I love this sentence.
i think the other guy is just playing rock band. in fact, i am positive that’s what he’s doing because i just heard the audience clapping at the end.
turns out i live next door to two of those guys. i’m surrounded!
eush asked: Is Jen Bryan teaching that Medieval lit class, by any chance? (PS. classics dork here from ’09. Yay Oberlin)
Yes! She’s awesome, and it seems like she’s gotten sassier, from the looks of her syllabus.

Rex Lee is an Oberlin alum!!! He’s gonna be here on Tuesday doing a Q & A. I am gonna go!
When I look back at the semesters that I fucked this whole thing up, it was because I was definitely taking the wrong classes and overestimating my abilities. Now I am approaching this like a Luther song, taking it nice and slow, and not taking things because they sound smart (this has to be the only explanation for some of these choices, which sounds ridiculous, but I was young, dumb and full of Pabst, so there you go.)
The ice on the ground is unrelenting. It makes everything a chore. I hate it and when I graduate, I am moving back to California where I will never deal with this again. How can people live like this? Life is too short for this. I want to wear cute shoes and eat avocados all year round, not sensible shoes with good traction. Fuck that.
So. Classes! I am taking: a medieval literature class (with the same sassy prof who I took Medieval Women Writers with last time I was here, we used to call it Medieval Male Bashing), a biology class on nutrition which is one of those biology classes they have for English majors who can’t handle real science, abnormal psych, and a Creative Writing class, that’s gonna rule: two of the required texts are comics (Best American Comics 2009 & The Arrival)
I’m mostly worried about the medieval lit class. I have kind of a hard time with old language. Nothing makes me feel like more of an idiot. So, you know, if any of you reading this are classics dorks and want to rap, holla at me! First up: Virgil’s The Aeneid.
I signed up to make breakfast at the co-op on Monday, because it’s low-stress and all the good cooking spots were taken and I liked making breakfast at Tank before. You just make some popovers or some pancakes and the 10 people who show up are grateful.
Unfortunately, now we also have to cater to those gluten-free people. I was gonna make vegan muffins (everyone loves muffins and I wouldn’t bother making ones with eggs because I bet we don’t even have any) but I guess I need to think about making something gluten-free, too?
So now I’m looking up gluten-free recipes and asking myself…WTF is xantham gum?
outside my dorm today. the whole town is basically covered in ice, except for select sections, like say, the steps to the conservatory. DAMN CONNIES GET EVERYTHING.
