Class was interesting, as my Thursday class has a tendency to be. It's a little late, and I'm a little too hazy to appropriate discuss the course content, however in a nutshell it concerns the force with which monotheistic practice and thought have permeated and informed the major institutions of Western Civilization. Notions of History, Progress, ( Read more... ) -

I honestly think I would go mad without my board game group. It really has become my number one hobby over the past two years.
Sorry. Felt like sharing that for some reason. -

For no greater reason than to document to myself why I am a sucker for Library Book Sales, a list of the stuff I was too weak to resist. I am fully aware that I had already left, gone home, documented my experiences and slept it off. I went back.
I am not a strong man when cheap, cheap books are the issue.

Notes of a Literary Nature
Got the word that the Toronto Reference Library Book Sale was underway, thanks to Wayne, so I checked it out after class today. Only had a short window of time before it closed, but managed to snag:

Stuff I Have Been Up To

So, saw Watchmen last Friday. It was rather good, considering what I had anticipated.

One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty (though obviously more in-depth things are encouraged!).
Comments are going to be screened so none of you will know if I'm the über-popular kind who gets over 100 comments on this or a total loser who doesn't get ( Read more... ) -
A Somewhat Boring Retelling of Things Mainly Literary in Nature
Exam Break this week. Wee.
Have to finish a take-home exam for this evening and then prepare for a sit-down exam on Roman history Saturday morning. It expect it to be less than pleasant. If I can just roll my way through these next three months, I will be a happy man.
