I went to college for journalism, and yes, that was stupid. Somehow, I landed a job at a newspaper that isn't failing (yet). Unfortunately, I'm assigned to report on several farm towns in northern Connecticut where less than nothing happens, and one of my biggest stories so far was quite literally about horseshit. The pay is insulting, the deadlines are annoying, and the newspaper office is located smack in the middle of my hometown that I'm desperately trying to move away from.
How should I make my job more interesting, and find (or generate) exciting news in North bumblefuck?
- 21:17 @CadenceStJohn Glad you like them. #
- 22:42 Wow, it's really cold outside. Went for a little walk, but it's 40 degrees and wet. #
- 15:32 I really need new glasses & I do not feel like dealing with it. Maybe I should go back to wearing an eye patch like I had in grade school. #
- 16:34 @xianvox Great, now I'm hungry for chicken tikka and some yummy extra hot vindaloo #

Adolf Hitler targeted the Jews in the Holocaust not simply out of hate, but for strategic reasons. Describing his plan to take over Germany, and then Europe, he wrote:I scanned the revolutionary events of history and… [asked] myself: against which racial element in Germany can I unleash my propaganda of hate with the greatest prospects of success? …I came to the conclusion that a campaign against the Jews would be as popular as it would be successful.
Jews, Hitler figured, were already well hated and, thus, would lend themselves to demonization quite easily.
However, Ronald Berger writes in his essay The “Banality of Evil” Reframed, once it was decided that the Jews would be targeted, “the most immediate difficulty that confronted the Nazis was the construction of a legal definition of the target population”.
Who was Jewish? At first, the Nazis defined Jews as non-Aryan. But this became problematic because nations with whom Germany wanted to ally (e.g., Japan) were arguably non-Aryan. The regime settled on a definition that linked non-Aryan-ness to religion. Both racial and religious characteristics could qualify one as “Jewish.”

Ideas?
Your (LOL) funny bone.
But your funny bone isn't actually a bone at all. Running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve lets your brain know about feelings in your fourth and fifth fingers. It's also one of the nerves that controls some movement of your hand.
You get that funny feeling when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus (say: hyoo-muh-rus), the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder. Tapping your funny bone doesn't do any damage to your elbow, arm, or ulnar nerve. But it sure feels strange!

I told you, and now they're travelling by Tube!
I urge everyone to get a fourth Twilight movie made. Yes, really.
So near, and yet so far.
I want Sarcastic Robot for my terminals.
This is why Americans can't have nice things.
I am going to Bisexual Underground this evening. Anyone else?
I bought an electric tweezer — basically a one-disc epilator. Buoyed by its effectiveness and my ability to put up with it, I have splashed out for this torture device. It hurts like hell, and it bloody works. Channel my inner Henry Rollins, do a slow swipe over the area counting down from five, exhale. I am most pleased.
I have done very little else in the last week. No NotN, little Twitter. I've been trying to get more sleep, ever since going on a date with
nyecamden and falling asleep at nine! I'm still getting used to working for a living. Freda is occasionally getting to sleep at a better time, which helps a lot. Whenever I go out she says "Daddy going to work." Yeah, work those stockings, boots and corset!
The camera is teh win! I haven't done last week's Vagabonds shots yet.
I just wrote about a huge change jar that I was going to cash in when I got home from work today. However, when I got home it was missing. My new roommate knows nothing about this.
You are all witnesses to this, so it's natural for me to suspect this entire community.
So, who did it, and what should I do to them?
be a really good show and you'll have a good time if you come.

. . . remember, Kepi is playing early @ 8, so come early if you want to see him.
And also, stick around for Agent Ribbons, and Liam & The Ladies too
(members of the Dietrichs, Haunted cologne, BANGARANG).
Lest I forget the giddy fun of Mas O Menos!
What should I restock the fridge with?
- 18:01 On the road home. Very annoying day today. My frustration was out of proportion to the immediate issues.
To see your brother sing
To hug your sister
But not like this
I always wanted all my friends who grew apart
Either through time or bad feelings
To gather together again
But not like this
I always thought it would be a grand idea
To see a retrospective of your career
With everyone around to see what you did
But not like this
Today was your birthday my friend
And the sky wept for us
Saying goodbye for us

I have a pickle jar full of change(no pennies) that I've had for the past several years. It's nearly full and probably has upwards of $400 in it.
How should I go about using this money?
The animation is hypnotic.
