Draino is fun to play with, kids, but remember not to drink it. If you drink it, you end up on Meet the Feebles. That's right, kids - Ben's own Private Hell. You'll end up as a heroin junky alligator (crocodile? lizard?) with flashbacks to the horrors of Viet Nam. A violent obsession with bodily functions, it's the decrepit husk of the Muppets. I hate it. The scarring has gone down a little bit, but I absolutely refuse to watch this thing ever again. It made me twitchy. An elephant and a chicken should not be able to reproduce.
Trying to decide on my time table, but seats in classes I need are going fast. I have no hope of getting into the actual fiction workshop I need, so I'll be sitting on the wait list when my time comes - tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. I've made a concise list of the classes I want, with X's beside the four that I definitely need. I can't stand the idea of putting off graduation based on one workshop - which I would have no chance of picking up in the summer. But I've picked out a Technical writing class for first semester to add to my resumé.
Work tonight. Must go make up some kind of dinner for myself before I have to head out.

Which technical writing class? There's a web development class offered by the English Department that also seemed quite interesting.

A quote from rottentomatoes.com that might cheer you up:
'"Meet the Feebles" would be a mere exercise in disgust if it weren't also a cleverly staged satire on media stars and the closed-door depravity of celebrity life.'

Yes, but the closed-door depravity of media stars isn't exactly a new idea. Let's just say, if I'd seen "Meet the Feebles" in someone's portfolio, I wouldn't ask them to direct Lord of the Rings. Gah.
