Blacklist

This is a terrible idea that I've wanted to ask about for a long time. What journal(s) do you want to place on a blacklist? With or without reason. Where shouldn't we send?

Currently mine is The Baltimore Review, because I followed up twice with no response and have waited 10+ months. Not even a form rejection. And they have online submissions. And other people get responses in, like, two months. I'm just saying, tell me it's lost. Tell me it's not worth that digital postage.

RAWR!

Diane Black doesn't like black people

Senator Diane Black (R) from Tennessee makes me want to puke. If you're feeling the same or somewhere close to that, please join me and send her an email concerning her reprehensible actions:
sen.diane.black@capitol.tn.gov

(one of her staffers sent out a terribly offensive and racist email that pictured Obama as a pair of wide white eyes on a black back ground. unfortunately, Diane feels that this type of behavior is okay. she didn't fire her employee, she supposedly gave the employee a "sharp reprimand." too bad for her that the newspapers got a hold of her "sharp reprimand" which reads much more like a subtle, "so sorry you got caught.")

spreading the intellect

I just want to point out that the new griffin school website features famous writer Amelia Gray's handwriting.

My # 1

My vote for Number One Most Annoying Video of all Times is:
Beyonce's Halo. It even starts badly, Beyonce gazing into the camera soulfully showing the kind of sincerity for which people should get beat up.

A Nickleback video ran a close second though.

Have videos honestly reached a new level of predicitability? Or were they just a new experience when I was 13 and predictable then too?

So what video most bothers you? (Or who else can't sleep and likes to fuck around on the internet because what else can you do at this hour?)

Baby!

I'm pregnant! Woot, woot! 7 weeks.
