12/27: Christmas gallery!
12/14: i just had
a dream in which, in the dream, i dreamt that i overslept and was
panicking about being late for class (as it was 11:66 and i had a class at
11:00, so it was now 2/3 over) until i realized that it was Tuesday, the
day in which, in the dream, i had my Monday schedule, meaning i didn't
have class until 1:30, so there was nothing to worry about, at which point
i also realized that it was winter break, and thus i didn't have class at
all, at which point i celebrated by standing there for a while with a
goofy smile and blissfully Doing Nothing.
on that bizarre note...i'm out
of here!!!

12/11: response to an
email asking if i want to go shopping in NY. names removed.
S__ -
boys don't "shop." they "buy things." preferably in
the fastest and least painful manner possible. that is to say, from
Walmart or the Internet.
unless you're dating them, but then they're not "shopping."
that is called "hanging out," and, though painful, is considered
preferable to "the doghouse."
that said, there might be guys interested in "hanging out" in
NYC, should enough girls be going. D__ in particular has cast his vote for
"ice skating," which is a particular form of "hanging
out" especially noted for the opportunity it offers for
"fun."*
it should be noted that certain guys have such an aversion to
"shopping" that they actually prefer "the doghouse" to
certain forms of shopping, such as "shoes."
i'm sure there are offended exceptions among the guys on this list. do
yourself a favor and take careful note of them they usually make wonderful
and attentive dates. take them to houseparties. reward their tolerance.
but as for me, i'm going to go "buy things" for my doghouse.
i plan on making it warm, luxurious, and blissfully free of
"shopping."

* "fun" is similar to "shopping," but involves more
"falling down."
12/8: hehehe
oh! and i just entered
my first picture ever in the weekly photography contest run by the dpreview
Sony Talk Forum.
some of you might recognize the
picture. :-) props to katie for letting me do
that.

thanksgiving. no updates for a while.

caking of cheryl. bwahahahahahahahaha!
russ & amanda's wedding
pics are up, too. all black&white, since i had to take them in
infrared mode -- too dark for anything else. but they look good this
way. or, at least, i think they do. and this is
my site, after all.
11/19: yeah.
we saw the leonids. that's right.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
tired........
11/17: half of me
wants to keep this updated. the other half keeps his heart off his
sleeve.
half #2 is winning.
though they have compromised on the photo galleries. which are Fun.
though half #1 would like to
take this opportunity to post a "help wanted" ad, in the
interest of finding more common rooms to study in. studying in The
Cave (aka the room of doom) has proved less than successful. email
me! im me! anything.
11/13: i passed
the greek exam! i passed the greek exam! i passed the greek
exam! i passed the greek exam!
please remind me to sit my
butt down and get things right with God so i can study more
than 14 hours before the exam next time.
i'm sleepy now.

11/4:
harrumph. living cold again - without truly engaging the world or
anything (or anyone) in it. heart of stone.......
1) justification
(making clean). 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you
shall be clean from all
your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
2) renewal
(making new). 26 And I will give you a new heart,
and a new spirit I will put within you.
And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a
heart of flesh.
3) sanctification
(making holy). 27 And I will put my Spirit within
you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
Ezekiel 36:25-27
i keep expecting to be
obedient before i desire to be obedient. but what can one
expect from a corrupt heart before God has worked a miracle in it?
corruption, of course. and only a fool can expect to change his own
heart.
10/31: fall break
should be longer. like, all of fall, for instance........
i would like to include a
tribute to xanga.com
for teaching me many valuable life lessons, such as:
-
60% of people aged 14-22
are openly depressed. 12% are hiding it. 5% are
high. the rest are annoying.
-
deep thoughts are less
deep on paper.
-
boys have girl problems.
-
and girls...
have boy problems.
-
oh, and teenagers write
rather predictable poetry.
hmm...kinda like the duckpond!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! i am xanga
incarnate! run away! run awaaaaaaaaaaay!
10/21: nick got
me hooked on grits.

10/16: say hello to Mascot the terrier! 
10/13: new camera is HERE!

10/11: ow ow ow ow
ow...my fingers are going haywire again. seems oddly
reminiscent of carpal tunnel or something. ahh well. if i just
did my silly exercises and refrained from spending all day on the computer
i'd be fine. but that would make too much sense.
10/6: note to self: don't put your greek homework down somewhere and neglect to
remember the location of that wherever.
10/4:
"I
desire to record my shameful deeds and the carnal corruptions of my soul,
not that I might grow to love them, but that I might grow to love you, my
God. I do this out of love of your love, recalling my worthless ways as a
bitter tang in my meditations; that you might become sweet to me, an
unfailing sweetness, a sweetness joyful and secure, and so gather me in
from my dispersion, into which I have been scattered...
So what was
it that lured me, except to love and be loved? But no line was upheld,
from one soul to another, as in the shining road of friendship, but clouds
exhaled from my murky carnal concupiscence and bubbling adolescence
obscured and darkened my heart, such that I could not distinguish the
serenity of love from the gloom of desire...Your wrath swelled over me and
I was oblivious. I was deafened by the rattling of the chains of my
mortality, the punishment for the arrogance of my soul, and I wandered far
from you, as you permitted, being enticed and poured out and emptied and
boiled by my relationships; and you remained silent. O belated joy of
mine! You were silent then, and I wandered further still from you towards
more and more futile seeds of grief, arrogant in my will and restless in
my exhaustion..."
Augustinus, Confessionum, II:1-2
wee...
10/1: hmm...i don't
seem to be keeping up with this as much this year. that and the
musings web sort of Died.
if it's any consolation, the photo galleries
are rapidly evolving. much new stuff. i look forward soooo
much to having a new camera...one month, two tops.
in the meantime...things are
busy. very, very busy. PEF, Manna, RA duties, Brown Co-op
chores, Café work, Greek, Latin...this just might be one of my hardest
semesters. and soon i'll have to start my first Junior Paper.......eep.
but i have a little sib!
shout out to james yang. Manna frosh-adoption program. i think
he's already figured out that his big sib isn't quite normal...mwouhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha*THUD*.
odd...MS FrontPage is warning
me that "mwouhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" isn't in its
dictionary. silly program.
