It's All About the Benjamins

Jump to Comments Dear all you DST losers:
You suck. DST is total inanity. You say you save physical energy — a fraction of one percent of electrical usage, per day — by messing around with your clocks twice a year. Well, think about how much mental energy has been expended in order to change millions of clocks tonight, all the subroutines that have had to been added to computer software since the 1950s to make all your banking mainframes and defense hardware make a seemless transition from one count of time to another. Is that what this is all really about? Barrels of oil? How lame. Thank the Founding Father-dudes for freaking States’ Rights.

I woke up on Samstag at about 0900, and stayed in bed until 1145 or so, when I became entirely too sick and tired of waiting for Ivan to get up. I fisnished up Arthur C. Clarke’s Rama II Freitagabend, and started on the follow-up, Garden of Rama, after I got out of bed. At about 6, I decided to go to dinner. I was really out of it for some reason; no less than two people tried repeatedly to get my attention during dinner and it took me a good half minute or two to recognize it. Man, that was pretty funny.

Got back to my room and tooled around on the Internet for a while, and realized that it was Palm Sunday. It’s this time of year that I kind of wish I were Catholic, since we never do anything special, and I think it’s kind of bad. I dif finally remember something that’s done by my whatevers, at least down here in the South: new set of clothes for Easter.

So, I’ve decided to buy myself a new outfit. I saw a nice one on Banana Republic, and decided to replicate it with Gap stuff, since it’s cheaper. Also, Brooks Brothers, since they have nicer ties and they’re cheaper than BR for whatever reason when it comes to ties.
So:
Gap Poplin Blazer
Gap Patterned Straight Collar Shirt (stripe)
Gap Relaxed Fit Pleated Khakis
Brooks Brothers Stain Resistant Solid Pindot Tie

I think I’m just going to go to evening service of church tomorrow. I don’t want to madrugate just because some morons think timeshifting is a good idea. It’s already 3 AM here, thanks to those idiots.
