I really don't want to write this USAP paper, but I don't have a choice. But if I were brave/defiant/stupid enough to make a formal declaration that I'm not going to write this paper, here's what I would say:

1. I shouldn't have to do anything in which I don't believe strongly. And I don't believe strongly in any Cause that would entail my writing a ( Read more... )

So, I need to finish my Philosophy paper by to-morrow night because I'm going to Mizzou and leaving on Friday morning, and I left Republic in the HCR ( Read more... )

I really want to see Good Night, and Good Luck, a movie about Sen. Joseph McCarthy vs. Journalism God Edward R. Murrow. It ( Read more... )

Having noticed the approach of grey skies and winds (and having checked on the Weather Channel), I'm under the strong impression that we'll be getting some storm action this afternoon. I'd love to go outside and play once it ( Read more... )

I'll just wake up early. Or, try to.
