I hate accounting.
Yes, I recognize that it is the language of business and is extremely important. But I don’t care. I hate it. I hate having to memorize all of the arcane terminology. I hate trying to remember when to apply the contra asset account and why you debit the cash account when you’re acutally adding to it.
And of course, I have a quiz on the subject tonight, so I’m currently trying to get some of the above to stick in my thick skull.
Bleh.
With a quiz and a paper due today, and a test tomorrow, I don’t have much time to enjoy it though.
Steve M from “No More Mister Nice Blog” is shuttering his blog.
I’m bummed; his was one of the ones I really liked.
Althought I have strong feeling on the subject of Israel, I rarely blog about it. This is in part because I think it’s easy for me to have an opinion while sitting safely here in America, but the people who are actually living through it probably don’t appreciate the armchair quarterbacking. Also, because my position is hard to explain and tends to satisfy nobody. Some don’t like it that I have little good to say about the Palestinian leadership and the practices of Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, et al. Others believe whatever Israel does is right without qualification.
So all in all, I tend to let the subject be. There’s plenty of other things to blog about. However, today I ran across an entry in the Bull Moose Blog that I liked. It’s short and worth a read.
One of the many things I’m working on these days is summer internship applications. With that in mind, here’s something depressing about job opportunities for women:
Did Stan Shih Really Say that a Woman’s Place was in the Home?
Stan Shih is the CEO of Acer.
I don’t have any new cute cat pictures, so today I’ll share the random contents of my iTunes Party Shuffle:

I really need to start listening to more newer artists but I don’t have the time or more important the money to start buying a lot of stuff in the hopes I’ll like some of it.
UPDATE: If you like cat blogging, Atrios has a particlarly nice shot of his gray cat this week.
