funny

it's amazing the weird looks you'll get from people when you walk down the street in a wool coat, scarf, gloves... and flip-flops.

killing me softly with [its] song

okay...i realize that i've been sucking it up lately at doing the whole "posting-to-the-blog" thing.

i almost care, too.

but i'm so friggin' tired!

and i'm behind in my classes, trying to figure out how little work i can do while still passing the class (which, if i recall, only require a D...)

and quite frankly, I DON'T CARE!

i really don't...

it's almost enough to concern me...but i can't be bothered.

i just feel dead and lethargic...and don't care about anything but laying in bed with my wife in my arms.

i think marriage is dangerous for this reason.

and i'm not talking in euphemism here. just laying there. doing nothing. watching a movie at the most. sleeping, maybe. but mostly just laying there. doing nothing.

i'm not entirely sure what brings up this deplorable attitude.

most likely a combination of things...acting together to form a synergistic super-power that is slowly consuming my soul.

i hate it when that happens.

same old drummer

i saw the funniest thing as i was coming in to the library just now...

out in the square, there's a "hey, we're cool, come get free pizza from us" thing going on. naturally, with such a thing, they need to have loud music being played on the monitors, so that EVERYONE knows there's something happening.

well...i'm just walking along to the rythmn of the music, cuz it's kinda catchy and fun... and as i notice that this is what i'm up to... i also happen to see the guy in front of me walking to the same beat. and the two girls walking toward me. and the lady coming out of the library.

as i look around, i notice that about 80 percent of the people in the square are walking with the exact same pattern of footfalls. and i'm sure that not more that a few of them knew what they were doing... let alone that thirty people right around them where doing the exact same thing. just amazing...

major issues

sometimes i sit and ask myself dumb questions...like, "what the devil am i doing majoring in french?"
usually these come up after i've had a particularly interesting time in one of my french classes.

today, for example. i'm just all sorts of tired and not wanting to be awake. yet, i find myself waking up at 5 am (subconscious worry that my alarm won't go off), then again at 6:15 (when my alarm actually does go off), to be early for an 8 am class (so i can finish up my homework...). i don't really even want to be in this class! i wanted to be in the noon class...but, as cited by the officials and powers that be over such situations, it was canceled due to "the low number of students enrolled." silliness. pure, unadulterated silliness...

i hereby post my formal complaint.

mostly i'm peeved at this whole thing because if i'd've been able to have the other section, i would have only had one 8 am class--a lab on monday--and i would have had only one class on tuesdays and thursdays--men's chorus at 4 pm. just pause and reflect upon how marvelous that would have been! i would have been perfectly happy with my solid 6/5/3 hour block of classes on monday/wednesday/friday starting at 8/9/11, respectively. but, alas, there is no such luck for a lowly sophomore majoring in the french language. sadness overwhelming!

otherwise, things are coming along smashingly.

depravity

my face is naked.

i don't like it.

my upper lip shrank.

i look young...and funny.

my wife doesn't like it either.

i want a beard card something fierce.

grrr...

html woes

so...i've kinda decided that it's a shame i don't know more html coding.

i guess that's my own fault.
i should probably work on it if i want to know more...
but it seems like such a waste of time, when instead of going out and learning the coding myself, i can just mimick, copy and paste things from other sources. hmmm...

and then there's the whole, "html is so over-rated, and we're all gonna come up with our own codes and use those instead to make it harder for people to figure out how to do stuff until they learn this new code" issue.
i'm almost anti-that...but only because i'm uneducated on the issue, and mildly unwilling to put forth any necessary efforts to conform.

i'm so anti-establishment...
