It occurs to me that all the things I say (to other people, not to you, dear journal) fall into one of four categories: 1. Mathematics and/or Physics and/or Philosophy 2. Impeccably timed inside jokes 3. Scathing witticisms directed at people I love 4. Social banalities I’m doing a frequency count; the ratio doesn’t look […] I had my first root canal on Monday. It went all right, as far as elective surgery is concerned. My tooth was a little sore for about 24 hours before it exploded in the most inconceivable mind-wrenching pain I’ve ever experienced. I won’t waste electrons by bitching to you en masse. Suffice it to say […] Well, I think I’ve waxed sufficiently philosophic for now.

I’m going to start writing again, either picking up Sunbeam where I left off or starting something new. I’m kind of playing with the idea of a fictional autobiography, which means I either have to come […] I’m sick. As I was lying in bed delirious with fever it occurred to me that maybe there are still people wanting to read this, so I might as well say something. Anyway, Yuri called a few minutes ago and we reminisced about high school. It got me thinking about how many parts of our […] Midterms are upon us. Or upon me anyway. Professors at Purdue can have them whenever they like so midterm “week” lasts from three or four weeks into the semester until finals start. It’s one of the less annoying things about this place. Oh well, at least the snow has melted. My first Linear Algebra midterm […] |
