The Giant Fighting Robot Report

I am dubious. (I am metal.) I am stainless. I am milk in your plastic.

Coffee talk

Back at work today, though it's dead week before finals and things are pretty quiet. Though last night I did find this great song about Libertarians off of dKos. A sample:

I am the very model of a modern Libertarian:
I teem with glowing notions for proposals millenarian,
I've nothing but contempt for ideologies collectivist
(My own ideas of social good tend more toward the Objectivist).
You see, I've just discovered, by my intellectual bravery,
That civic obligations are all tantamount to slavery;
And thus that ancient pastime, viz., complaining of taxation,
Assumes the glorious aspect of a war for liberation!

[Chorus:]
You really must admit it's a delightful revelation:
To bitch about your taxes is to fight for liberation!

I have a feeling I will be humming this a lot in certain situations from now on.

I need to make some phone calls today. Unlike some folks, I don't hate the phone. I take after my maternal unit in that I am sometimes difficult to remove from conversations, actually. Still, all things considered, I'd rather be at home playing Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
