Aside from a few papers left to write, I have officially completed my undergraduate career at Northwestern. My last "final" occurred last night and kicked off what I imagine to be a week or more of surreal experiences as I close out the year. The "exam" that Paul - professor of Performance of Shakespeare - had prepared for us was a series of ( Read more... )

I don't know how many of you ever played The Oregon Trail for the good ol' Apple IIe, but thanks to my dear friend Charlie (meeting her is one of the things I am most thankful for about working on the nightmare that was Caucasian Chalk Circle), I have recently rediscovered it using the magic of emulation.

I definitely just upgraded to a paid account so I could upload two new icons. Yes, I'm just that narcissistic. But! Now I can do fun things like drunk-dial LJ again! It's been so long...
