As if you could kill time without injuring eternity

Aeneid
Book I 637-642
Tamen interno palaca je lukso brilegas kusxanta
Dido en cxambro; regxina preparis festenon belegan
kaj sxi atendas amatan Eneon cxe tabloj kun arte faritaj
tukoj purpuraj kaj vazoj argxentaj, oraj tasegoj de vino;
zorgas regxino cxu li sxin komencus kore amigxi.

I believe it worth investigating whether the way that we formulate opinions about others were based largely on how each individual's muscles are defined; and and whether this were because muscle-definition be based, to a large extent, on exercise; and finally whether exercise have been a good proxy, at some evolutionarily distant point, for quality of action; for is there any better way to judge another than by his actions?

Quiet in the library
I dislike people who can't work without perfect silence. I know that my dislike is irrational, but it is also something EXTREMELY close to violent; I swear I'm going to hit the next person who tells me to type quieter.

NB: really geeky
I had always thought that a big objection to marx was the identification of alienation with some kind of bad. This was accidentally clarified by a joke I made at lunch today:

Being relies on Notion for differentiation from Nothing
In alienated labor, you become a physical appendage of the machine
so, Notion unites with Being, which becomes indistinguishable from Nothing:
it is literally the end of the world.

Nostos
Yesterday I saw the most amazing thing...
( The Great Wall of Cleveland )
I leave the downtown Cleveland Amtrak station at 2:30am(UPDATE: delayed to 4am) tonight, to arrive in Chicago at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
Anyone else going to be in Chicago for NewYears?

Blue-neck, brokeneck
Today my little brother called me a "blue-neck" because I like sushi and tea.
I had never head the term before.
This evening I saw Bokeneck Mountain, and it was wonderful, but so sad...
I then went out to sushi.

I'm sorry to those whose friendspages I filled with the scraps of a miserable Latin paper. Damn I hate Lucretius right now.

*pounds fists on keyboard*

Your eyes are shutting, the time is running,
when all of a sudden, from some deeper part of your mind,
a sheet, a pencil, a keyboard or stencil
reminds you that you're behind.
Your book unread, your mouth unfed,
your paper unwritten (and all you can think is "caffine!")
you find yourself once again in that Yom-Tov work disaster dream.

I'm leaving for Chicago again in 2.5 hours. sweet.

Last night I went out in Cleveland and had a lot of fun. No crazy and stupid frustrations, no dumb regulations. I even managed to wake up at 9:45am, though I spent most of the afternoon napping. wow.

Every time that I plant a seed
He said "Kill it before it grows."

My 14 year old brother had his friends over. They played baseball outside and watched a movie. The movie was Coyote Ugly. wtf?

I'm back in cleveland, and the taste of the moment is vanilla. Updates are unlikely, unless something crazy happens.

This update from the Hamptons
Sunshine and good times. My internet extends to the poolside. I have chosen this opportunity to be a huge brat; I spent the monring walking around East Hampton doing nothing but complaining and refusing to carry the bags of useless, expensive shit I bought.

From A Letter From Lesbia:( only if you like Latin )

Hegel= intellectual orgasm

Going Clevelandside for a few days, then off to NY for two weeks, coming back to Cleveland for the second half of August, and then Septembering in Chicago until the start of autumn quarter.
