If you're restless now, try to sleep later, about two hours before you have to leave (two hours because that's approximately one complete REM cycle, so you won't wake up in the middle of a cycle and feel less rested).

That's a good idea, thanks
Really, I'm probably getting myself worked up over nothing
The store is less than five minutes from my house, and the interview for a stocking job can't possibly be that in-depth, so I'm looking at probably a half hour at the most
Running on minimal sleep will be just fine, since that's the norm for me anyway
After a proper night's sleep, I'm finding that I've made an excellent recovery.
Headache's almost gone, chest pain's disappeared completely. Only thing left is a sore throat and mucus in a variety of wacky colors. And honestly, mucus in a variety of wacky colors is the best part of being sick.
It's kind of sad that the body can only truly embrace it's full color spectrum when it's feeling ill. Or if you, I dunno, eat a lot of carrots or something until your skin turns orange.
The US and the UK were divided internally by a "common evil" of inequality, Gove said. "Both our countries have great educational institutions of which we can be proud … but in both our countries access to those great educational institutions, those universities and schools, is rationed and restricted, increasingly, to those who live in upscale neighbourhoods, have parents who have access to connections, and are supported by stable families.
"Those children who were unfortunate enough to grow up in poverty, without a stable family background, without access to those connections, find it increasingly difficult to benefit from education."
How can one man store so much cognitive dissonance without exploding?

I miss Sredni Vashtar too
He and I gushed about our boyfriends over PMs a lot

V-Fivefs story is very cheesy and is more than a little bit self-aware. It is about this horrifically hard video game that has been released in the year 2210. This video game, also called V-Five, takes its victims and pulls them in while making them hopelessly addicted like druggies in an opium house. The government sends in an agent, presumably the player, to investigate this evil video game to save its victims by beating the game. The arcade cabinet or cartridge supposedly contains this evil game from the future and you, the player, has supposedly been told by the government to beat this game. It tries to blur the line between fiction and reality a little, but really the story is just an excuse to blow stuff up.
This line of thinking seems illegitimate to most reviewers. You can’t question a game’s genre. You are supposed to take the game on its own genre terms, see what it’s trying to do within them, and then evaluate it fairly. But what if what it’s trying to do is dumb? Telling the story of a violent man trying to come to terms with his crimes while using lightning to make heads explode is dumb. Creating a world of delusion, suffering, and historical evil and them making you feel awesome as you plow through it is beyond dumb. This is not meaningful violence. This is having your cake and chain-lightning it too.
I think this is my favorite part of the negative Bioshock Infinite Review.

It's an inherent flaw in attempting an anti-violence message in video games. You have two options: Make the game fun, going against the message, or make the game unfun, which naturally comes with an array of issues of its own. Of course, you could put it in a game without violence in the first place, but then it'll just fall flat.
There are times when Socrates does complain that poetry says nothing at all, that it comes from ignorance and leaves its audience as ignorant as they had been. To my mind such comments have received disproportionate attention. Empty-headed ignorance only matters to Socrates (as Plato portrays him) when people mistake that ignorance for expertise. Children are ignorant, and the dialogues do not advocate silencing children; they don’t have to, because no one mistakenly believes that children possess valued knowledge. What we get with poetry is sometimes a belief that one’s ignorant condition is actually a state of knowledge – here you can think of Ion in the last third of the dialogue named after him – and sometimes something more perverse, that you might read as the willful preference for ignorance over knowledge. Plato seems to be accusing poetry’s audience of that willful preference at different places in the Republic.
Whichever way Plato formulates the problem with poetry, the question becomes: Why does this ignorant material of poetry achieve the credibility we see it to have? Why do people prefer an aptly-worded line of verse that says nothing at all, or that communicates unseemly content, over a sober and judicious statement, supported by evidence and logic? The problem is that much worse when poetry expresses false statements, bad enough when it offers vacuities (“Neither a borrower nor a lender be”); as for poetry that issues in wise rational counsel, well there hasn’t been much of that. The Phaedrus and the Republic both allow proper moralizing poetry but treat it as the exception to the genre.
