So far, I've applied to Rasputin, Dana Street Coffee, Coffee Society, Bookbuyers, and Recycled books.
So far, not much luck.

Yo. Yo.
This is bullshit.
Neither Target nor Toys R Us have the type of Yo-Yo I was looking for. I just want a ball-bearing Yo-Yo without flashy lights, is that really so much to ask?
Toys used to be so simple and entertaining. Now its about movement, expensive replacement parts, flashy lights, and what can kick you in the face harder.
Like this life size storm trooper toy. Look at its small, expensive parts and face kicking action.
(not one of my pictures, by the way.)

Education crisis
What I really don't understand, with the state deficit affecting school systems, and classes all over California being impacted;
Why the fuck are there elderly people in my classes?
I'm not talking about middle aged people trying to better themselves, I'm talking about straight up old people. Retired old people. Retired old people that are taking class spots away from people trying to transfer.
It's a well known fact that classes in community colleges, UCs, and CSUs are completely fucked right now. The fact that people that have no intention of transferring to a four year university from community college are given priority over those who are doesn't sit quite right with me.
If the state cannot solve the deficit and lack of funding set towards education, then priority should be given to those of age and in need of an education, not those that are of old age and in need of something to do in retirement.
I'm not saying ban them from taking classes, that would be absurd. It just seems that people trying to add classes cannot, or are wait-listed, after people that don't need the class for transferable credit. I just don't think they should be given priority in any which way, and given class spots based on availability after other students.

I lost my job today.
If anybody knows of any place they think I'd be interested in in Cupertino/San Jose/Mountain View area that is hiring, please let me know.
Oh, but some old guy screamed "faggot" at me and flipped me off from the street today, so that was awesome. It's all about the small pleasantries.

The bobblehead nods with every thump to let me know I'm fucked. Damn you, dashboard Darth Vader.
On a somewhat related note, some interesting statements of the day:
"...on auto-pilot for misery."
"I try to be a good person with varying degrees of success."
Why they were said is a completely different story.

A little bit of absolutely nothing.
I cut my hair when I don't have anything to do.
I took a substantial chunk out of the back that is completely bald now.
Oops.
