coming out day, wulaw style :(

happy national coming out day!!! :D

and, on a related yet less happy note...am i the only one who thinks it's completely messed-up that the army JAG is doing their on-campus interviewing at school today, on national coming-out day?¹ i doubt it was planned that way, but it's still really unnerving, and quite obnoxious. it's at best a terrible coincidence.

sigh. i wonder what the ameliorative measure is going to be this year. it had better be better than last year, the "being out in the workplace" workshop that disseminated no helpful information and turned out to be an hourlong ad for firm x, whose people did the workshop.² that was pretty darned tasteless...yes, it's great to know that firm x is a great place for queers to work, but not everyone is going to work there, and not everyone wants a firm job to begin with. hopefully the flak and fallout from last year is enough to get the school to do something better than that this year.

¹ yay! happy coming out day! wanna interview for a place where you have to shove yourself back into the closet? closer, closer...there's that slap in the face for you.
² firm x shall remain nameless here, although if you're at wash u or you've heard me bitch about that last year, i'm sure you know who it is.

red bull

okay, vault zero probably doesn't actually taste terrible...i think i'm just so tired and flipped out about my seminar paper that my taste buds have gotten very confused.

that big sip of red bull i just took tasted like chocolate. i know that's not right. it's reasonable to think that vault zero may actually taste bad instead of good, but there's no way that a green concoction composed of water, sucrose, glucose, sodium citrate, taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, niacinamide, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin b12, artificial flavours, and artificial colours can taste like dark chocolate. that is a thoroughly unreasonable result.

lesson? law school is bad for your health and your sanity.
