So I just talked to the head of the English Education department the other day, and it turns out that by next Spring, I could be enrolled in Master's courses to begin studying -- of all the fucking things -- the applications of graphic novels in the classroom ( Read more... )

How have you been, old friend? It's been a while ( Read more... )

This weekend was definitely one of the more interesting weekends, but far from the most productive. Where the fun started, the motivation to do my homework came to screeching halt, and I am now faced with 1 novel to read, 2 papers to write, and 1 power point presentation ( Read more... )

Ooh, I can't tell you how much I loved to get out, get sunburned, and get blisters after years of just straight working ( Read more... )

After an entire afternoon lost in my own thoughts, I have come to the conclusion that I, the Mad Musician, have become the target of my very own internet stalker. It's flattering, really, and I do invite her into my blog with open arms (albeit holding a switchblade and a plank with a nail in it), because she tends to agree with every damn thing I ( Read more... )

Just one of the little writing exercises I was working on. If you want to read it and comment, be my guest. If not, then suck it up and give it a read through anyway. It's the first part of a story I have in mind, which is about finding salvation in tragedy ( Read more... )
