So I was walking across campus two days ago, and this dude walks up to me and is like "HEY you want a free novel?" I pull my ipod headphones out of my ear, sure that I heard him wrong. (I actually didn't hear him at all the first time he said it becuase I was busy listening to Death Metal) He hands me this book, "Wild Animus" by a dude named Rich ( Read more... )

 So basically german poetry is rad. Here's this poem ran across:

However, that didn't stop me from going on a walk in hopes that the several hours that had passed since sunset had cleared the sky a bit. They hadn't. However, I met a nice friendly cat, ( Read more... )

 YESSSSSS I finally finished my term paper for music history. It's about heavy metal. It ended up being about 30 pages long, plus a couple pages of notes and sources. Here's the link for any of you who want to read it/skim it/lol at it ( Read more... )

Rough draft was due Friday, but I hadn't gotten to writing a conclusion and asked the Prof for an extension, and he was down with it. So I figured I ( Read more... )

( you don't need to read this if you don't want, it's just an angry rant about contemporary poetry. )

Hey so this is the first poem I've written that Andrew's actually liked. In other news I'm sick with a fever and I have two bitchy midterms tomorrow, one in music history and one in assembly language, but I've been either sleeping or sitting up with a headache so I haven't really been able to study much. However I took advantage of the sick day to ( Read more... )
