For some reason, my favorite song from "The Wall" has always been "When the Tigers Broke Free," which wasn't included on the album (but was the b-side for the single "Bring the Boys Back Home"). The two lines that always struck me as particularly sharp were:

"They were all left behind/most of them dead, the rest of them dying"

and

"And that's how the High...

I should either be sleeping or writing. I'm fairly certain that I need to produce around sixty pages by Tuesday. Certainly doable (easy, even, if I had any type of work ethic), but I fear that come Tuesday morning I'll be under a crunch. Pressure is the best motivator, but it's also really fucking annoying.

And class was not cancelled tonight. Which means I need...

Your right about Cracker....However I thought
"Forever" was a awesome record.

No class tonight on account of the snow. A few weeks ago my other class was cancelled because of the other snowfall. On the one hand, there's the happiness at not having to deal with the other students, on the other, I actually enjoy school. Perhaps class will be held tomorrow.

Last week, though, we were dealing with a somewhat interesting topic. It's a graduate...

Back hurts. Shoveling snow is not pleasant. Belief that I may have arthritis in my fingers seems to be confirmed. Typing painful. That is all.

It's strange. In the past two days I've had three conversations about where I liked living the most (dorm, apartment, home) while doing my undergrad work. It took a little effort to convince them each time that there were advantages and disadvantages to each; no one place was better in every respect than the others. Considering that I'm growing more and more restless with where...

Finding out that tags don't seem to work in a journal. Hmm. Strange.

Yesterday morning I believed that I was going to be spending my V-day eating a George Forman grilled t-bone and watching <i>The Simpsons</i>, which seemed like a nice change of pace from my usual V-days, but still had that tinge of the lonliness that accompanies the change from longterm relationship to kinda-sorta-but-not-entirely single. Anyway, my parents' plans have unfortunately fallen through, so I'll probably end...

It seems all it takes are glasses and some really nice shots of the posterior to sway me. I am so fickle.

your fantasy, is also my fantasy.

there was an attempt to find the men who did the crime by blowing up the photos, turning them into "mugshots" and putting posters up on campuses around the U.S. saying that they were wanted for a crime. But people complained that it was "violating the rights" of the men involved, and the campaign stopped.

What kind of world do we live in that a woman can get violated like that and it's WRONG to publicly out the men that did it? frown

Something that always drives me crazy is when I finally figure out an old saying and when I try to explain it to people why this is the most fascinating thing ever I get a blank stare. I remember when I first figured out "smoking gun" and my brother called me an idiot after I spent nearly a half hour pontificating on how interesting I...

Am I the only one who finds that grad school really isn't all that different from undergrad which wasn't all that different from high school which...you get the point. School has always seemed easy and pointless. And everyone has gotten less attractive as I've moved up, myself included.

Gotta work on the profile pic.
