quite the contrary
ok, since nancy pointed out that all the things that i'm writing about are on a "hate society" point of view, i'm forced to find something nice or humurous to say. so here it is, just for you nancy pants.
random:
The unique research operation is being conducted about 84 million miles away from Earth. But Ms Bai has argued its effects will “disrupt the natural balance of forces in the universe” and claims the experiment has violated her “life and spiritual values”.
She said: “It is obvious my horoscope will be deformed now that elements of the comet’s orbit and associated ephemera have been changed after the explosion.” Her lawyer Alexander Molokhov, said his client believed the experiment “infringes upon the natural life of the cosmos, and will disrupt the natural balance of forces in the universe.”
Personal:
Went in to starbucks this morning (i know i know, it's like they put drugs in the coffee) and as i'm walking away, one of their people gives me a free $5 card worth one coffee. now, how nice is that. mind you, i'm not fooled. i know, and they know, that i'm paying WAY too much money for one coffee, so this is their way of trying to lure me into say "oh, that's very nice, see, starbucks is giving away christmas gifts for free coffee". i will not say this, and just in case there are starbucks people out there reading blogs, you know that i know that you know that these are ridiculous prices for water, flavour, steam, and a teaspoon full of actual coffee. but me must have white-choc-mocha-grande-no whip. it goes back to what laura penny writes about the large companies that do food drives since they get to write them off as charity and pay less taxes. but hey, i got two of those starbucks badboy cards, and i even gave one to someone at the office who won't bug starbucks cause it's too expensive. so she had a treat this morning. i'm so generous (shush, i know it didn't cost me anything, its the thought that counts right?) see, now i'm even trying to convert people for starbucks. they should be paying me.
