Just finished my last essay for the term. Managed to grossly over reseach it beforehand- the hardest part was actually cutting it down to fit in the 1800 word limit (came in at 1799). Also, The Good German is a badass film. I would turn for George Clooney in a heartbeat. But here goes:

Allright, well I started that last entry two weeks ago, and it finished the story of a trip I took two months ago, so as  you can guess, a whole lot has happened in the interim. Indeed, there are many more incredible tales of high adventure, brimming with humor, peril, love, triumph, and  the like. And I  intend to transcribe those tales as soon as ( Read more... )

Waiting for the shower, and trying to avoid work on this last essay. Stupid Algeria and their stupid fight for independence from the stupid French, don't they realize that the sun is out in Wellington for the first time in a week?! Some of us have barbecues to attend.
Also, HOLY SHIT ROCKIES 2-0 AGAINST THE PHILLIES!!!! WHAT THE FUCK???!!!! WHY AM I ( Read more... )

And by working furiously I mean doing ( Read more... )

Just droppin in to let you know that I have returned from my two week sojourn across the south island safely, no broken bones, giardia, possum maiming, stab wounds or raping were suffered throughout my travels. In fact, the last two weeks have been two of the absolute best of my life, one of those cliche "college student goes abroad and ( Read more... )

Well howdy folks. Recovering today from a magical night of getting absolutely "dieseled," courtesy of this charming local chap who goes by the name of Boz. Boz knows a lot of people who work at the bars downtown, which trasnslated last night into me drinking a lot of free beers, and waking up today to find strangers' names in my phone, money in my ( Read more... )

Typing this entry is oging to be difficult, as I still can't feel my fingers after rugby. You see, I've been playing with this team from another dorm, since my hall doesn't have a team in the intramural tourney. However, apparently there have been teams getting in trouble for having members from other houses, so I was not put on the field today, ( Read more... )

I can barely believe that this exchange occurred ( Read more... )
