Tori's Bloglet

Frankly, starting a project with people, and then stopping in the middle is mean. Mean mean. Stupid silly smelly Cassie. _

Why take pictures that are so big there is no possible practical use for them, and they won't even fit on normal people's computer screens? _

Chris Van Allsburg (who wrote Jumungi and the Polar Express and other such books) wrote a book is supposed to be a single picture with a caption from a story. The story he tells is that all the pictures with the captions were left at his doorstep, with the rest promised if he liked, and he did, but he could never find the man who left them there. The pictures are beautiful, and you are left trying to guess what the rest of the stories were meant to be. I was just looking at the inside of Tori Amos's "Strange Little Girls" and there are all these pictures of here as characters with single sentance captions from stories by Neil Gaiman. I think the original idea had been that they would all be there, but they were too long. It reminded me very much of that book. _

I had something terribly important that I wanted to say, but I have forgotten hat it was. So, I will just say that I am very glad that long weekend is coming up. _

Maybe they're out of town and that's why they aren't answering their phone or calling me back. Yeah. Maybe that's it. _

"The intention of every other piece of prose may be discussed and even distrusted, but to the purpose of a cookery bok... can conceivably be no other than to increase the happiness of mankind." --Joseph Conrad _

Tomorrow is the Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas. It is also the day the sophomores return to reading Aquinas. _

"It's sounded like there's been someone shovelling snow outside my room for like two weeks." (Said by the guy who lives nextdoor to me. Cause it sounds like that in my room, too, and eventually I decided maybe it was coming from that side, and so I went and knocked on the door.) _

Audry and this guy named Kitt are teaching swing dance classes on Sunday nights. They are very good dancers, and are adorable. I just wish I could actually make it to their classes at times other than when there are fencing tornaments that cancel our D&D game. _

Tonight they had an All College Seminar on Hesiod, and I though, hey, Hesiod, I want to read Hesiod, so I went. And they'd tried to put me in a room with Mr. Borjesson, but I went into a different one. Ha ha ha. I talked to the SCI member in the class, and he didn't seem to care. We had a prospective, and a few febbies a few freshmen and a few sophomores. And Hiram and Mr. Grenke and me. It was interesting. Especially when a febbie started talking about poets being liars, and they are definately not reading Plato yet. And then when I walked out, Mary aa bunch of other people were standing around talking to Mr. Borjesson pretending they were all smart and shit, and I felt betrayed, cause Mary hated Mr. Borjesson just as much as Nate and I, and there she was being all happy talking to him. RRR. _

The TV in the Campbell Common Room tonight was at least sort of fixed for the sake of Mabel when we found that the TV we'd borrowed from somewhere had next to no sound--which is to say, enough sound for a few people to be watching a movie, but not enough sound for a large group of people to heckle a movie. So someone went off to fix it. And it worked rather well, except that the picture was bad in this sort of way where colours weren't quite lining up and it made me sick. _

Trying to read Kant while being hungry, at that point of hungry where my brain doesn't like to work, is not fun. My brain reaches that point of hungry rather easily. _

When I realized it's less than a month until Valentine's Day, and that this meant that I could, potentially, eat those yummy little hearts, and Christina said she was going off to the grocery store this afternoon, I asked her to get some for me. I was picturing the bag that they usually come in. Instead I got three boxes. And they're tarter than they usually are. Still yummy, but not at all whatI'd been expecting. _

Hey, Martin, my computer seems to have taken a dislike to your blog, and says that a "connection error occured" or something along those lines. Is it my computer or your blog? _

The guy above me plays the guitar constantly. CONSTANTLY. I swear. I wake up, e's playing his guitar, I go to sleep, he's playing his guitar, I'm sitting here doing anything else ever, and he's playing his guitar. All the time. _

I watched this girl tonight in seminar (she was sitting next to me) read the Ethics, with it on top of her Hume. It struck me as rather odd. She didn't talk atall, she just sat there and read Aristotle. Very very slowly. Occasionally she would look up so that Mr. Kolb wouldn't notice that she wasn't paying attention (Mr. Kalkavage was unable to be there). I really couldn't understand why someone would spend an evening where they wanted to be reading Aristotle in a class where they were supposed to be discussing Hume. Or at least sitting there and listening to people discuss Hume. If you want to read Aristotle that badly, don't come to class. _
