I spent the weekend rereading Still Life With Woodpecker, which I still haven't quite finished up. The writing style was so fluid and casual that just the difference in Hume's prose is shocking now that I go back to it. _

I have a Sim named Alice Liddell. Now, when I name my Sims, as I a really bad at the whole naming them thing, I tend to look around the room and grab a name generally from a book, and then name them. (Last year I had the Tyndale family, cause of looking up and seeing the Tyndale New Testament.) Anyway, this girl did not acquire her name by me looking up and seeing my Complete Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll and thinking "gee, Alice..." But by me looking up and seeing my Lexicon and going "Liddell...What a good last name for a Sim." And only then, when flipping through heads and finding a blonde, did I remember about Alice of Alice In Wonderland and name her Alice. _

It was determined by people in my precept last semester (although this determination was done in our math class the next day, as three of us were in math together) that the May Pole is a complete combination of tragedy and comedy. Comedy was, in Greece and Egypt, celebrated by running around town with phallic symbols. Dancing and singing, and so forth, (kome aidia, comedy, town song). Tragedy was done in a circle around a sacrificed goat. (Tragos aidia, goat song.) So you have people dancing in a circle around a phallic symbol. _

Well, I figured out what was wrong with my printer and I made a sign to put on the door to the Campbell Common Room about Dr. Who. I'll put it up at a later date, or I'll give it to Tracy to put up. _

I won a free coke, but the coffee shop doesn't take the lids that say you won a free coke. _

She is back, Michelle, my old roommate. This time her hair is black. Um. Yes. But probably, none of you knew her. _

And there were people playing Poker in the Campbell Common Room, so I don't get to watch Dr. Who tonight after all. And I didn't see a Tracy. _
