He had a haggard face, straight short hair, stocky build, not tall but he loomed a little over his pint of dark beer. He had usurped our usual table for a few weeks now, every Thursday night in the same dark wool sweater and quiet air. He never had company ( Read more... ) -

One day she was pottering about on the west shore when a great roar enveloped her senses, low and chest rattling, then cold and harsh through her lungs, then a piercing ethereal scream that whispered away. She opened her eyes. She was kneeling. She looked up ( Read more... ) -

Cold Weather Blues
I had planned
A utopian reality
Sunny weather
Where air warmed adiabatically ruffles the heather
But errors haunt me all the time...
My central processor is bare, my tears vaporizing in the air
Windy weather
Every time my heart takes my breath outside of here and squeezes it together

She took a step onto the roughly regular surface, and watched in veiled curiosity as her footstep rippled outward underneath the surface.
"Alright," she said ( Read more... ) -
Third Year: part the first, wherein there is creative writing on the theme of statistical mechanics
So our statistical mechanics professor is one of those of the philosophy that physics should be communicated in clear, plain language with as little math as actually needed. (He is also a math wizard or something, but that's beside the point.) Ten percent of our grade comes from weekly "previews" in which we do a little forward reading and ( Read more... ) -

Wallpaper: Giles&Buffy - Invigilamini
Today I learnt that I can tutor grade 12 physics. Unfortunately I must also concede that I can no longer could never force myself to write. Boooo. So, have a slightly swiftly hacked together wallpaper. I do like how the bottom turned out... (The chunk of text is from horrid stubborn non directional ficcery.)
