quiescence

So Ceremony was alright...sorta...I guess. The individual tracks played were of good quality, but the sets were all over the place. I was especially thrilled at the 10 or 11 downbeat songs in a row. It's always fun to see 3 people on the floor over the course of 35 minutes.

Tomorrow is the day of endless class, but I should be having dinner with...

Well at least I have good reason for not updating. Getting more than 1,000 pages of reading plus some paperwriting does not a free and easy weekend make. Coupled with that I was at the New Hampshire Highland Games for a good chunk of Saturday and Sunday. So little net time had I.
I still have books and articles to read, so that's all for...

Crypt at Manray was fun. I headed out with a few friends and ran into several more when I was there. It's very odd to already have a group of people to spend time with at clubs, yet I still only really know and hang out with one person from classes...

I bought the second Family Guy boxed dvd set today and watched half of...

Lots of clubbing madness...I mean schoolwork...Yeah, schoolwork.
Hundreds of pages of reading, all the time, endlessly. The sick thing is I love it (less so on Tuesdays, when I have class for 6 hours straight...). I'm not fully enamored of Hayden White. Not enamored at all, truth be told.
Or was that just Ironic emplotment?
You'll never know.

I got out to Ceremony last night,...

I'm not sure what it says about me, but last night when I read, "The late E. H. Carr, in his widely read, resolutely trivial What is History?..." (in Gay, Freud for Historians. Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1985.) I amost did a spit take with my drambuie. I think it says that I'm a grad student, spend too much time reading, and have already started...

I require more chocolate milk, And ice cream...yes, bring me...ice cream *steeples fingers*

So lets see, today I had class, did reading, fainted out of nowhere horribly bruising my ribs, twisting my shoulder out of socket and playing pinball with all the things in my bathroom, and went out clubbing.
Wow, pretty eventful.
Can I state how very much I love having low blood pressure? Pretty please? (If I were smart I'd simply find someone to shoot my...

So french class for 3 hours today. Medieval Christian Spirituality for only an hour. Tomorrow I get the lovely opportunity to have class for 6 hours straight from 12:30 until 6:30...the last 4 hours of which is theory/methodology proseminar. Yeah, that'll be thrilling, let me tell you.
Afterwards I'm going to happy hour with the rest of the history grad students, which I'm looking forward...

So I spent today doing virtually nothing until ozymandias came out. We grabbed dinner at a sweet Thai restuarant and then caught the Keyhole Cuties burlesque/variety performance at the Paradise. It was great (though we found out it's a shaky plan to order drinks with more than 2 ingredients in them) and it was a fun show. We laughed, we yelled, and hell, I even...

Academically speaking, I am proud of myself, whereas socially I am apalled.
I spent all day today studying. I did my work for Monday, my work for Tuesday...hell, I even did some work for my Friday class. This is great as I am typically a bit disorganized and very prone to procrastination. It was also rather a lot of work. How lucky I am to...

My hair is a very vivid blue curacao blue. I cannot deal with reading psychohistorical methodology anymore at the moment. I have abso-fucking-lutely NO ONE to do anything with and I'm a bit poor right now.
I can virtually assure you that I'll be rather drunk and online again by 11 or so tonight...
Partay.

Back!

My hearty thanks to Ozymandias for a very warm welcome to Boston. He's a cool guy that everyone should go say hi to.

Life at BU is good so far, and now much better that I can get back online.
