So the pope died. I expect everyone knows this by now. Today they elected a new pope; kind of funny from my perspective because they elected Father Ratzinger, the German Master of Orthodoxy and Dean of the College of Cardinals. It's not really actually all that funny, but speaking in terms of stereotypes it amuses me that they elected a _German_ ( Read more... )

Fun, isn't it... Registration, I mean. Sailed into the system at 7:00, had one hitch where I didn't type my pin number correctly, but after I realized the error I was in and registering and out by 7:03. I managed to get all the classes I wanted (sort of) so next semester my schedule will consist of ( Read more... )

Let 'em. Let 'em enjoy all the laughter they can get. One day soon I think it'll be me laughing. I have just slogged my way through one of the suckiest tests I think I've ever seen. Y'know, I thought that they'd had enough and were capping it off last sunday when I found out my dog had died. Nope. Apparently that was just the climax of the first ( Read more... )

Ah well. Gather round whilst I finish off my tale. Though evil has spread o'er the land, a band of heroes doth ride forth even now, brandishing many arcane weapons to do battle with viruses and spyware diverse and malicious. I do not ride among them for now; their ranks overflow with heroes already, so I shall continue to wander the world, doing ( Read more... )

Verily, it was upon that grey day that, I did venture forth from my domain and go upon a quest. My quest was no easy task. Missive upon missive had been sent forth to all the land in search of a valiant few, those who would become known as... The RCC's. Heroes of great power and ability were required to go forth and do battle with the forces of ( Read more... )

That's right, it's odd. We're on a mountaintop, right? In a landlocked state. We're not by any particularly large bodies of fresh water, either. SO WHY DO WE KEEP HAVING SEAFOOD? What's up with that? Is this some sort of "Manna from heaven" given to us by the church? It's so wierd.

And so they do. Back in school, this post is to tell those of you who've been expecting more messages that I'm only using this for when I can't speak to you in person, so don't expect much.

Blasted deities of inconvenience and frustration! All I wanted to do was enjoy a little bit of gaming, but apparently that's just too much to ask for around these parts. I'm so looking forward to getting back to Sewanee where I'm not stuck behind a 56k Dialup connection. It's very, very frustrating. Sure, enjoying a bit of a game's not everything. ( Read more... )

We have Snow ( Read more... )

That's right, I've been wading through history texts on the PHD level. Piled Higher and Deeper. Gah. I hate postmodernists. It takes them ten words to say what they mean, when really they could get away with three. Anyways... What else? Oh yes, archery practice today. I gave myself a break around lunchtime (I'd been going since 8ish) to go down to ( Read more... )
