Bloglet, the gentleman's mock turtle soup -- Moss made it sweeter than myrrh ash and dhoup
Awright, ya wanna hear how today sucked?
1) I woke up from a nightmare in which I had bought a plane ticket to Croquet that I couldn't pay for, but before I could see anyone or have any fun, this evil Ben Closs-like mean jock Johnny started chasing me around with a machete, trying to kill me. I barely escaped.
2) I made a fool outta myself in math class
3) I get an email from Bigfork saying they can't find a drummer or a clarinettist or a trombonist, and I doubt that they want *me* sitting in the pit by myself, so I might be out of a job this summer
4) My first practica whined and moaned and threatened to bring the wrath of their seminar tutor down on me if I didn't let them out to listen to the Wednesday afternoon lecture -- 2nd week in a row!
5) I had to cancel my second practica to go to the housing lottery.
6) I waited there for an hour, until they ran out of rooms. None left for me.
7) Someone sharked all the real milk and a carton and a half of soymilk out of the refrigerator, so we had to have water and cookies for Storytellers.
8) Something that doesn't bear mentioning, but irks me fiercely anyway.
9) A guy on the Opera Punks list insulted Boris Christoff
10) My room's still dirty, and I don't want to read Adam Smith.
{sigh}
Water Polo was lovely, anyway...

"In every Magnet the total quantity of Magnetism (reckoned algebraically) is zero." Because new poles are formed every time a magnet is divided, it is assumed magnetic lines of force, unlike electrical lines of force, do not terminate but form closed loops. Therefore the magnetic flux over an enclosed space is always zero, that is, each flux line that enters an enclosed space must also leave it, or put another way, there are no sources or sinks for magnetic lines of force...
or to put it another way...
OUT POPPED AN EMU!!!

C'est de la tęte aux pieds un homme tout mystčre,
Qui vous jette en passant un coup d'śil égaré,
Et, sans aucune affaire, est toujours affairé.
Tout ce qu'il vous débite en grimaces abonde;
Ŕ force de façons, il assomme le monde;
Sans cesse il a, tout bas, pour rompre l'entretien,
Un secret ŕ vous dire, et ce secret n'est rien;
De la moindre vétille il fait une merveille,
Et jusques au bonjour, il dit tout ŕ l'oreille.
Timante? He is, from head to toe, the Man of Many Mysteries;
He'll catch your eye -- and yank it -- 'till you come to hear his Histories.
But though he has no business, he's the busiest man around
All told with faces better seen upon a basset hound
By sheerest force of foppishness, he bores the whole damn world
He'll whisper a conspiracy, but once his tongue's unfurled,
The secret's not a secret -- it's a Nothing! now you'll hear
The piddliest fluff kicked up into a fuss to last a year
And up including "hi there," he'll be hissing in your ear.

I got all sorts of crazy thoughts and secrets that I wouldn't put on my bloglet in a million million years... but I wonder if they come out, anyway. Hm. Awright, chaps, if you can find the week I was most screwed up and miserable and overwhelmed and cataclysmically unhappy of my bloglets -- to make it fair, I'll tell you that it was an aftershock of an unblogletted original cataclysm, and that it occured after I moved to m14m.net -- email me to guess, and I'll give you a prize if you're right. I'm curious whether... hm.

Could this be my grandfather? I've never heard of William being spelled by that, but two other passengers, Eugenio and Enrico, left from Naples on the same day; they were both little boys, though. What do you think, daddy, is it him?

