God, I forgot about this painting. I used to put it on my computer wallpaper at odd times, hoping to shock my mother. Now {snif} there's nobody to shock... _

The ISP that serves SJCSF just discontinued service. We're not sure why. The most common rumor is that they went out of business. We didn't get any warning. We haven't had internet for days. I begged a ride into town from Tim Sparkman and I'm in the library, trying to ease the shakes. I don't know when I'll be able to blog or read blogs again. Email is utterly busted. The earliest we'll get access again is, according to the mucky-mucks, five to ten working days. If we're lucky. It sucks, too, 'cause I drew up my De Profundis character yesterday, just like I said I would, but now I've missed the deadline because I didn't have Remi's phone number and couldn't get the information to him any other way. Grum. So them's my worries. Everything else is coming up roses, though. Very sluggardly sun-baked contented slacker roses. {sob} HOW AM I GONNA MAKE IT?! _

So it's been decided. I'm going to Towson University for all next year, starting this June. I'm pretty happy about it, really, 'cause before I found out about SJC I had always sort of planned on going to a huge anonymous public university. Something about it really appeals to me. I mean, Johnnyland was perfect; I made glorious friends, I read glorious books, I got to steep myself in just a few acres of tight, beautiful thoughtfulness. But now I gotta swing the other way; I've always liked tests and lecture classes -- in a completely different way from liking books and discussions around a table, of course -- and I think it'll be a good way of sucking up techne in a hurry. I'm gonna be living eight miles away from a massive city for the first time in my life, which is also bloody exciting. I'm just gonna keep my Johnny mind dormant but conscious (good thing I kept all my lab manuals; I'm gonna try and re-read 'em along with the textbook stuff), cram my head with modern Gorgias and then march into the world double-buttressed. Y'know? And it means I can come to Croquet '03. So I'm a little scared, but I'm looking forward to it too. I'm anticipating a simple healthy kick in the bum. Comes in handy after all this stargazing. Wouldn't want one without the other, though. _

If you and eye were flesh and sky
And ever hour were dawning,
Then I and you would fasten to
The midmast's easy yawning.

If we and they were miles away
From every match and tinder,
Then they and we would cast a flea
Upon a golden cinder.

If thee and thou were here and now
And no-one ever faltered,
Then thou and thee would shortly be
A sinner swiftly haltered.

If no one knew the sort of true
That held itself unblinking
Then nothing more would wash ashore
The lead forever sinking. _

There once was a feller named Martin
Whose blog was the opp'site of spartan
He won this damn bet

So go peep beneath his Welsh Tartan! _
