"I would blot out from my mind what happened next!
For the King ripped from her gown the golden brooches
That were her ornament, and raised them, and plunged them down
Straight into his own eyeballs, crying 'No more,
No more shall you look on the misery about me,
The horrors of my own doing! Too long you have known

BANNNNNNG DALLLERRRRRRRRRR

First of all, here's confirmation that I exist:

I have a feeling any regular updating will now come to an end. My life has transitioned from the continual boredom of summer to the quite startling feeling of always having something to do. I've felt like this before - food, sleep and other necessities become secondary to a mounting pile of responsibilities. School itself now matters; even though I ( Read more... )

So 17 days, 233 miles and some really cool shit, but it's nice to be able to take hot showers and eat non-dehydrated food again. I'll post pics of the trip on my facebook account when I get home, but right now I'm on a hotel computer in Arizona, so I should probably get off ( Read more... )

Technology blitz!

I got a new laptop sometime around my birthday. I don't really care about specs, but I know it's much, much faster than my old desktop, so that's good.

Got new headphones (Grado SR80's) with an Amazon gift card from graduation. I broke my good Sony's a little over a year ago, and I'd forgotten how nice good headphones are. And these ( Read more... )
