Removal from the Summer 2006 Convocation List (or I am an Advanced Degree Whore )
Dear Ms. Be'elzebe,
Because you did not meet the required convocation deadlines this quarter, on the request of your preceptor, I have removed your name from the convocation list. Please note that you will be assessed a $50 cancellation fee early next quarter by the Office of the Bursar.
Denver/Boulder was awesome, possibly as awesome as watching this on infinite repeat.
Chicago is currently the anti-awesome. And I realize it's all self-created. You know, the problem is in your head and so is the solution. (alternatively: "QuitYerBitchinAndFuckingFinishThatPaper!!!). Nonetheless, I still feel a little rejected.
For getting impailed by a large gauge common nail, my foot feels surprisingly well after a couple days. Though I think it's brought an end to my Boston Marathon aspirations. I'll never win now.
thanks for the sympathies though
YOU were the beard ?!? !!!
I knew that beard had a suspiciously feminine sway to it.
Hold on wasn't there a person named Beard ? Frank Beard, The drummer. Oddly the only Top without a beard. She was more of an A-cup though. Did you get an . . . adjustment ?
Missed the lesbian carpool and all of its crazy trucker-flashing antics. Am flying to Denver tonight for another wedding. Need to finish outstanding paper to collect my MA [Top Priority]. Will also need to get a job and find a new place to live [also Top Priority]. Still scheming on how to get to Beijing/become fluent in Mandarin [medium priority]. Will be taking a weeklong...

You know I wanted to say something about Chicago, and stuff about school, and more stuff, but, all I can think of are lesbian car pools, hot girls, and flashing antics!
Yeah, I like the div school. I'm in theology, doing American historical theology, specifically the theological defense of slavery in the antebellum south. (Cheery, right?) Congrats on being almost done. What'd you do your thesis on? Are you sticking around in Chicago? SignalNoise is a UofC'er too; we should go out and grab some beers once your return from east coast debauchery. Let me know & we can plan ... Oh, and the Edith Grossman translation of Quixote is really excellent. A great read; you should definitely give it a go.
So apparently if you sit, on your ass, in front of a computer for +15 hours straight (give or two a few pee/nap/beer breaks) in +95 degree heat/%90 humidity, sweat begins to collect in your lovely ass folds. you know, that sweet spot where ass connects to back of thigh? those folds. Well, if enough sweat hangs out... Read More
O dear lady,do let me weave for you a great tale of mischief and smell... A great tale forged in the heat of the jungle, from a land of blood won freedom. I will gladly enshroud you within such a tale.. but alas not in this moment.. soon, so so soon... it will be yours...
Yea I'm being a dork.... god, i want to go to sleep, but the friend i'm staying with here in SF, passed out and is snoring on the futon I'm supposed to sleep on.. fuk me
Eleven Things I Learned Out West
1. Even if you bring your thesis and a bunch of books, you will not get any school work done.
2. Turkeys are terrifying.
3. Glow sticks, tape, and a croquet set makes for an awesome addition to the rave sports.
4. PDX has free wireless in the gaddamn airport.
5. Resposado makes me ornery.
6. Tequila induced mayhem... Read More
Exactly. That's how I felt, soft and wiggley. With fur around the outside edges no less...
Never again always only means beer, or maybe going with little sleep(?) which never seems to stick for long anyway. Bourbon however has always treated me right for some reason. As long as I stick with it all night and don't try to top it off with Jaggermeister or something anyway...
Yay for never learning what's for my own good!
That would get downright boring.
Oregon is one place I'd love to go see for myself. It looks very pretty. Closest I've ever gotten is Vancouver which is a pretty damn cool place in it's own right.
The animal I am most afraid of on the farm is Jake, the turkey (he used to have a brother named Elwood, but he went missing. fucking awesome.) When he gets pissed off his waddle turns white and he'll either flap you or talon you to death. The goats with the tiny ears and the devil eyes are a close second, but... Read More
