“[...] you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want.’ Gay marriage, whatever. But [they aren't] right ( Read more... )

So, I've had 3 midterms so far. Two of them went well-I got the high score in one, and was five points off a perfect score on the other, and only because I copied something wrong from my equation sheet.

I've got a new background for my desktop, and I think it's safe to say this one is going to last me a long time. It's from The Parking Lot is Full, a wonderfully disturbing defunct webcomic whose archives may be found here. Most of the comics are more humor-oriented than this particular one. Here's the comic:

I've started a blog. It's going to be about philosophy, politics, religion, science, society, etc. I decided I wanted to put my thoughts on matters such as those in a place where I could share them without having the rest of my personal thoughts shared. A blog with a theme, as it were. Anyway, the link: an-excess-of-reason.blogspot.com. And, ( Read more... )
