Another late morning. I had actually wanted to get in later, but earlier than yesterday, but the El made sure that didn't happen. I have such shit luck with the El. Anytime I have an option of two or three different routes, the one I pick is always the one that runs slow. It used to happen to me all the time when I'd decide to take the Purple Line ( Read more... )

I’ve barely been here an hour and already fucking off. Some people never learn. Some people being me. I’m actually doing some shit from my desk, so it’s not like I am being completely lazy. I just feel more guilty about it than I did at The Circus, because I have only been here a week today ( Read more... )

I am in a good mood today. I mean I am down right fucking chipper. Yes, "chipper". It’s the only word that could possibly describe my current condition. Even tired as usual, I am "chipper ( Read more... )

”Bad artists always admire each other’s work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.” - Oscar Wilde ( Read more... )

I got to meet Captain Nemo yesterday. It was very exciting, though I know the character, to start from the beginning. I wish in a way I hadn’t seen The League or read that essay on him because it will probably ruin some of the surprised. Though, I am not always adept at picking up the intricacies of character development ( Read more... )

I finished reading ’The Soul Of A Man Under Socialism’ this morning and I felt it was one of the best works of Wilde’s I have read. Much, if not all of the essay was completely identifiable to me and made me feel even more of a kindred spirit with the man that ever before ( Read more... )

I’ve hit a wall of anti-creativity here. I feel horrible that I didn’t get this site done for Paapy sooner, but alas, he never sent me any pictures or info like he said he was going to. And, in the end, this contest seems to be all about popularity. I’ll be spending every hour for the next four days casting at least three votes each time (if I don’ ( Read more... )

Users never fail to do exactly the wrong thing to completely complicate everything. Dearest had to raise a panic about this machine swap I’ve been waiting for the other person on. He gets involved, rushes the whole thing and I forget to run Outlook the first time before I give the guy his new machine ( Read more... )

As it has many times before, my quest through literature has brought about the eerie coincidence of me talking about something one day, and then within the next day or two suddenly reading about it in the book I am going through. This time around, it was my dilemma of possessions and "property" in the sense of my not wanting to be tied down to a ( Read more... )

I have yet to write my final thoughts on ’De Profundis’ but I’ve since moved on through a couple of essays Wilde wrote on prison conditions and started reading ’The Soul Of A Man Under Socialism’. It’s an interesting read so far, though I have only gotten through a few pages ( Read more... )
