So lock the door, and hit the floor, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
I think that Santa broke into our house last night ( Read more... ) -
Recurring Acadoomia
I swear that I am going to grind my term paper's thesis statement into a thick, sticky paste, with which I will then bond together my "fortress of sources," drag it to the nearest bridge, attach the mass to my feet..... eh, screw it, too much work ( Read more... ) -
Music for a Gathered Mass
Tonight, I led Carleton's Contemporary Music Ensemble in a test of my recent aleatoric composition experiment; I wanted to do this before I start trying to formalize its elements into something larger. The fundamental concept is simple, but evaluating and dictating the controls is something more difficult - it must remain performable for a non- ( Read more... ) -
"Where you going, Marissa? You going to hide the corpses?"
As Katie the Cat gets more used to our place, she's been able to spend nights inside while we sleep, meowing loudly when she needs to go outside for the bathroom (we've yet to convince her that she can do that sort of thing inside); It's a hassle to wake up, but better than leaving her outside in the cold ( Read more... ) -

"... very nice place to live - the apartment will be sheared with 2 other students."
It sounds... cozy? -
In which he talks about school
The first (mostly) full week of classes is over, save for the music theory course taught by a professor currently at a conference in Vienna. Wednesdays are currently a mess, with eight+ hours of classes and little opportunity to sleep the night before. Unfortunately, this schedule will persist for the entire school year, which leaves me a bit ( Read more... ) -
It's time to learn... how to behave... at... funerals!
Normally I'm not one to post links to videos, but this one is deserving. It's a Saturday Night Live skit from 2001 that I've been waiting five years to see a second time, and is what every kids show ought to aspire to be - loud, Germanic, and frightening. I've posted it for viewing and download, but I suggest that you watch it now, before it ( Read more... )
