While shelf reading today, I came across an interesting little book called “Father Gander Nursery Rhymes,” which advertised itself as being “Mother Goose Rewritten: Nonsexist, nonviolent, nonracist nursery rhymes for children of all ages,” or something to that extent. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for promoting tolerance and equality and whatnot, [...]

Moral question, inspired by my dreams last night:
If one had the ability to literally turn back time for the world, and erase all events that happened after a certain point in time, would it still be wrong for this person to torture, hurt or even kill other people at random, so long as they undid [...]
About those clouds that I mentioned earlier…

After Ryan and I got back from vacation, I went to visit Ian, and he made it fairly clear that he was interested in rekindling our relationship, once my “term of contract” with Ryan expires in May – apparently things with his elfchick aren't likely to last past the end the the semester. I'm [...]
For future reference…

My phone number at the dorms is (907) 790-9869. Until I get internet access sorted out, that's probably the best way to reach me.
Give me a call sometime, dammit. It's too quiet there.
Stupid internet, stupid homework…

Well, I've finally got everything moved over to the dorm/apartment and (mostly) unpacked. Unfortunately, the wireless is extremely spotty (the only place I've been able to get coverage is in the middle of the hall, and even that won't connect to the Internet), and there doesn't appear to be a jack for a CAT-5 [...]
Go me!

This evening, I managed for the first time to eat a McDonald's fish sandwich and fries while driving home.
I am officially an American now.

Philly Steak & Cheese Croissant Pockets. I think I may have a new favorite quick-food.
Immunization records have apparently not gotten here, so after Brit Lit I'm going to go down to the housing office and probably end up calling UAF Health & Counseling again to see what's going on.
The good news is [...]
Better days…

Am feeling a bit better than I did yesterday – a warm bath and warm bed helped immensely. I've also (hopefully) got at least one thing on the list finished – I called UAF and asked them to fax my immunization records to the UAS housing office. Assuming there aren't any problems en [...]
And let the stress begin….

First day of classes after a nice, leisurely Spring Break. My to-do list for the next couple of months:
–Pack all my stuff and move it out of Ryan's grandparents' house (due in 1 week)
–Find someone who has my immunization records and have them mailed to me so that I can move into campus housing [...]
The California experience, in verse…

A culture whose values that I once abhorred
Holds me enthralled with its glitter
I know there is blackness, corruption beneath, but
The gildedness shines in my eyes.
My life, that was once plenty pleasant enough
Now seems all too small to contain me
But what am I now if I am not myself?
I have changed, but is it for the [...]
