harmful interference

    the weekend was nice, a break from the monotony which is the work week for many of us, and a chance to recharge and retreat into oneself. It is also nice to sleep in, waking up whenever I feel like it rather than at 07.45 or (God forbid) 06.00 (joking, sweetie). Part of me wanted the weekend to pass quickly, however, since my paycheck came Tuesday, and I really needed it — I have been broke for a little while now, asking my parents for money here and there, which they end up doling out in $100 increments every two weeks or so. It’s helpful, but not enough, and this paycheck (as well as financial aid) was something I needed badly. I don’t particularly like subsisting upon ramen or Easy Mac at lunch, although Lunchables are fucking delectable… (more…)

    the brownish glow of the night sky outside seeps into my room. i rather like these nights, although they depress me at times — not being able to see the clear, cold stars above, those piercing points of light we all love so much — but they also have a sort of charm to them. I end up wondering what lurks above and within those murky clouds; I know the stars are up there somewhere, but what is in the hazy layer before the pure, clear aether? High-flying birds who have lost their way and cannot hope to get home? Satellites, perhaps off-course as well? Or perhaps lost souls… who knows, on nights like these. In any case, I am not here to talk about this night, at least not yet… (more…)

    just wanted to say hi and everything. it’s been awhile since my last entry, and I apologise once again for that. life (and love) intrudes, but since I am chronicling that life, perhaps this is a good thing. work saps my memory, however, for although it is interesting, it is still work, and seems as a vacuous spot filling much of a typical day. this has a malefic effect on Mnemosyne. fear not, though, as I shall probably write tomorrow. me and Nicole are going to the beach to read (she is starting The Fellowship of the Ring, which I lent to her, and I am reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and chill out, which will be fun as hell, although I do not intend on getting as badly burnt as I did last time, if at all.
    in any case, as I said, I just wanted to say hi. I miss all of you, especially my dearest friends — you know who you are — and again, I apologise for being gone so much these days. you know how it is, and I hope you understand. I love you all. going to sleep soon. peace.

    it’s been awhile since I’ve written, and I know that, so this small preface is for you all. a lot has happened since I last wrote (excepting the small interludes to let you know I’m still alive, of course), so here is my attempt to tell as much of it as I can. i love you all, and I hope you know that. take it easy, and enjoy the read.

        These days my entries have been more fractured and less focused. Such is life. I do what I can to give a glimpse into my life, a snapshot if possible. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

        talk to me if you'd like to know something about me, or keep reading. I'm still a poor grad student and working on my PhD. I don't really know whether this will become a book anymore, but it's not wholly improbable.
