One famous take on a bit of wisdom from Solomon goes "'Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

Yeah, the presentation today didn't go so hot.

Twenty percent of the grade. For the course taught by the chair of my major department.

Um, maybe he'll just think I have room to grow?  :D ( Read more... )

The book I was planning to very briefly skim before writing a fluffy, vacuous essay on it, due tomorrow,...is actually engagingly well-written and interesting!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! *shakes FIST!*

Damnit, I was really hoping for some sleep tonight. But no, once I actually read the cursed thing I'm going to be forced to write a reasoned essay. That I've ( Read more... )

I have officially survived the Requiem! And so did the rest of the "Masterworks Choral" I'm in this semester, which is really saying something considering that some of the folks in there probably don't remember their grandkids' names much less 70-something pages of Latin.
But we made it! And we even got a standing ovation on the opening ceremony ( Read more... )

Philosophy of Religion class was today (still more like Religion of Philosophy).
We were attempting to start into arguments from morality, when this happened:

PowerPoint: "OBJECTIVE Morality vs. RELATIVE Morality:"

Obnoxious Pointlessly-Contrarian Twit: "Well it's not very objective to object to other people's culture, now it is?" <-Smirking as if ( Read more... )

      So I just realized that I did absolutely nothing productive today after I got out of class.
      I have a combined total probably around a thousand pages of texts to read, and assignments due Wednesday that I haven't even started, not to mention the mountain of studying it's going to take for me to catch back up and actually understand what's ( Read more... )

"The Super-Catwalk... of Space!"

What the hell is that?
Apparently it's my own friends-page. Um.

I never use the thing, because time-was everybody you friended was on there, not just the ones you were "watching" (which sounds totally creeper btw). And I was in about a billion comics fandom communities, and our dearly-departed Scans_Daily alone ( Read more... )

Grrrrr. I am supposed to register for spring classes today, but seeing as this is a state school, where pointless bureaucracy is the end-all be-all, can I? Of course not, the network is down. Never mind the fact that they knew it was going to crash, as it's crashed every semester for years, and could have, I don't know, FIXED IT. No no, that would ( Read more... )

I don't know why I can't just trust my intuition. I'm always right, yet always talk myself out of going with my gut, and of course the out-come is exactly as bad as I originally predicted.

I knew "pomegranate" was not a promising name for a hair color.

Damnnit DD, why can't you ever listen?
I don't even like pomegranates...

I cannot write a rondeau to save my life ( Read more... )

I finally got my grubby little paws on a copy of the new Legion's second issue when I picked up the third today. I won't get into the faults of the Friendly Neighborhood Comic Guy, at least not in this post.

So. .( I now have three issues on which to base an opinion )
