Lately, I've been applying for summer internships at consulting firms, but they're impossible to get. Being an adult is hard!

Ketchup is evil. Ketchup is an abomination that must be destroyed. To paraphrase Dr Van Helsing "I have studied, over and over again since they came into my hands, all the papers relating to this ketchup; and the more I have studied, the greater seems the necessity to utterly stamp it out". Ketchup is nasty.

Picked up a copy of Twomorrows' Best of the Legion Outpost last week during their 75-percent-off clearance sale on select items &, judging from Facebook, might well have snagged the last one. Haven't had much of a chance to look it over, but I was intrigued to see in one of the reprinted editorials that a guy named Loyd Auerbach was involved with the zine from the get-go. That would undoubtedly be the same Loyd Auerbach who's made quite a name for himself as an author on the paranormal fringe.

Ugh. I got to campus early to get caught up on some grading, but I forgot everything I wanted to work on at home.

Those fanzine compliations are pretty neat, though the ones I see online seem to go for a pretty hefty price.

Really feeling my age this morning. Went on my church's 4th/5th grade retreat this weekend as the meal and kitchen coordinator, and I got suckered into playing games with the kids outside, which involved running and jumping and dodging balls being thrown and the like. It also didn't help that we were staying in cabins on wooden bunks, that the weather was a little damp and cool, or that the kids decided to stay up until all hours of the morning, which I understand, but it's not necessarily something I wanted to do myself.

Combining two threads: here's a fun idea - make vanilla pudding, put it in a mayonnaise jar and go out in public and eat it.

Welp, I'm about to head off to my first day on the new job. It will be mostly training, should turn out fine.
