So! Today I am twenty, and today has also been pretty rad and full of people feeding me and giving me things of awesome. (:D!) I cut and dyed my hair, so now it is less ratty and multicolored than it was. I also just spent the past week in the Adirondacks, which was also awesome. I climbed a mountain and my muscles still haven't forgiven me. I also helped do tech support for the town library and swam, both of which were pretty fun, and the swimming was something I hadn't done in a while. I am now back to playing FFVIII, which is a party.

Also, chocolate zucchini bread is not only a good way to get rid of zucchini (as you do), but it tastes pretty much like chocolate cake. I am a fan.

Pictures of hair forthcoming when my face is also not blue and the poofiness from the bleach has subsided. It isn't my usual dye, but it's what they had, so I rolled with it.

Comcast Has 30 Days To 'Fess Up About P2P Throttling

"Comcast has 30 days to disclose the details of its 'unreasonable network management practices' to the Federal Communications Commission, the agency warned Wednesday morning as it released its full, 67-page Order. As FCC Chair Kevin Martin said it would, the Commission's Order rejects the ISP giant's insistence that its handling of peer-to-peer applications was necessary. 'We conclude that the company's discriminatory and arbitrary practice unduly squelches the dynamic benefits of an open and accessible Internet,' the agency declares."

No more C-Store?

Posted by [info]blendedchaitea in [info]brandeis on 2008.08.21 at 13:06
Checked your email recently?

"Toward the end of September, a new Quiznos will open in the old C-Store location on the Boulevard level of Usdan Student Center. Quiznos will be open for both lunch and dinner. This fall semester lunch will not be served at the Stein. The Stein will remain open for dinner and for the popular late night Ollie’s Eatery diner.

At the Faculty Club, additional seating, menu modifications, and hot buffet options have been added to better serve the entire community. The Faculty Club is now open to all faculty, staff, and students who wish to have lunch in that facility.

If you have any questions, please email me (collins@brandeis.edu)."

Emphasis mine.

I don't know about you, but the last thing I need on campus is another crappy sandwich place. I do, however, need the C-store!

Was the student body consulted on this, something that affects us directly and in a very tangible way? I don't remember answering a poll or anything like that.

When it's late at night and the Branvan isn't running so you can't get to CVS and you desperately need condoms/tampons/batteries/shaving cream/Ben and Jerry's/what-have-you, will Quiznos sell it? Will there be another place that does?

Tell this Mr. Mark J. Collins how you feel!

EDIT: Never mind. Apparently they're building a new C-store in Lower Usdan. How they expected us to know this, I do not know...

  • 10:25 Can I not be triple booked on a day when I need to catch up on stuff? That would be nice. Apparently my scheduler doesn't care (shocking). #
  • 11:34 It is really not ok that talking to the person who makes my schedule to ask her not to triple book me is an exercise in futility. (I quit?) #
  • 12:52 So who wants to help me start my own computer building and repair company? (no really) #
  • 16:08 Seeing as it is a bit after 4pm I should probably eat lunch huh? This whole triple booking me at lunch time thing? Not cool. #

  • 08:35 Had to wake up at 6:23am to drive Nikki to Burlington (almost Boston) MA. Almost a 2 hour drive. Missing a few hours of work. Hospitals= :-/ #
  • 15:26 Back from Boston(Ish). Went out to lunch at Arigato II (hibachi!). They have great cheap (really cheap for hibachi) lunch specials. Yum! #
  • 21:22 @bardictortoise @jklm you guys should really get icons. The identical default icon makes using Twitter/twinkle confusing to my eyeballs. #

Transgender Contestant to Compete on Top Model

One of the 14 girls who will compete on the new season of America's Next Top Model – which returns to The CW on September 3 – is transgender.

"My cards were dealt differently," Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively in its new issue, on newsstands now.

Hailing from Prince George's County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as "a woman born physically male."

Will she be a role model?

"I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams," she tells Us.

The inclusion of Isis is being hailed by GLAAD president Neil Giuliano as "an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television.
