OK, for polls like this people always pick what’s fresh in their minds rather than stopping to think about it for half a second, but it’s pretty hard to argue with #1. That song makes me want to claw my own ears off in the same way that “More Than Words” did many years ago.

“James Blunt’s hit You’re Beautiful has been deemed the most irritating song of all time, according to a global online poll by a U.K.-based firm.”

By the way, I don’t know why I have mentioned this before, ’cause it might just be my most favouritest news of the year: The alternate title of the Arcade Fire‘s “Antichrist Television Blues” is “Joe Simpson”. Yup, the father of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson; the song’s an indictment of a creepy man. Well done, AF.

Off to find beer and dinner, in that order.

This is weird. As of noon today we were essentially done the class…just a bunch of prep for tomorrow’s presentation, and then the exam. There’s really nothing to study either, so I might get actual work work done tomorrow night after ordering pizza.

Apparently Bruce Burger of Venice, FL has never seen the movie Happy Gilmore. If he had, this never would have happened:

I love my group. We are blazing fast because we occupy the tricky ground between lazy and efficient. And, dare I say, a little brilliant.

Well, no, I daren’t say that. But we’re not messing around, that’s for sure.

Basically, I could have slept through that entire morning and not really missed anything. Actually, I kind of ended up giving a presentation in a half-assed way, and that was definitely worth skipping.

Lunch was a vegetarian’s nightmare so we went to Subway. I stocked up on some diet pepsi while I was there. Just hooking up the I.V. as I type this…

Bad: dinner. The bad veggie burgers and some fingerling potatoes. I feel ill.

Good: my group meeting. It’s good to have a laid-back, smart group that all gets along and doesn’t feel the need to beat every little point to death. We met after dinner, picked a rough direction, created a tentative outline and half an hour later went our separate ways. Easy.

Awesome: a classmate found me a Diet Pepsi. I hereby swear to deliver to her my firstborn child, should such a thing occur some day.

I am very, very, very tired. And hungry. And it’s fixin’ to be a looooong night.

Anyone up for a little prison breakout? I need mercenaries, transportation and a Hero Burger.

Lunch today: potatoes, Mexican corn and trout. The potatoes were edible, the rest less so.

The alarm clock in my room is enormous. It looks kind of like the machine that Jeff Goldblum builds in The Fly. Or the monolith in 2001. It also has more controls than an F-16 cockpit. On the plus side, I can plug my Zen into it and the sound isn’t too bad.
