I've just finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

The rear blurb proclaims, "Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read ( Read more... )

So here I am at SMU. Woooo, I’m a SMUdent again for the night. Things have changed. What is this Word 2007? It’s really different. I’m not yet accustomed to Vista (though this is an XP workstation) or its derivative apps with their fancy ribbons and stuff. On my computer I still use Word 2002 and have no plans to upgrade.

On a trip into town last week, I went into the library and there was a science exhibit going on, with all kinds of interactive displays and things. Cool!

One of these days I’m going to have to learn to keep my mouth shut. There was a dearth of readily-available SMUDS (Saint Mary’s University Drama Society) photos from way back in the early 2000s, and since I had the yearbooks in question and access to a scanner, I volunteered to take on the task of scanning, editing, and uploading photos ( Read more... )

There’s a moment in Jude the Obscure where Jude Fawley walks for miles from his aunt’s house in hope of sighting “Christminster” (Oxford). He walks, waits, waits, and waits, and finally the mist clears and he sees it ( Read more... )

I’m going to restrain myself tonight. I am going to have this entry finished in an hour! Yes, that means minimizing Google Maps and Wikipedia links, which are probably my favourite part about blogging anyway. Yes, some intrepid e-friends of mine such as kitkatlj will pen thoughtful, almost academic entries about the most important social and religious ( Read more... )
