“These lights won’t last the night.”

Mere formality.

We’ll have the lanterns forever.

12/9/06

I worried for nothing.
You’ll be fine without me.
You’re not going to remember this in the morning.
I’m going now.

“Why does it have to be all or nothing? And if it has to be all or nothing, why does it have to be nothing?”

Future perfect tense.

Whatever he asks, just say that it violates subjacency.

Drawing family trees.

“Existential plastic / Extra nightly cow / Damn jettison goodbye / Through everything...”

Too much to do.

“...Entanglement broke/ Unsophisticated clockwise...”

Too little time left.

“...Suitcase pining lobsters over murderous distraction...”

Ordered disorder.

“...Playing / Word / Disassociation...”

Getting : having :: seeing : watching

Suspicious of Whistlers’s final weekly “Beast with 2 Backs” show is tonight at 9pm in Ursa’s. If you can’t get over there to watch me, there will be no acceptable excuse for not watching the semester’s final performance next week (location/time TBD).

A present went with kiss
Past Stoic's bliss
Dependent on intent, to miss
Lovely vacation, Swiss.

“Running in circles...”

Perfected the technique of being in the right place and being at the right time.
Failed at doing both concurrently.

"Fly, you fools."
LotR. Book 2. Chapter 5, maybe? And let's say 2 pages from the end?


Unsure about whether this is necessarily bad
Certain that there must be a less backwards way to journey.

“...No one ever said it would be this hard...”

Casino Royale is a good movie, but that it is not why it is good. It is good because it is different. Which is especially interesting, since it for so many reasons it should not have been.

12/1/06

Hibernating.

11/29/06

I was born in 1986, died at age 16, and lived forever.

It is intense. Seeing it is intense. Watching it is intense. Its themes are love and death. Its setting is the past and the present and the future. Its symbols are the ring and the triangle.

But most significantly, The Fountain is my story. It is what I have thought, will live, and must tell.

“Why at age 16?”
Why in 1986?
Why forever?

11/28/06

Compulsively clicking mice.

11/27/06

Everytime I heard Robitussin I saw the evil guy from Jungle Book.
Shere Khan?

<laughs>
Sometimes I wonder about you.
At least I didn’t know the evil guy from Jungle Book of the top of my head. Which was why I was laughing.

The preceding statement either helped or hurt my argument. It is left as an exercise for the reader to determine which.

11/26/06

Bitter towards Thanksgiving.

“Your honor, I object to this witness's testimony. Opposing counsel has failed to show that they even exist!”

Existentially hunting the Loch Birch Mongoose.

On my side I have wit, logic, and the approval of S[]. Whereas C[] has only her infallibility.

WU Basics
Going to Bear's Den is simple. There's plenty of variety. It's easy to find a companion for a quick run. It's a casual and convenient stop that you can hit multiple times per week, even per day.

Ursa's has fewer items on the menu, but it has a particularly savory selection, with a focus on dessert items. Nor are the activities limited to the culinary realm; it's the perfect way to play a game, or maybe relax next to a fire. It lacks the same access that BD has, but nevertheless it's still simple enough to drop in here a couple times a week.

Center Court has limited access, is impossible to attend alone, and requires a commitment of both time and money- but in return, all you can eat.

And for those times when you're all the way on main campus? You go to Mallinckrodt.

A posed hypothetical:
Let someone somehow destroy every single copy of every single piece of work of Shakespeare’s- burn every script, hack any database, rip the pages out of every schoolchild’s textbook, take a scissors and magic marker to any work containing any allusion- that is, let Shakespeare not be killed, but rather hang by the threads of memories of actors and of him.

“If I die, the idea of a triangle would disappear with me.”

What becomes of Shakespeare?

“...tam in potestate esset oblivisci quam tacere.”

What becomes of the vandal?

“Does anyone know what Pliny the Elder was known for?”
Dying.

11/22/06

“But you see, it's not me...”

Need a strict no-zombie membership policy.

“...it's not my family...”

11/21/06

“Cyborg is a co-dominant trait.”

Half again.

11/20/06

Love, easily distracted by novel feats of anti-physics.
(Like everything else.)
