So… for those of you who are not yet aware, here’s a summary: I managed to land a job in Hawaii, I moved here roughly three weeks ago and have been unnecessarily busy getting temporary logistics and job-related rigmarole worked out… and that’s where I am/have been. Sarah will be moving here in late July or so, once she finishes college and the cats’ quarantine window opens. Hawaii doesn’t play.
As such, I’ve been way too distracted to be angry at or insightful about anything; so here’s a long-winded and vaguely poignant treatise I wrote a few weeks ago to help out Sarah on something she was doing for school. Her resulting paper was excellent, but I fear it may have fallen upon deaf ears; ironically, students in Communications classes seem to be those individuals who are least interested in hearing the ideas of others. And they chew their gum with their mouths open, belying an intelligence not dissimilar from many other ruminant mammals. Please note for the record that this was an excellent opportunity to use the meme “sheeple” and I exhibited remarkable restraint for a writer/satirist/philosopher of my modest caliber. I hope this can somehow begin to make up for my incredibly tasteless use of the “Sally and Mindy Super-Hottie” metaphor back in the day. Enjoy!
