P.S. - You suck at ukulele.

LOST

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:21:22 +0000

Watching LOST is like dating a good-looking girl who doesn’t have much behind the mask; once you accept that it’s not really going anywhere - she’s just screwing with you - you can relax and enjoy the benefits while they last. It’s pretty much an abusive relationship, but hey, it’s decent fun while you’re waiting for something real to come along.

“The Germans do not seem to be afraid to repeat a word when it is the right one. they repeat it several times, if they choose. That is wise. But in English, when we have used a word a couple of times in a paragraph, we imagine we are growing tautological, and so we are weak enough to exchange it for some other word which only approximates exactness, to escape what we wrongly fancy is a greater blemish. Repetition may be bad, but surely inexactness is worse.”

Mark Twain, The Awful German Language

The rest of that piece is a satire on the difficulty of the language - really funny - but I like his point here, too. Made me think of certain electronic musics. Rock - Robot Rock.

but is it long enough?

and which one of those is more likely to get comments.

V

I’m watching V, that new alien show. It isn’t very good. I’m giving it one more try because I really like aliens, but I don’t think it’s going to change. It sure is providing a lot of fodder for comics, though.

I got a pretty good response to my comic today:

I just deleted it cause I’d rather not have blowhards like this commenting on my site (once I approve one comment they have free rein), but then I wanted to respond to it. So Joseph of Club Penguin, here you go:

BEEOOUM. In the meantime, why not start your own socialist webcomic? I’d read it. BEEEEOOOOUUUMM.

H1N1 - really.

I’m working as a Health Assistant in an Elementary School now (I love it), and today I went to a meeting on H1N1 (the first case identified in the U.S. was in a school - we’re sort of at the “front lines,” really), and I thought I’d pass along some non-media-sensationalized, non-comic-hyperbolized data:

-90% of the flu viruses currently going around are H1N1.
-It’s more communicable since it’s new strain of flu, but H1N1 is no more harmful than your typical seasonal flu, and the virus is not mutating much.
-6 months to 24 years old is by far the most affected age group.
-People over 64 years old aren’t getting it. It’s suspected there was a similar flu during their lifetime.
-91% of child deaths involving H1N1 have involved additional preexisting medical conditions.
-(Again) c. 36,000 people die annually in the U.S. from the common flu (acc. to CDC), 250,000-500,000 worldwide (acc. to WHO), and ECDC reports the number of worldwide H1N1 deaths to be 4,747 as of today. Yawn.

I’m sure I’ll come into contact with it with all the sick kids I see; I probably already have. I got a little sick-ish last week but I just slept a lot and it went away without any trouble. I’ll let you know if I start oinking or growing a curly little tail, or hey what’s thiOIIINNK OH CRAP