Wow! Y'know what? Prank was tonight! Those seniors are way more crafty than I'd credit 'em -- this is the note I found in the computer lab recycle bin:
Attention Seniors:
As all of you who attended the meeting on Saturday afternoon know, due to leaks in information and overwhelming general knowledge about prank, the date has been moved. The new date will be Thursday, May 3rd. Due to this f*ck up, we now have a lot of clean up work to do. Each group that is pranking a seminar has some responsibilities for Monday. They are:
1) Personally find your seminar tutors. Explain what has happened. Tell them that our seminars WILL be meeting.
2) A notice to other tutors is being sent out to assure them that prank will not be happening. Granted, these seminars will suck. Explain to your tutorial tutors who have underclassmen seminars why we had to do this.
3) DOn't tell the underclassmen that prank is not Monday. However urge them to actually do their reading.
We have consulted five tutors as to what we're planning. Though they were not enthusiastic about the idea, they seemed to think that we would not get in any trouble. We will be having another meeting to figure out what else will have to be done to fix what has already happened, as well as how to keep the new date from leaking out. Furthermore, we have identified three of the worst underclassmen offenders as to spreading the prank date. We are asking you to limit your actions against them. They are::
Remember: whatever you do to thse people must not be in any way linked to prank!
We all screwed up. NOw all we can do is fix it. If you have any questions call the people on your contact sheet. We will discuss this more at Tuesday's meeting.
-- The Executive Prank Committee.
Now, isn't that *way* better than a fakey note from Ms. Kronsberg? I bought it, but you gotta admit it was a damn good ploy. The skit was good, too, all spoofs on tutors, and included the line "Baby, I'm so phenomenal, I'm nearly noumenal!"... oh, also, our particular seminar was pranked with real style. Seniors bust in wearing sailor hats, and led us into the lab room adjoining, where a little blonde billy budd effigy was hanging, morbidly, and which was decorated with hammocks and parrots and starfish. We played nautical terms Hangman, and sang sea chanties and made toasts (our group's sea shanty was 'Rule Brittania' and our toast was 'Here's to Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash!'. We won, and got to walk the plank as a prize.) It was very nice indeed.

Mamy do zaoferowania papier do drukarek atramentowych 720/1440 DPI
w atrakcyjnej cenie, formatach od A4 do A2. Papier jest jednostronnie
powlekany, matowy o gramaturze 110g/m2, porównywalny jakościowo do papieru
Epsona Photo Quality Paper. Papier ten nadaje się do wszystkich drukarek atramentowych. I nawet na drukarkach "niskiej jakości" daje zaskakująco dobre efekty. Dzięki specjalnej "proszkowej warstwie" atrament nie wsiąka bezpośrednio w papier tylko w "proszek", który podbija kolor czyniąc go bardziej czystszym w porównaniu z kolorem uzyskiwanym na zwykłym papierze niepowlekanym. Ostrość rysunku lub zdjęcia dzięki punktowemu wsiąkaniu wzrasta w sposób znaczący. Nadaje się do druku w rozdzielczościach od 360 do 1440dpi.
Idealny do druku wszelkiego rodzaju prezentacji graficznych, zdjęć i wszystkich
druków wymagających wysokiej estetyki. Papier jest śnieżno biały, co podnosi jego walory.

A bit of a non-sequitur, but I think it would make for rather an apropos croquet shirt.

Hey, Kerne, why can't you move to Fe directly, before graduation? I mean, I know it's too late this year, and I'm probably shipping out of this lovely clime after I graduate, but I can give it my heartiest recommendation, and I'm sure I'd be back to visit. Whaddaya think? Senior year? There's an art tutorial! And Faust! And, um... less Navy Boys! Aw, c'mon. I dare ya.

"Although your name of Mirabai gives you a good appreciation of material values, business ability, and skill in organizing and managing others, your success is restricted by a lack of self-confidence and initiative. This name brings out a practical, materialistic quality, with a strong desire for a good standard of living in an environment where you are in contact with refined, successful people. You try to further your interests through pursuing the association of people with influence. Being well-groomed and well-dressed at all times is important to you as you always strive to make a good impression on others. Your interests are more focused on your social life and convivial living, with any pressing or difficult issues being put off as long as possible. Any weakness in the health would affect the fluid functions, and you could suffer through kidney trouble or female problems."
