Will autograph today’s StudLife [p.7] for Pepsi. Or any form of caffeine, at this point.

We regret to inform you that, after careful consideration, Washington University in Saint Louis is unable to accept your offer of rivalry at this time...

Danny is a sophomore in Arts & Sciences and likes Pepsi. He can be reached via e-mail at dbravman@wustl[].

In severe pain after running into a ninja.
Worst Jedi ever.

Students for Ethical Solutions presents Dr. Simon Dresden, author of “In Defense of Herbert Spencer: It's Time to Cull the Herd”, this afternoon at 4:30pm in Rebstock 215.

It’s time to call out and be heard

“Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.
Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there.
Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there and shouting, “I found it!”.”

Found the intersection of classics and math, tinged by linguistics and history- and it’s overwhelmed by a mess of philosophy. Again. Naught to do but follow the cat outside into the night, along a path that hopefully will diverge before leading back to the same location the following year.

“A round of applause for Plato: let him be right today; he can be wrong on Wednesday.”

“So I just show up and say “feed mizzle”?”

Team North Korea’s Got Pyongyang won the first 4 games, before losing all but 1 of the rest (the exception being against our B team), to end at 5-5. What we lack in endurance we made up in luck, managing to take third place off of tiebreakers. FTP, what was the B team’s name?

Team Sean Preston Spears Federline became effectively Team Sean midway through Trivia Night, taking second place behind a quizbowl first place team. (The third quizbowl team took fourth, denying a sweep.) Winning second place merited a $50 iTunes gift certificate... per *player*.

Our $250 pales next to the $500 in BestBuy gift certificates the A team scored.

[And now to TN, completing for mere glory.]

False pessimism.

I like this far too much to hate it.

Know Your Schwamm, half and half:
{introverted, self-conscious, sympathetic, witty, accepting, reflective}
{glum, insecure, lethargic, cynical, embarrassed, withdrawn}

(Honorable Mentions: {mature (in the sense of hating immaturity), violent (in the sense of AngryDestructive)})

You clearly need to be less adjective.

Quite depressing to, of the things one needed/wanted to do over Spring Break, have actually only accomplished laundry and taxes.

The cross clearly should be displayed in US courtrooms; for it symbolizes the foundations of American justice: the death penalty and torture.

Ethical arguments.

“When Max, a F[] associate, receives his paycheck, he sees that the Company has made a large error in his favor. Max wants to keep the money, but doesn't know if he should. As he makes his decision, what questions should Max ask himself? […]
( ) How would it look to my teenage daughter if I kept the money?”

“Anne is Kyle's boss at F[]. Anne and Kyle also belong to the same church group. They have both attended many of the group's outings and activities together. They are attracted to each other, and Kyle has hinted that he would like to start dating more seriously. Which of the following statements about Anne and Kyle is true? […]
( ) They should quit the church group.”

St. Patrick’s Day, celebrating with taxes.
No connection.

Null day, celebrating with a haircut.
No connection.

(Today is the null holiday I created, celebrating to preserve what little festive momentum there is from Pi Day and the Ides of March through until St. Patrick’s Day. I’m still considering ideas for such details as traditions, rituals, and a decent name.)

Ides of March, celebrating with books.
No connection.

Pi Day, celebrating with bowling.
No connection.

I have an amazing talent to have the library be closed when I actually want to study there.

Who needs Cancun?

Done with midterms. Could have been a lot worse.

For spring break I will be going nowhere, and it will be a vacation.

What did you have to run off for? Mock trial?
“Nope. What's the one other thing it would be?”
On Sunday evenings? Trial.
“No trial practice tonight. In general, what's the other reason I'd be gone?”
Um, let me think. Trial?
“Other than trial.”
Sometimes you have this trial thing to do...
“Hint: off campus.”
Tournament?
“It's not mock trial.”
Is it mock trial?
“In other words, the reason I'm gone has nothing to do with mock trial. Stated differently, if you say anything to do with mock trial, you are wrong. To put it in another way, do not say mock trial again.”

This week will be long, exhaustive, annoying, and potentially requiring utilization of my network of spies and assassins.

For the record, you needn't kill B[] in his sleep. At least, on my account. At least, tonight.

Lost a Firefly themed ninth game of Mafia to a Serial Killer victory. I was Kaylee, a naive cop, and did correctly guess Night 1 that I was unlikely to be accurate; but when Mal was revealed to also be a cop, I figured he was more likely to be insane than for Kaylee to be naive. Ironically, it was moot: my targets were all innocent, at least at the time of investigation: I did investigate the SK who eventually won on a night when he’d have been revealed as innocent anyway.

While I did misplay, it doesn’t seem that any of my mistakes were direct causes of the town’s loss, though they indirectly might have made things complicated enough to be considered contributory to the loss. Interestingly, half of the lynches were correct, including the final 2.

Am I allowed to root for cancer?

"Ringworm, Wheat germ, that heinous perm
Everything from which we turn
Living with cancer isn't so easy
And daily treatments make 'em queasy
Yet there is hope, and help you can

Finding a cure, is the plan
Ordinary people discover every year
Relay For Life helps dissipate the Fear

Learn about cancer, while having fun
It's different than anything else you've done
For Grandma, David or Aunt Mary-Sue
Everyone makes the night meaningful for you"

I’m a big believer in the question-mark method, to indicate to the grader that even though I don’t know the right answer, I know the wrong answer.

Giving up irony for Lent.
