Tuesday Hatred: If an angel were ever to tell us anything of his philosophy I believe many propositions would sound like 2 times 2 equals 13.

Today, in additional to the hatred by me to which you have over the course of this month grown somewhat accustomed, falling each Tuesday into the gentle rhythms of my prose as into a warm buoyant sea of amniotic fluid (amniotic fluid's specific gravity isn't much higher than water's, it's not particularly buoyant, but this sea is salted with tears—tears of hatred!) into which you've been shoved lightly by one of your friends who thinks you'd enjoy it, it's no big deal anyway, why would you get so upset?, because the GOD___DAMN__FUCKER doesn't realize that you're a little TENSE right now and want to be left alone/he or she just ruined your new shoes/shirt/pants/dress/wallet/money/important documents you were carrying in your shoes/shirt/pants/dress/wallet/money or for whatever other reason, and now the whole rest of the day has this unpleasant pallor on it even though everyone's being polite and no one wants to admit that you should all just go home, cut your losses, etc—in addition to that, there will some guest hatred by the lovely and talented A White Bear (I didn't check this with Adam, so don't tell him, k? thx.). It will be below my hatred, because I hate being upstaged.

I think the 2 Minutes Hate is in L-O-V-E over here!


There are no fewer things I hate, but only one that I hate with a graceful, effortless lambency, only one thing the hatred of which casts its glow over all my life. Lemme run down the sitch for you. I thought that, next quarter, I'd be able to TA (first time TAing ev4r w00!) this course. Note how it seems like a good course and how I would be a super-awesome TA for it. However, it has now come up that I can't, for two reasons, each of which would have been sufficient on its own, but whose combination is one than which none deadlier is concievable. First, another student with greater seniority than I have was assigned to it, something about which I really can't complain. Second, its first half overlapped with the second half of one of the two courses (in the philosophy department) I really wanted to take, and its second half with the first half of the other of the tc(itpd)Irwtt. So, that's bad, and I was put on a different course. However it also overlaps with the first ottc(itpd)Irwtt, and get this—nearly every other course I've located in other departments that I'd want to take meet at such a time that they too are ruled out! I think it's a sign, I really do.
