Is this what you wanted, Brendan?

Having agreed with certain others that the word "research" is something of a misnomer, I can nonetheless say that this period of sub par academic work is....endless. Fortunately, I decided to be really wild today, and instead of going to the library right away...I went to health services! UNfortunately, however, I didn't feel that it would be ( Read more... )

Today a large and obviously sacred stone gave birth to Kathryn. I helped! Unfortunately, when I spanked her she didn't cry...she laughed! I'm worried about her life's course/her lungs as a result. Next Wednesday, when it gives birth to me, things should be different. Otherwise, I want a house with a very tall roof in which to cook my dinners and ( Read more... )

I want to say that I understand what it is to be a sixteenth century peasant who knows in his heart that God (in the form of air and water and earth) emerged from some manner of cosmic cheese, aided by the angels (who themselves emerged from the cheese like worms).

A series of sad and grumpy moments peppered with fears of seeing that grad student who looks and dresses EXACTLY like Mrs. Schneller have brought me here.

Indeed, at the moment I find all things not having to do with sad letters from grandpa to grandma utterly tiresome and not at all worth a second thought. I do, ( Read more... )

there are two people who like to stand on the roof across the street from me every night at this time, smoking and kissing and maybe even talking. I think, perhaps, that they see me here, and we three look forward to this time of night.

I'm wearing a shiny kimono right now and being some manner of southern belle/old lady/madam. I was doing this earlier when I was not alone, and also now when I am. This is no foolish consistency, however ( Read more... )

Also, is it a quagmire or isn't it? And does anyone remember that character from Eureeka's castle? Hopefully you do, because that means that when WE TAKE OVER, we'll be forced to shake up the terminology a little bit, for fear of confusing an unfortunate military situation with a purple puppet. Am I right or what ( Read more... )
