I am so ridiculously pissed right now. I got a call about a week or two ago. It was from a bank who claimed that I owed $250 on my master card....I've never had a master card. They had the wrong person. Granted my name is damn common, there are 20 of us in my phone book alone and Kalamazoo isn't that big.

Last night...

You missed a good time, but it's no big deal. We haven't been having events often enough, and I think something needs to be done about that.
You need to solve your credit problems by changing your name to something less common, like Ron Jeremy.
Oh yeah, then you need to grow a mullet and a big mustache, so the repo men don't recognize you.

Yep, Political Science it is.

Reds, eh? They have kind of an interesting team--tough division, though.
I've Comerica isn't that terrible--not Camden Yards, but not new Comiskey either.

So, I got my graduation audit back yesterday. They said it would take 3-4 weeks, it took less than one....I'm astounded.

As it turns out I do not have to retake ENGL 210 (film interpretation) to fulfill my minor. I think I am going to anyway though just because there is no good reason for me to have that low of a grade in it...

Yup, High Fidelity is a book by Nick Hornby, though when you read it you realize how word-for-word from the book the movie is at times.

I'm jealous ... I wish I could go back to school. I actually did take a class in the fall of 2001, but with the job market being what it is ... and me being a consultant ... it's been difficult to find the money for school.

I'll submit a request for a baseball group and see if anything comes of it. Speaking of baseball, there's a great article on spring training in the current isue of SI.

Why? You ask why? You obviously haven't met many Czech or Welsh girls! On that note, I should probably add Polish to the list.
I also like the way they all sound, and some exposure to them would allow me to travel to all my dream places in style.

definately keep yoursef busy. i'm pretty anti-wb, is smallville good?

the statement was made by kant. i mentioned aquinas' idea of god being the first cause in the running chain of causes.

It sounds like you have a full plate with respect to languages. I wish I had time to learn more, in which case I'd probably expand my French and Spanish, then move on to German, Russian, Greek, Welsh, and maybe some Czech.
Well, I can dream, can't I?

I find myself smiling a lot lately. I have been in the process of getting my life back in order.

I started up studying Russian again. I have been brushing up on my Esperanto. I have been reading some Voltaire. I am getting all of my homework finished. I'm doing everything I need to do in order to graduate. I'm counting the days until I...

lucky.. i have way to many days to count till I am out of here.. due to the double major it is going to take me probably an extra semester or two to graduate.
osoesoteric:
Theres nothing wrong with that.. taking time off and what not is a valid thing to do.. right now I am slowly killing myself trying to take all these classes in 4-5 years.

My friend used to live in Kalamazoo... when he mentioned the place to me before I couldn't stop laughing that it actually existed... it just sounds so Dr.Seuss

Why is it that I am sometimes ridiculously productive and other times a complete waste of carbon?

I picked up my Russian book for the first time since about August. I am amazed at how much I remember. I really need to learn the rest now, eh.

I think I may brush up on my Esperanto. It's been a few years since I have used...

Yeah... I don't even know why I bothered seeing Daredevil. I knew it was going to suck. I had hope though... And being the geek that I am, I think I was obligated to see it.

Yeee-haw....I got two tests back today. I got a 92% on my Art History test. Not too terribly bad.

I got an 87% on my Geography test. Out-fucking-standing when you take into consideration the fact that the class average was an abysmal 68%!!!!!!!! I felt bad actually. It was out of 70 points and I got a 61. When we were in lab we were...

Puny Human - Revenge is Easy
The Maybellines - Chatfield Holiday
