Yes, this really is yet another blog by a disillusioned grad student. I sympathize, but that's just the way it has to be. For hints as to what my bizarre alias means, click here and here and, if needed, here and here. To get a sense of what I'm up to, feel free to check out the sections called "Toward a Wiseass Creed" and "Showings: Some Introductory Wiseassery" in my main blog's left-hand sidebar. Please be aware that spamming, harassing, or otherwise obnoxious comments will be deleted and traced.

How to Spend $300 in 30 Minutes Without Really Trying

1) Take your lunch break.

2) Buy a horrific parody of Chicken Cordon Bleu with flourescent yellow gravy because it is the best food you can find on campus.

3) Take said parody to the grad lounge.

4) Sit down at a computer and log on while trying not to pay attention to what you're eating.

5) Buy the entertainment center you need at Overstock.com.

4) Go to Target.com.

6) Discover that the desk and bookcase you need are now available with free shipping.

7) Purchase said items.
