its ok, I wasn't either.
Infact I managed to ignore my phone ringing and telling me that I had missed calls every 5 minutes. For like 10 hours.
meh.
FIE!
my new favorite word. Thank you.
Getting kicked out of the library! You ruffian! Feel free to use the NCSU library..they never check (unless you're checking out). However, it also sucks, and never has any of the books you need...so that might be a problem too.

I would make a horrible hermit. I used to think otherwise. But this weekend shows I would spend all my time travelling down the mountain in order to talk to a barrista. I'll save barristas the world over from having to deal with that, and not become a hermit. Not even a herman's hermit. That poor child of Mrs. Brown.
This is not a nose-to-the-text kinda thing I'm writing. In contingency (vs. "fact"), it is an affirmation of my uncertainty of what a nose is, nevermind to whom or what it belongs, and it is done with a (non)knowledge of where I am putting that uncertain organ, but with a suspicion that I am always already smelling "myself."
"We must meet hate with love. We must meet physical force with soul force. There is still a voice crying out through the vista of time, saying: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. Then, and only then, can you matriculate into the university of eternal life. That same voice cries out in terms lifted to cosmic... Read More
Yesterday, we had the storm that caused all the chaos in SoCal. and beyond. Holy Tsunami! It can be terrible and all, but when nature aims to impress, it has no competiter.
I wonder if all those donations made it in before the year ended...you know for tax reasons. But I'm not feeling cynical tonight, so I'll stop all that.
HA! We actually got an e-mail from our corporate office. Saying that you can use your donation as a tax write off this year.
Sort of sad that people would use something that changed the oceanic shelf in the Indian Ocean, and changed the face of coast lines down there for a tax write off.
I just discovered another beautiful use for the hot shot water heater. Until now it had made my cups of tea with aplomb, yet humbly did it sit next to the coffee makers - the stars of the kitchen counter. But no more! No more, I tell you!
Today, the hot shot became a hot saki maker!
I hope everyone has a safe and great new year's eve. I hope many join me in burning '04 in effigy, and please poor some out on the first, 4th, or 6th, whichever is your twelfth night, and hope for a better harvest next year.
I hope everyone has a nice holiday. I keep getting these pops of goodwill and general nostalgic blissfullness. I think it's because I keep singing carols to myself. Also, having (sorta) a BA in religous studies, any hybrid holiday is exciting and interesting to me. So burn your yule, slaughter the children, and drink some nog for me, as you celebrate the coming death of... Read More
Last night, I went to see Jim Watson of the Red Clay Ramblers. He's been doing a christmas show every year for 20 years and this was the first time I'd ever heard about it. He passes out sheet music for everyone in the bar. It was billed as THE caroling event of the year. It was so much fun to sing along with him... Read More
