Bow down to my kung-fu school

Q: Who needs a new job?
A: This guy.

$6.50 an hour to unpack and shelve books all day is a scam. I hope the whole foods market I applied to gets back to me. The worst part of it is that I have all these books I want to read but by the time I get home I barely want to look at a book.

Oy vey. On a positive note I got to listen to "How I Beat Shaq" by Aaron Carter today when I was unpacking textbooks and I was totally inspired to acheive my goals or whatever. Added to that "New Fist of Fury" starring Jackie Chan is totally triumphant!

Poe

"For the 57th year running, a mystery man today paid tribute to Edgar Allan Poe by placing roses and a bottle of cognac on the writer's grave to mark his birthday."

Poe graveside tribute remains a mystery.

Art is a crime

"PARIS, Jan. 6 - The Dada movement made its name in the early 20th century by trying to destroy the conventional notion of art. Taking literal inspiration from their exploits this week, a latter-day neo-Dadaist took a small hammer to Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain," the factory-made urinal that is considered the cornerstone of Conceptual Art."
