Damn, that sucks. I daydream about being done with grad school, but given the corporate climate, I know I have it good enough right now.

Also, I don't know Japanese yet. Are you teaching us to write curse words?

Also also, I hadn't seen that icon before, but it made me smirk. But mostly it made me want to watch Donnie Darko for like the fifty-seventh time.

Yes, that is a curse word. English translation=shit.

It's an icon that makes fun of Twilight. I've actually not seen Donnie Darko, although I do know that it's a reference to a dance team from that movie?

Right, yeah, I get that it's a Twilight joke. I found it amusing. The line is spoken by Beth Grant (one of those Hey! It's That Lady! actresses who seems to have bit parts in everything ever); her character is the coach of the dance team and she's admonishing another mother for not being willing to make sacrifices for their daughters' hilarious team.

That last sentence in my comment was not supposed to have a question mark at the end. Ugh. :p

The vampires in Twilight sparkle. It's become a joke on one blogs I read that the really ridiculous/hilarious shit that goes on in the fandom is referred to as Sparkle Motion.

Sounds like you and Stu are in the same boat. I broke the news to him today that he got stuck in a hiring freeze too.

yeah, mine's a single freeze that just lasts for a long time. A lot of my friends are having a hard time, even some that got jobs over are getting laid off.
