"It Comes In Pints?"
Today was blood donor day. Fun was had. Needles were used. Blood was extracted. Cookies were devoured with wanton abandon. And it looked like I was having so much fun that Mel decided, what the hell, why not try it herself? Spontaneous blood donating is sure to become the new fad for dates. I'm sure of it.
I must confess though: it makes for a rather arduous task to try and donate blood when the donor clinics are usually held in the middle of a work shift in a mall that you don't work in. As a result, I haven't been able to donate blood as often as I'd like. Granted, I'm not in that prestigious AB "universal recipient" club, or that equally elitist O Negative "universal donor" club, but hey! O Positives are people too!
Besides, when you get right down to it, donating blood means good things. Namely Coke and cookies. Oh...and there's that whole "saving lives" thing too. But it's mostly about the cookies.
In other news, I finished reading the
Ghost In The Shell 2 manga. And at the risk of sounding like an idiot, I have absolutely no idea what the hell happened in it. Lot of E-hacking and brain hijacking. Lot of philosophical and science and religious discussions. Definitely lots of not-so-subtly veiled fanservice. And I think all but the fanservice flew right over my head. Something tells me I'll have to read it again, or else act intellectually superior in an attempt to hide my "having no fscking clue" status if anyone asks what I thought of the manga.
I need to find myself some Shirow Coles notes...
And for those of you playing the home version of our game,
Today's Asking Asshats totalled: 6. (I swear, I will be the happiest retail trencher alive once school starts again, and people may actually take the time to read a sign.)
