Why do I love military history? Let me count the ways. I'm reading John Keegan's A History of Warfare, where he begins by proposing the question: What is war? Is it the continuation of political policy using large scale violence as a last resort? or is it something more insidious and cultural? Also reading Daniele Bolelli's On the Warrior's Path: Philosophy, Fighting and Martial Arts...

iamtony:
signs you wont be getting into college:

On visit to campus, you accidentally kill the school mascot

Instead of a cap and gown, your high school gives you a McDonald's uniform

After four years of Spanish, you still can't place an order at Taco Bell

You took an S.A.T. preparation course that was advertised by Sally Struthers

You tell admissions officer you're looking forward to "some good, honest book-larnin'"

Instead of application, you send in a Where's Waldo? book with all the Waldos circled

You insist interviewer call you by your nickname: "Glue-Sniffin' viv"

Last time you picked up a book, Michael Jackson was black


biggrin a little college humour to brighten up your day biggrin

Very interesting, the idea of like as a dream. Sometimes it sure does seem that way. One of my odd obsessions has been the search for "authenticity" -- when are we authentic? In prayer, on crack, in the throes? Which of these states help us come closest to our form. Are psychotropic meds a cop-out because they render you less authentic? I reckon it follows that none of this would feel authentic if nothing really is authentic until we wake up. Glad to see you back in these parts Viv. Hope life is treating you goodly in the outer burroughs

I've got Neutral Milk Hotel on repeat. I think this is the 6th time it's played. I'm either having a breakdown or a breakthrough.
chrislikewhoa:
I drink neutral milk.

You should feel special.
I RARELY comment in journals.

You should come out to an SGNY party. If you've been to one already, and I met you and don't remember you, I apologize. I usually get pretty tore at those parties.

Anyway......hi.

miao!!

I spent the day watching college football and rereading Kushiel's Dart. I love that book in an unhealthy way. If only I had a Cassiline to protect and serve me in my service to Naamah. A girl can dream, no?

I probably should have done something memorable to mark the new year, but i'm still moving slowly, recovering from last night's festivities. I've also been...
