I said that I'd try to be good, and so I'm back making a post on the blog.

I'm set to do a poetry reading with a friend on Thursday. I'm trying to get more stuff written on it; I have an idea percolating about one explaining why I call myself the English Department Warlord. The joke is already not funny; explaining it can't hurt....

The English Department had a faculty mixer yesterday, as is traditional. As is also traditional, the faculty mixer was followed by a graduate student party. As continued to be traditional, the party threatened to degenerate into full-bore drunken debauchery; people were stripping down to their skivvies and jumping into a pool.

My girlfriend and I left the party at a quarter after eleven, drawing comments...

It's hard to believe that I've only been back in town for a week; the previous seven days have melted together into one amorphous miasma.

It's harder to believe that I've not been at grad school for any longer than I have been; I hit a year here sometime in the next week or so. Hard to believe.

I've managed to make quite a few...

Joy!

I am at the office and glad beacuse I can actually use the laptop to get online while there. WE HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET IN THE OFFICE! YAY!

I am such a nerd...

Okay, I'm not so damned tired this time as I was yesterday when I posted; I had driven in from home, which meant seven solid hours of me sitting on my ass in the car, feeling my left leg go numb and my back start to cramp. Now I'm in front of my computer in the little cave I call my dorm room, typing away...

Okay, okay, I missed last week. So very, very sorry.

I was at home.

No excuse, but there it is.

I'm back, by the way. Time again to lord over wars.

I look forward to it.

Not much else to say, actually. I'll write again later.

Well, if nothing else, I'm being exceptionally good today; I'm making another blog entry, just as I have said I would do. Now the only problem is finding something to say.

Oh, right. I'm watching Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel right now. They're revisiting myths. One of those myhs is the Confederate rocket, in which they in the re-hashing employed salami as fuel. It seems...

I just looked over the sporadic blogging I have done on this website. What the hell is wrong with me that I post here so irregularly? Sunday mornings are blocked out in my schedule specifically to do blogging.

It's true. I promise. Today's schedule looks like this:

0900 Breakfast
1000 Blogging
1200 Review plans for world conquest, lunch
1230 Review the troops
1400 Attend execution...

Dirty Jobs is on, and the host just made the comment that bee society echoes ancient Rome, with much sex, lots of eating, political assassinations, and vomiting. I find that I like the show more every time I watch it; it's just that damned interesting.

I watch shows on Discovery and the History Channel pretty regularly, actually. Aside from the fact that I learn stuff...

I said I wanted to post in this blog more regularly...and then promptly failed to do so. Seems about in line with my normal behavior.

Then again, I've slept since then.

I've really not got much left to say today; I run a couple of other blogs and got most of it out there.

Oddly, though, my different blogs get different voices of mine. Today,...
