minutes of confusion and I admit i was turning away to laugh. Then the kid nexts to him nudges me and tells me "he's on acid".

fuck

So I watch him, knowing this is going to be a long class. He keeps asking questions having nothing to do with what we're talking about, and whenever someone is talking he sits clutched in his chair rapidly nodding his head. At one point he went on for four minutes about tonal languages and then ended with

"Like have you guys heard Stereolab?"
"Where are you going with this"
"I'm just saying."

Mom wants to move in with me, as she's going through housing issues.

If I concede, it will mean the end of virtually everything as she is one of the most overbearing, imposing, and territorial individuals I know. She claims it'll be temporary, but I know her. Any rules I would even attempt to establish would be subject to partial attention briefly, only to be subject to gradual dismissal as time goes. I know this woman.

If I deny her, I'll be perceived as the ungrateful, asshole son.

She won't move in with her cousins, which is a course I've been secretly plotting.

Fuck.

Move out just as she's moving in. You can even wave to her.

picked my neighborhood after hours of research: ASTORIA

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/19/realestate/if-you-re-thinking-of-living-in-astoria-accessible-affordable-and-highly-diverse.html

Now to find an apartment on craigslist or some place i live at temporarily

Astoria is a good choice, I know quite a few people who live there. I've hung out there a few times in the past month or so, too. Lots of bars and restaurants and whatnot. And if you like hookah, Steinway St. is the place.

Yeah, my cousin recently moved out to Astoria and she loves it. Lots of great ethnic cuisine and one of the more active nightlife spots in Queens. It's really getting built up, too but right now the rents are reasonable (as far as NY goes).

Of course, if I were ever to move to the city (probably not, too far away from my job) my ideal place would be Greenpoint.

So tired of dumb patients I swear. You'd think by the time someone reached 40-50yo they'd pretty much understand how their insurance works. But nope

dude: why do I have a $50 bill?! your office told me my last visit would be covered at 100%
me: yes sir it was covered at 100%, but as the office manager told you, you have a $50 deductible on your policy
dude: bullshit, I'm contacting my insurance company, you guys don't run business honestly
*10 minutes*
dude: ...looks like you were right this time. can I schedule my next appointment now?

Mupepe · « **Reply #5837 on:** January 26, 2011, 02:27:44 PM »

To be fair, insurance companies change policies all the time. Two years ago, my company's insurance coverage was a $25 deductible with regular checkups. Last year they got rid of it. This year, they put it back. So two days ago my coworkers ex wife was calling him because the people at the office were asking for a deductible and she thought she didn't have to pay one (for their child), and so did he. She was arguing with them and everything.

In this case the dude has had the policy for awhile, and this company has a $50 deductible for all single person members. I can understand if it was a case of things changing, but I notice dental plans pretty much stay the same. Dunno about medical plans.

It was this girl and two of her friends who came up to me. I only was at the school on Thursdays and Fridays, so they probably saw me walking around on Fridays when I would wear a dress shirt and blazer with jeans. Poor girl was absolutely embarrassed when she found I worked there and was seven years older than her (and engaged!).

they are gonna give me a bonus check for my good work at the company next week but the bonus is pretty fucking pathetic for 8 months of work but I think I can build an ok pc with that.

Moving into our new place today. So far, so good. My parents sprung for a moving company to get all our crap moved fast, so it's been a breeze. I'm supervising them here, and my father is waiting at the apartment for the IKEA guys to show up.

Also, it's always easier to get another girlfriend when you're already with someone, ya know? So use her, then the universe will do it's usual ploy of making women more attracted to you since you're taken and then be like BAM! And fuck the universe and take the new chick.
