Trudging along.
Aug. 11th, 2006 02:10 amWell, today was interesting. Went in for my second shift, only to realize that I wasn't supposed to be there at all. When someone pointed that out to me, anyway. Ah, well, got some work done anyway, basically getting me caught up to where I should be - good thing. And in an hour, I did everything I was supposed to, anyway, project wise.
I also knocked Sephiroth for a loop in Kingdom Hearts II, after losing badly to him many, many times. Cheap character, that one. I suppose, though, that since it only took me a couple hours to beat him, I'm doing okay. Next target is the Hades Paradox Cup. After that, we're flying straight for the end. The end boss will probably take one look at us and go "Eep."
Bush administration in CYA mode, trying to write in retroactive protections.
Hrm. Emergency preparedness exercise on 9 August, conveniently coupled with the announcement on 10 August. It's like they knew it was coming. Did they have their government coloring books/procedure manuals there, too?
You know, with the AOL database fragment leaked, some people are coming up with inventive things. Like searching the search fragment to see what was there. AOL stalker claims to remove personally identifying searches, but there's still a lot there that could be used against someone, intentionally or no. (So why link it? Because someone might wonder whether their data was compromised. If we entertain the grand delusion that there are other people beyond the friendsilst and LJ community that read this blog, then it might be useful. Either that, or the historians who are searching the Wayback of the future are going to be interested in this.)
Another example of a Big Lie in action? The idea that somehow there exists "the internet problem", which often flagrantly flies the bird and the Jolly Roger together in the face of the traditional media. Without a unified front, suddenly the news is not necessarily the news. Or the news has its flaws shown up. Thus, the problem of a divided viewpoint and a populace that has to think.
I was going to write something, I believe, about how I'm not as virtuous a person as I look, and that I'm probably starting to get meaner and more hardened just by dealing with the older end of my chosen department, but instead, I'm going to implant the idea of pink elephants and very fluffy bunnies in your head as I crawl into bed. G'night.
