Songs on Abbey Road Better than Abbey Road

(Or, "There Was No Cane in Citizen Kane!")

Imagine, if you will, a world in a universe very like our own.

In which I actually wrote this post before completely forgetting what the hell it was going to be about.

Did you enjoy it?

what is the last day of school?

the last day of school is the day when the weight lifts no, thats not it, the last day is the day when your not giving a shit becomes legitimate, when you can finally stop caring because you stop feeling bad about it because you know your education is worthwhile but its finally the day when you can celebrate not doing something worthwhile, for at least a while.

Housekeeping IV: A new hope

HI KIDS.

I've added this "rate posts" doohickey, and this retweet doohickey, for the sole reason that I thought they might be fun. If anyone objects to either one on moral, legal, or religious grounds, I'll be happy to get rid of it.

On that note, anyone have any fun ideas they'd like to see implemented? I thought about a "top comment-leavers" reel but kiboshed it cause I couldn't decided if "commenters" or "commentors" looked less stupid.
