I'm sitting in the Arts building between classes, listening to Pat Boone's album "In a Metal Mood" where he covers heavy metal songs and thinking about Kenko.

I'm reading his book "Essays in Idleness" - I'm enjoying it very much. Quite different than Proust, who I'm buried in right now.

I had an exam this morning that I blew. This additional move is killing me academically.

I also fell down in the shower this morning, hurting my back, and pretty much destroying the shower curtain system. Hopefully it can be reassembled, I just ran out afterwards - had to make class (and I was still 10 mins late).

Had fun goofing off, having my ass burned in the library, and eating pie yesterday. ReBar makes some bloody fine pie - I recommend the Blueberry.

Here are some quotes from Kenko:

The pleasantest of all diversions is to sit alone under the lamp, a book spread out before you, and to make friends with people of a distant past you have never known. (13)

How delightful it would be to converse intimately with someone of the same mind, sharing with him the pleasures of uninhibited conversation on the amusing and foolish things of this world, but such friends are hard to find. If you must take care that your opinions do not differ in the least from those of the person with whom you are talking, you might just as well be alone. (12)
