Final Birthday Post

A couple of things before I turn in.

First, I ran across this article on MSN/Slate about the state of the U.S. Army. It's got some good information, but once you get about halfway through it, the information turns into an ignorant diatribe against President Bush. If you're worth your salt, you'll be able to sift through the garbage and get the information you need to be aware of. On a side note, if you're from MSN/Slate and you're reading this, you could do a helluva lot better than this Fred Kaplan dumbass. Any idiot can quote Global Security; your readership is going to decline on account of Kaplan's sententious rants.

Also, if you're in the mood for something a little scandalous, Slate also has some slideshow about the history of female stimulaton. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I had an outstanding dinner with my buddy Matt, who spells it "M@" whenever he possibly can. The only drawback of our evening was that the pizza joint we always go to has stopped carrying Guinness. It honestly took me about five minutes to figure out a substitute beer, and it wasn't up to snuff.

The only other event worthy of note is the arrival of a very important package. The morning after my graduation party, I ordered a used copy of The Principles and Practice of Embalming from Amazon Marketplace, which is to say, all of the schmucks in their mother's basement who want to sell used books on the Internet and don't wind up using eBay to do it. I'd basically given up on it, as the site said it was supposed to ship within forty-eight business hours, and that was two weeks ago. Luckily, though, it's arrived, and I'll send an E-Mail of thanks to the seller... Tomorrow.

G'night, folks. Keep it real.
