I have a kitten! She will live with Stacy soon! If possible, you could come and snuggle her!

Also, hugs!

Boo. Apparently it's a Collectively Bad Week(s) for loads of people. You guys should file a complaint.

(also, hopefully things look up soon!)

Yes, today did suck. And continues to suck. But the kitties help! And yes, academia, depressing, frustration, hell, reed, stress, thesis.

take up and read

...Wait, is that St Augustine?

Which reminds one, of course, of the Third Essay from Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals, to wit:

"How can one make such a fuss about one's little lapses as these pious little men do! Who gives a damn? Certainly not God."

tolle, lege, tolle, lege

Why yes, it is. All Reedies read the \textit{Confessions} for the last week of the freshman humanities course, and there's something of a running joke about whiny Augustine and his dislike of pears.

I can't help but sympathize with Nietzsche on this one.

Yeah, we read it during freshman Core (The History of What White Dudes Think - Plus a Greek Lesbian and a Black Lady) at Whitman. Then Nietzsche. I'm with Nietzsche too.

And leave it up to some confirmed bachelor saint who's a little too attached to his mom to decide babies are proof of original sin because they're just so damn needy and selfish and scream all the time to get what they want. Those evil babies!

And by \textit{Confessions}, I meant Confessions. Too much LaTeX.
