How evil are you?

Fri, 21 Feb 2003

I am 7% evil. I am an Angel. I rarely sin which makes my life pretty boring. But if there is a god he will likely reward me in the afterlife.

What U.S. city are you?

Fri, 21 Feb 2003

I think this one is really a tie for me; I got either of these cities by changing my answer to the last question of the quiz. Contrary to popular opinion, Seattle is not as rainy as legend says. It is in fact a charming green jewel with sparkling cerulean water and verdant hills. Its [...]

The Cure for all my woes

Mmmm, listening to Disintegration. Sometimes I just need a little Cure.

Fun with professors

Tue, 18 Feb 2003

My 530 professor, Jens-Erik Mai, is fun. He's fun partly because he has a sense of humor, but he's also funny because he's Danish. His pronunciation of metadata is cute (he says it like meet-a-data), but he has even more trouble pronouning the word specificity. Today we tried to make him (attempt to) say it [...]

The Rules

Mon, 17 Feb 2003

All you had to do was follow the Rules, and life would turn out all right. I followed the Rules, and life was all right. [...]

The joy of losing

Sun, 16 Feb 2003

Yesterday I went to an SCA games night. I was of half a mind not to go at all, but in the end I decided to go. So I grabbed my coat, hat, and book and rushed out the door. I got up to the light to cross the street to the bus stop and [...]

Odds and ends

Fri, 14 Feb 2003

The other day I checked out some books from Suzzallo Library, one of which happened to be in German. I started reading it on the bus ride home and instantly got a wave of sort-of-homesickness just from reading the words and constructions that only German has. A language consists of more than just vocabulary and [...]

Non-Anti-VDay

Fri, 14 Feb 2003

Yeah, it's the 14th of February, otherwise known as Valentine's Day. I've always had a kind of resistance towards Valentine's Day; I enjoyed it in elementary school, more or less, since everyone gave everyone else valentines, and no one was left out. Since then I've always felt like the odd one out of a soppy [...]
