Normally there's a very distinct reason why Inga refrains from writing poetry.
If any of you think you need some halfassedly-composed love today, you are welcome to print this out and dedicate it to yourself, with my blessings.

I've got myelin sheaths like woooah.
The CU psychology department has a rather amusing way of finding lab rats: it offers unsuspecting intro students extra credit for letting themselves be experimented upon. I took the bait today, and rented my gray matter out to a grad student at a 2.5 points-per-hour wage. She explained that I would be hooked up to an EEG (Electrozap Entelligence ( Read more... ) -
I feel like an idiot.
A rant while I'm still mad about it:
I went to Barnes and Noble this week looking for some HP Lovecraft, hoping to dislodge the literary blood clot that has been stuck in one of my major arteries ever since I had to face the profound disappointment that was Pnin (which, when combined with Ada, or Ardor makes two blows in a row to the sacred name ( Read more... ) -
Brackish Adventures, Part Twelve!
This side of Christmas break, I actually broke down and bought some aquatic friends, more aptly titled "Tester Fish." I decided that if I could keep a few fish alive until the time I got paid next, I would feel confident enough in my water conditions to look into some Actual Beasts. Enter Carlos the Black Molly and Skinner the Plecostomus; they ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
It feels strange to write this, knowing the general demographics of my slight audience, but considering the post I just half-wrote before deleting and substituting as seen here, I believe it's not by any means unwarranted. I would like to ask for prayers. I am going to keep my usual catish aloofness and not spell out here the nature of the grief ( Read more... ) -
Un Experimento de Pensamiento

A quick Christmas list for the English language...
1. Gender-Neutral Third Person Pronouns: This is largely thanks to my Phil-'n-Soc TA, who threatened to mark me down on my papers if I continued to use all masculine pronouns. Apparently even philosophy must meet the day's standard of Political Correctitivity, which means I am obligated to adapt ( Read more... ) -
Are false names allowed to inherit international fortunes?
I don't even know what to say about this, other than bwahahahahaha!! I promise I didn't change a single word ( Read more... ) -
Public Atonement Time
I did a rather bad thing today. I got into an argument with a non-philosophy major in my Philosophy and Society recitation. There's a strange distinction to be made here; if you are a medical student listening to someone trying to tell you how they got the flu because they had a misbalance of the four bodily humors (damn that black bile...), you ( Read more... ) -
If I contract tetanus, will you still love me?
I was just on the verge of an ubermanicdepressive post about abysses and Nietzsche and such, but then I checked my registration status for next semester, and discovered that at least one of my prayers has been answered. Yes, I am both superficial and easily distracted. But check this madness out: Symbolic Logic, History of Philosophy (Ancient), ( Read more... )
