hopefully wiser

    another year’s gone by since this time last year, obviously, and I’m now 24. well, 24 and almost a day, if you want to be strictly accurate. it doesn’t feel any different, though; I had just gotten used to being 23 by this time, and here they have to change it up on me. life passes by too fast, but it’s trite to say so. I’m glad to be alive, glad for my family and friends and my loved ones in general, especially Nicole. I wouldn’t be here without you all. (more…)

 

artifacts of noise

“Something is wrong with the minutes in the day. 3 minutes can go by in 30 seconds. If you pay attention to the minutes they go by slower. Ill wake up and the time will tell one thing at first and the time will change all of a sudden.
The minutes are a problem.”

- Claude, via text, 21 April 2008

    when I got that text out of the blue from Claude, I definitely cracked up, because it was so Karl-esque, so off-the-wall, that I could almost hear Gervais laughing his ass off and yelling “You’re an idiot! PLAY A RECORD!” as I processed the insanity of what Claude had said. I had to save that for posterity, because it was too perfect not to. (more…)

 

death and rebirth of another week

    so it begins again, I’m on the cusp. it’s been a long weekend of nothingness; I measured time by the slowly ticking hours and mealtimes. It was nice having some solitude, though, although I did get lonely at times. I missed Nicole this weekend, and I know she missed me too although she was busy with her family and such. I was so happy to have her back tonight; she came back around 19.30 or so. (more…)

 

fool’s triumph

    it’s been a weird day today — I didn’t leave the house, nor did I really get anything done. it’s been nice and relaxing, and I’m looking forward to sleep soon here, but as I look back at the day I sort of regret my inertia. it’s been a breezy sort of week, actually, especially since I didn’t have class Wednesday. I’m still waiting to hear back from some schools as well, which is discouraging in some ways, but oh well, at least the jury’s still out. (more…)

 

mental static

    it’s been a rather long week, I must say, and this is the light shining in the darkness, reaching the ocean floor, and all of that. it’s not all that dramatic, really, but it has been a long week. on Tuesday, I ended up staying up all night, stupid as it was, in order to prepare a two-hour presentation for Wednesday’s seminar on Seneca’s Consolatio ad Helviam (“Consolation for Helvia”). It was rather interesting and I liked doing it, but I burned myself out staying up so late, and worked on it up until class time. (more…)

 

murmura dormituri

    it sounds so much better in Latin. things almost always do, although some would disagree, hehe. on the edge of sleep, my mind is almost blank. well, my mind is never really blank, but it is rather close to it at the moment. low-power mode, hibernation, suspend mode… (which, speaking of that, I truly hope is fixed in 8.04 in a few weeks now, grr!). I’ve not done a whole lot this weekend, and at the same time I should have been doing a whole lot. Nicole (and Krista too) would say that’s due to my nine-ness, and I suppose I could partially exculpate myself with that, but it won’t cut it forever. (more…)

  • about me

        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.

    feel free to drop me comments on here, or even an email at:
