So my God damned car wouldn't start this morning. That was fun. I had to have my aunt pick me up and bring me to my mother's work, where I picked up my mother's car, and then went to my work. Then I left early, picked up my mom, and came home.
Now I have to have it towed to the shop. I suspect it's...

xoxThis day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and...

that would be SO FRUSTRATING- not getting your guitar til january. just pretend that its always been 01/25/06- you'll feel better 
Another Monday. Wee!
Actually, it's only redeeming factor is the arrival of some books I ordered, including William Gibson's Burning Chrome, which contains a bunch of short stories - like "Johnny Mnemonic." The first appearance of Molly Millions. I'm quite looking forward to reading it.
So I think I'm going to go off and do that now, as I don't have much else to...

Oh, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that they all considered themselves to be Greeks. Where this subject is concerned, however, it's all in the details.
1) Magna Graecia was a term coined by Romans long after the 8th century B.C.E. colonizing movement of Euboan and Doric settlers who crossed over to S. Italy and Sicily.
2) There was no Magna Graecia by the time the events we're discussing occured (late 3rd century B.C.E.).
3) While Greeks throughout the world were connected by cultural bonds, there was no Greek "nation" for more than a few years in those ancient times.
Syracuse was a separate political entity from the city-states and kingdoms of Greece (the homeland), or mainland Italy. The concept of Greece (Hellas) as a nation, is raised only a few times in antiquity by orators and poets--generally whilst trying to muster up a sense of unity in the face (or wake) of invasion (see Pausanias after the Battle of Plataea, for example).
A Syracusan of his era would have been deeply suspicious of your subvertive tone. You'd sound like a pamphleteer trying to stir up public support for an invading Epirote on an imperialistic adventure, or something like that.

Wow - I never imagined I'd have such difficulty finding paper on which to print my book. I plan for the finished product to be quarto sized - about the size of a letter sheet folded in half.
I planned this size, because my inkjet will print a letter size sheet easily. I don't have a large format printer.
Unfortunately there's no such thing as...

Yes, authentic, actual lederhosen.
And they weren't extravagently priced. They were completely reasonable. And they fit just right, and looked cute. I couldn't just leave them behind.

Oh, and the drunken orgies, I think it's not the sort of thing you plan, but rather the sort of thing that happens when you get too many members of SG in the same room...
I keep falling in love with the same girl;
Though she wears a new face each time,
It's always the same person on the inside.
Every time she claims she'll need meed forever,
But she eventually gets bored
And leaves me alone, more fucked up than before.
She never even realizes what she's done.
Or maybe she doesn't care.
I hate her for it.
Oh...

Yeah, I'll be fine. If we have to evacuate, we will. But I'll be fine. When I get back, I'll have to start spending my weekends back in the cities, so wes can drink it up.
The silence of a falling star
Lights up the purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Fuck you, Hank. You bastard.
I've decided that after I sell my first book I'm going to become a recluse. More so than I already am, I mean. This is actually a desire I've had for some time, but it got...

Hey, I was a math major, I know what LaTex is. I would have written my thesis in it, if I had managed to write it. So, I understand.

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry,
Lord, what youre doing to me?'
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just cant get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody

Eh, I'm starting to figure it out more. It just sucks. I have to restart it a bunch of times sometimes before it finds my "device". It's just shiesty.

Auto-formatting is the biggest bullshit in the world, seriously.

Yes, I know I'm being childish with the whole "I'm not speaking to you until you speak to me" thing. And it may backfire, because she'll end up never speaking to me.
Oh well; one thing I can say is that she is no longer intruding on my every thought. The thoughts are still there, but not as much....

It looks empty because it has only been open for a week and a lot of people haven't heard of it yet... Give it some time, it'll be the hottest spot in the Detroit Metro... plus I think that was taken at about 1:30 am...judging by the fact that I'm dancing..
aaardvark:
Blah, its alright over here. I've got a cold at the moment, and no money, but tons of friends and cheap stuff to do, so I guess I can't complain too much. Plus, I'm going to florida on Wednesday, so I've got that to look foreward too. It was gorgeous yesterday, I wish every day could be like that.

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely.
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue.
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted,
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new.
So I lied about my guitar. They didn't update the in-stock date to October 13th. They updated it to October 25th! Bastards. If I'm lucky it...

One of my friends walked around all night once. She got back at 10 am in time to go have lunch with her parents.

Lately, when I wake up, I feel as though I haven't been to sleep at all. This can't be good.
What is good, however, is that today is Columbus Day! Since I work for a financial institution, this means that I have the day off! Yay for bank holidays!
Of course, I don't get paid for this day off....
