The Daily Adventures of Mercat

again, for not being around lately. I'm way busy with senior design and applying to grad schools, and if you need me you will find me over in ontd_political's most recent live-post on the Mid. East/N. Africa/world revolution happenings.

I may suck at politics but I am very good at collecting information, it seems.

If you find yourself wondering what in the world we can do while ruling bodies seemingly do nothing (a complicated issue, I know), I am collecting links in a typewithme document called "How Can I Help?" (http://typewith.me/howcanihelp)

Thanks, and next week we should return to your more regularly scheduled programming...



And now, your moment of world-politics zen (found on Twitter) amidst all the violence and disinterest:

"My name is Freedom; born in Tunisia, raised in Egypt, studied in Yemen, fought in Libya and I'll grow up in all the Arab world."

:3

Yeah, so, even though I got back last night and could have posted, I'm technically still on spring break and enjoying the relaxation, plus a multitude of other issues I will get to later.

God, I have so much to write and right now I just do not freaking care. So, in the meantime, linkspamination!

Goddamnit, I did not know it was this possible to hate crocs. They are already the ugliest shoe on the planet... are these really necessary?! (BTW, only the classic style are truly horrific. The Mary Janes and flipflops are perfectly acceptable; it's just that the regular ones make everyone but toddlers look like ridiculous gardeners.) But this, I just... I have no words. What the shit are those things?!

Oh, HELL NO. Fuck you, scientology. You're worse than the effing commies.

Wow, I am a lazy-ass. I have lots of links and news to make up for my week of Indy-countdown absence, but I am just not in the mood to be posting them. (53 days)

Bleh. I am just not really in the mood today.
