Somebody's onto our crazy antics up in the Cultural Studies department of the University, and that man is Paul R. Nelson.

Minnesota was pretty bland and unwonderful compared to Banff, but I guess I should have expected that. Most of the places we went were either indoors or artificial (like the zoo), so there was none of the majestic beauty of Sulphur Mountain or Lake Louise ( Read more... )

I've been awake for an awfully long time. Now I have to go to work for a long time ( Read more... )

I had a dream that I was talking on the phone with Marilyn Manson. He had an English accent for some reason and I couldn't hear all that he was saying. I asked him if he liked sculpture as an art form, and he answered but I couldn't quite hear him, so I said "I think it's interesting, it's a very hands-on form of expression ( Read more... )

William Empson has made my interests list. Why? Because I didn't have quite enough "Williams" yet, that's why.

I'm restless and upset because I'm applying at Domo but have a university degree. It feels like the weight of my decisions in life are coming crashing down.

I think I'll pay a visit to the University of Winnipeg career search center for something reassuring.

On second thought, I'm probably just depressed because I'm not in school right now.
