When the plane arose just past the dense ceiling over Jacksonville at 7 PM, the sun was right on the horizon of clouds. Bright colors teemed over their surfaces, and I realized that this is what sunset may be like on Jupiter ( Read more... )

It has been so long since I last posted, I'm intimidated to begin writing online again. So much has happened; it seems difficult to condense it in any meaningful way. I might have to start with small posts. To try and pass some excuses, the rest of the college quarter was extremely busy, my visit home jam packed trying to fit in everyone, and now I ( Read more... )

Well, Homer's Iliad was raped, but a pretty fun movie was made nonetheless ( Read more... )

So, Scav hunt ended today. For those unfamiliar, it happens each spring in Chicago, where much of the campus is engaged in teams to gather as many items on the official list as possible. For some examples of items/points ( Read more... )

Juanita's sister died this week. She had a form of cancer, but that isn't exactly how she died. Juanita went to visit her and found over half of her leg to be completely black.

So work and rehearsals are still overwhelming my life, and I don't have the time or energy to say what I want to right now. Also, I'm a bit tired of the inherently self-absorbed nature of my livejournal and would like to post the happenings of a young, smart, sweet guy on my floor. Ladies and gentlemen, the life of Geoff brought to you by Jakob ( Read more... )

Though nothing has been written in quite some time and little will be written right now as a result of lacking time in this very busy first week of the quarter, I wanted to put something down if for nothing else than to organize my thoughts for my next, much more comprehensive update. Spring Break was filled with exciting diversions, beautiful ( Read more... )

I desperately want to go home and sleep in my own bed, hug angel, fight with my brother, play with isis, discuss 'menfolk' with Juanita, tell my dad I love him. But I'm going to California soon. I miss Lauren, but right now I'm dying for familiarity.

Until today for my calculus final I had not left my dorm building for around 60 hours. Partly ( Read more... )
