Almost four years ago today, all the leaders of the Democratic party gathered secretly in a large conference room to discuss the future of the America ( Read more... )

Damn Yankees. There’s no need for me to use livejournal to rehash the details of the series or profess my undying loathing for all things in pinstripes. That’s been done. But I’d still like to send them all to Iraq or something. Actually, they’d probably win ( Read more... )

Oh, thank God it's Friday. I feel like last weekend was about a month ago. Unfortunately, my ankle is not yet a month better. I ditched the crutches ahead of schedule and now I'm in an air-cast. As long as I walk slowly it isn't a big problem. I wasn't into the whole handicapped-access thing anyway. It made me feel like I was inconveniencing other ( Read more... )

Ah, Saturday. Oh all the days of the week, you are the one that finds me least motivated. Week one of classes is over, which means that I finally know my course schedule: Statistics, American Public Opinion, Greek Heroes, and my Gov. Tutorial. It should be an interesting semester content-wise, but I also have to read about 300 pages a week, which ( Read more... )

A couple of months ago, I was really pissed to be stuck in Currier House. Currier is a solid 10-12 minute walk from Harvard Square, from any of my classes, and from any T-station. It also looks like a motel. So I thought my room/living situation this year was going to suck. I was so wrong ( Read more... )

Damn. All this talk of school makes me want to go back. Unfortunately, move in week is Sept 11-17. So I'm stuck here a little while longer with not much to do. Which brings me to my question: If you had one week with close to zero obligations, what would you do? So far I've come up with these ideas ( Read more... )

I have not updated my livejournal in two or three months. But I just got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I know all of you want to read about that, so I figured it was time for an update. If ever you should want four holes cut into your mouth, I recommend that you look up Doctor Hunter. Fine chap, he is. The operation went well, and now I'm just ( Read more... )

I've been home for a week now and I haven't found a job yet, so I'm trying to make productive use of my time by unpacking and cleaning stuff and throwing old things away. It's going well enough I suppose. But like my allergy to cats or Tom Morello's wah-wah pedal, my sense of nostalgia is very easily triggered. Tireless effort was expended on all ( Read more... )

Apparently, my sister has been going to a school called Bates for awhile. But after four years, Bates and Justine have decided to amicably part ways. Similar mutual agreements were made between Bates and most of Justine's friends. So they decided to have a dress-up party and some speeches, and my family agreed to attend. This is why I'm typing my ( Read more... )

It's been a damn long time since I updated, and all sorts of stuff has happened since. Besides my work and stuff, I've been trying to figure out what to major in (I have until May 10), and I've been giving my summer job some thought. Not serious thought, mind you. So far I've considered (and rejected) the following options ( Read more... )
