This is my lament. A real lament this time. Like. It was an iTouch, you know? Pretty pricey around the edges. Pretty neat and apps and stuff. Pretty free. Okay, here's the story:
Dad works at Cisco. Cisco had this thing where it would give all its 10 year employees a little Apple mp3 for sticking around with them so long. This year, it was my dad's 10th year, and the prize in the golden box was... DING DING DING an ITOUCH!!!! :O I know. Drown in its awesomeness.
And then. MARKET CRISIS!!! -makes exaggerated hand and body motions depicting giant mud slide- -slumps on floor, quivering uncontrollably while frothing at mouth- So, Cisco no longer has the little extra happy money to spare for its loyal worker ants, no blame at all there, since its better this than my parents getting layed off. No money = no iTouch. -twitches on ground-
On a Happy Note, here is Jasmine Su's Awesome Haiku About Bush (edited by moi since I cannot remember it properly)
-coughs- Drumroll, please? DUDNDUDNDUDNDND
Bush One man's destiny Was to bring peace to the world Instead, he brought war
Doesn't that little ray of sunshine totally sum up our beloved former president's, well, presidency? It also has the proper haiku techniques: it's deep, the title adds surprising insight, and it's like... cool. Really, if she didn't title it "Bush", you'd probably wonder if it was Julius Caesar, or maybe Chris Brown.
