- I think it's almost time to give up the ghost and purchase a new laptop. The case is cracked in many places; the cd/dvd player stopped working a few weeks ago; it's horribly underpowered compared to more recent models; bad sectors are starting to pop up on the hard drive. It was purchased for me the summer before I went off to college. There's...

A breaking room would be delightful. But then I would have to clean it up and that would only vex me further...

I agree with the replacement symetry. It's supposed to die a day after you turn in your thesis.
Well, now I know what my next sex toy purchase is going to be: The Aneros.

still waiting for my codpiece david bowie robot sonnet
come on man
this will be magnificent
maybe you can put the aneros into the sonnet as well
or is this just bastardising your artistic talent?

You know your thesis writing isn't going well when your second chapter is due in two days and all you can think of is, "I think I really should've gone with that sonnet cycle about giant robots and gender fucks."
Actually, it's not going that badly, it's just that I can't seem to motivate myself to put forth any effort. The conference I had with...

But, on the plus side, it means that your advisor might LIKE the giant robots!

Man I hate that fuckin' movie. Reminds me of a play I was in back in High School... gosh what was it... um... Up the Down Staircase. Yeah. Horrible. But at least it was better than 12 Angry Men.
Maybe it's your own standards that are too high. I'm the same way- obviously. Never compromise. And trust your instincts.

My poetry professor just introduced me to the work of Thomas McGrath, and I think I may now have a new favorite poet. I'll have to wait until I get his books (alas, the local book stores have pitifully small poetry sections, forcing me to wait for orders to come in), but he might give Gregory Corso a run for his money. Indeed, the understated...

The only thing I cant wrap my head around in Fight Club, are the product placements. I always expect Brad Pitt to grab a doughnut and then launch into a speech about how Krispy Krmes are the official doughnut of the revolution.
I wish that one day, some one would call me punkin headedin a tribute.

Some days a quote from Ellison's short story "The Man Who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore" describes my perspective on life perfectly:
"I'm an unlimited person living in a limited world."
Whis is not so much a lament as much as a musing.

I'm definitely limited by gravity. And stupid rectangles of brightly coloured paper. I think your comment holds much more truth than the opposite.
prs2000:
i like that quote.
On Saturday I ran into two ex-lovers who were now, interestingly enough, dating each other. I suppose it's not so surprising that they hooked up, as I introduced them to each other a few years ago. It was cute standing there in the aisle of a book store, talking of old times; his arm lazily wrapped around her waist; her head resting on his shoulder;...

haha! that's a pretty cool and well-written story!
lovely images.
lovely images.
merry:
You're neat. 
I recall that one time the Violinist turned to me in exasperation asking, "Why do you have to make everything sexual?"
My response, of course, was, "I don't make it, everything already is."
So.
From the always delighftul Eros Blog, we get a delightful image of Bears In Love.

Well I'm not building an empire, see, I'm getting rid of empires once and for all. But I could certainly use the help, especially if you know some rocket science.
severus:
Mhm.... okay.
What have you been doing this weekend?

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again, one of my odder fantasies involved screwing Nancy Cartwright as she says in her Bart Simpson voice, "C'mon, man, come already."

Yep, that's odd. Nobody can deny that that's a little odd. I don't even know what nancy cartwright looks like, but it seems like that is completely not the point.
Sometimes I have a crush on lisa.
Skynnrd isn't bad, exactly. It's good songwriting and good arranging fairly well performed. But even if I did feel like it stood up to repeated listening, it's on the radio all the goddamn time and classic rock radio is about the only thing that nobody at work actually hates. I get PLENTY o' lynnrd skynnrd.

Ponderings after having watched The Princess Bride for the thirty-seventh time:
- The next time I stumble across the old "the book is always better" argument, I'll have to remember to add this film to the counter examples along with The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, and The Shawshank Redemption. I always forget how much better the film was than...

Where did the actor for Inigo go? He made the movie for me.
A sequel to the book is in the works, so who knows, maybe a sequel to the movie as well?
Personally, Ive got to go with book over movie, almost every time. Perhaps for no other reason than the method which they are delivered, laying in bed vs. sticky floors and crying babies. Though, there are a few exceptions.

Clearly the nadir of the weekend was realizing that the stupid drunken girl was correct about the atomic weight of oxygen. Why do I always get atomic weight and atomic number confused?

i think your reoccuring dream sequence was the creepiest of the bunch. you can imagine my surprise that it didn't actually involve sex.
