The plants in the corner are doing well. One of the cats has a scratch on its head.

The sodium they use for the beacons outside is getting on my nerves. The color is so damn dull, like some shitty iced tea you get from some shithole burger joint.

I like each and every one of my students. Woe onto he (or she) that dares...

Its very cold and dry out. Bun B is playing on my iTunes. His southern swagger cannot make headway against the winter. I will have to bear this winter for some months yet. I can only hope for a quick start to spring.

New Year, Subcomandante Marcos style:

Feliz ao nuevo, cabrones!

I extend my most heartfelt wishes to all ya'll. Do take care of yourselves, whether you're partying or laying siege to a police station.

Mas vale tarde que nunca.


Oliver Goldsmith suits me just fine.

Dear mercenary beauty,
What annual offering shall I make,
Expressive of my duty?

My heart, a victim to thine eyes, 5

Ah. It feels greet to be back

Happy April to all!

I, like Mr Chaucer, love the month of April, almost as much as my own birth-month of May.
I shall celebrate its opening with this, the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales.

1: Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
2: The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
3: And bathed every veyne in swich licour

My my, the world is an odd place. Ever wanted to see examples of North Korean cartoons? No? Oh well, I'll link it anyway. Enjoy.

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Brought a tear to my eye for some reason.



Does anyone know where I can get mead by the way? Seems like yummy stuff.

Its easy to drive snakes out of a place where there weren't any to begin with.

Let's perpetuate sterotypes and get hammered again.

Smoking weed is starting to lose its interest. I wonder if this means I'm becoming an adult? I never thought I would ever be ready to give up my first love, but maybe I will sooner than later. Such a beautiful morning. Orion is going to take a nap cuz Scorpio whupped his monkey ass.
