Someone ran over my old cell phone, so I have a new one. If I had your phone number before, and/or you think I should have it, e-mail it to me at daevric[at]gmail[dot]com . Thanks.


...fuck.

Finals at Clarkson are scheduled for three hours apiece. Most of the time, they don't take that long, especially for me.

I just took an exam that started at 11:45am. The prof kicked us all out at 3:10pm. No one had left. Ow.

Anyway, I'm between exams 2 and 3 of the day at the moment. I have a several hour break before the next...

I love this class. I just finished writing the 3rd and last paper for the course.

Paper #1: I spent the whole paper bashing organized religion. Well, technically that just sorta happened as a side bonus. The point of the paper was to show that humanity's inflated sense of self-importance has infiltrated its way into our both our art and sciences. That, and showing that...

So, Alexander... eh, 'twas okay. From what I can discern, as long as you don't listen to the Bible-thumping retards who deny that bisexuality ran amuck in ancient Greek culture, it was pretty historically accurate. The only major Hollywood-induced variant that I'm aware of was the final battle with the Indians and how that turned out--but then again, that was already 2 and a...

There's a wonderful little thing at one of the bars in town called "flip night." THe general premise is the following: you order anything that's on tap, the bartender flips a quarter and you call it in the air...if you win, you get the beer free, if you lose, you pay regular price. Tonight, we paid for a grand total of four out of twenty-seven...

Every once in a while, when I start to get full of myself, all I have to do is go play certain DDR songs.

Needless to say, I was just put in my place hardcore. I need to practice more.

I just had a very interesting moment, and I had to sit down and share it quickly before I run off to do something else and forget the words, if not the ideas.

I just saw myself and life in a rather shocking context. I saw myself young (as in, within a couple years of now), confident, determined, and in love with someone as physically...

Scientia potentia est.

If knowledge is power, then teachers are distributors of power.

I had a student come in to my office hours tonight, and when all the other people had left, she and I started talking about how she was doing in school, what kinds of problems she's been having, etc. I, being me, started talking about my own experiences and philosophies and how...

Is it just me, or is Ville Valo more well-spoken than most native English-speakers?

...Not that any of you know who Ville Valo is, though.


Also, just for the record, I just realized that my favorite female vocalist and my favorite male vocalist are both from Finland.

Woooooooooo....

Drank too much too fast tonight. Not alcohol-content-wise (I only had five pints-ish + a shot), but volume-wise. I had gorged myself to the point of being stuffed right beforehand, and proceeded to down said five points + shot in just over an hour. Never got drunk, but I can honestly say that my entire esophagus was full for a little while there.

Added a bunch of new pictures to all three folders, some of which are from the first NH visit from this past summer that I never got around to posting.

Also, if you have any idea where the pictures in the "awesome artwork" folder come from, let me know. I found them while roaming around the Internet back in middle or high school, and have...
