There is one question at the center of all existence, are we human? Or are we dancers?

The Plague

9 December 2008

It’s been four days since my last post. There are several reasons.

  1. Finals blow. They take all my time, and because I’m an English major, they all come a week early in the form of research papers.
  2. WordPress changed their interface. I couldn’t figure it out, so I gave up, until today.
  3. I’ve got the plague. Or something closely related. I’m tired, sniffly, coughy, and nauseated.

 

My nose is constantly chapped. I'm constantly using chapstick on it.

I’m gonna go reapply chapstick on my nose.

Funny things I wrote in high school Fridays

I played with the  Jazz band today, Mr. Watring wants me to be in the class soooo  bad, but I don’t have space, and if I get to play anyway… Whats the point? I’m the lead trombone and I’m not even in the class.

It was tough being the best trombonist in high school.

F-f-f-fantasy

4 December 2008

Today MU’s legendary fantasy writer’s club, The Inklings, meets for the second time. We all prepare a fantasy short story and spend several hours reading and critiquing the work. I will likely reproduce my work here soon. Today, I wanted to post a video that’s really informed my work as a blossoming fantasy author (Stephanie Meyer, of Twilight fame, loves it). 

Most notable quote- “If it’s going to be a romance novel, you want it to be ideal. So, I don’t think you want to write the novel and scare teens out of having sex.”

Latarian

This news story is wild:

At first watching this made me laugh, but then I watched the linked video about a second event with Latarian:

It’s almost too much to believe. I think this video, though, is the most disturbing in a different way:

It almost seems like he’s been rewarded.
