I'd like to turn to a type of song that people like myself find ourselves subjected to with increasing frequency as time goes on, and that is the college alma mater. You'll find yourself at a reunion of grads, and old undergrads, and eh... somebody will start croaking out one of these things and everyone will gradually join in -- each in his own key, of course -- until the place is just soggy with nostalgia. Well, a typical such song might be called Bright College Days, and might go like this. Bright college days, O carefree days that fly, To thee we sing with our glasses raised on high. Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls. Turn on the spigot, pour the beer and swig it, and gaudeamus igit-ur. Here's to parties we tossed, To the games that we lost, We shall claim that we won them some day. To the girls young and sweet, To the spacious back seat of our beat up Chevrolet.

There needs to be a campus club for people who used to have wings.

[One would assume that on the nights Kaden had off, he would be in bed, asleep. Of course these people didn't know Kaden very well at all. He was a night owl, metaphorically speaking. The moon and the stars glowed with a pleasantness that the sun did not. One could gaze at the moon, and not be blinded. One couldn't do that with the sun. No, the sun lit up everything, and helped to give life, but the sun was a cold, heartless thing that seemed to scream, "Don't look at me! Don't you dare look at me!!"

Kaden respected that wish, and would instead stare at the moon. It was a beautiful thing in his opinion. Actually all of the night sky was beautiful to him. All the stars hung like tiny lights against an expanse of inky darkness. It was enough to make Kaden sigh with contentment, and shake his entire body just before preening himself.

Just below him he thought he saw someone. A person sans pants exiting the building, and heading off somewhere. Kaden thought about following the person, but in the end decided against it.

He was getting a little tired.]



Memories drift in and out of mind
and the little people get left behind
So WHATEVVVVVVVVVERRRRRR!


yeah, that quote speaks volumes to me at the moment.

Back in from Booneville yesterday morning. My father is He's Thank you for comforting me when you did. It really means a lot to me.

Sir My liege Sir, can I ask you something difficult?

If you're here, I could really use your guidance.

I know I am only furthering my debt, but Florence was definitely worth it. Besides, I'm already fucked drowning anyhow. No harm in a summer working in a traditional sculpting studio. I have now come back rejuvenated, excited and full of ideas.

However, the vital information I wish to share with everyone (or, perhaps more so, art majors) is that I was able to fully discuss the probability of a summer abroad program with the studio head. So, in the event Montenegro would also okay it, who all would be interested? It won't be for another year, if that, but I'd still like to get a good idea of what the numbers might look like.

And for those interested.

[The camera flickers on to show his studio: the extra room he was paying extra for to ensure that he always had proper space to indulge in his art. Walls are covered in both finished and half-done paintings, sheets are draped over sculptures and easels alike, but - perhaps most notably - is the large marble sculpture in the center of the room. A clear, though obvious interpretative, image of Xochiquetzal: a blatant Hellenistic approach hardened by sudden, rigid lines to better portray the goddess' original image.

Coming around from behind the camera, Noe appears looking bright-eyed, excited and completely covered in dust.

We'll call this a bit of showing off with equal parts incentive - a combined attempt to lure prospective students into the Fall semester's sculpture class whilst also displaying my most recent project.

[He looks down at his hands - which are just white with the excess of chipped away marble - and his brows make a sharp arch upwards.]

Mis manos nunca han sido tan secas. They actually ache.

[A laugh. A brief shuffle and outward moving flick of the hand.]

But that is of no matter!

[Noe takes a moment to look at his work, arms crossed and body tilting back, before he then looks back to the camera and grins. It's clear that he isn't looking to address the masses any longer, his face has taken on a warm and comfortable characteristic that someone might only reserve for close friends or loved ones. The following Spanish spoken, as well, is delivered with an over-exaggerated "Spaniard lisp".]

¿Qué opinas, Javi? ¿Abuela gustará?

Many thanks to everyone who came by the face-painting booth at yesterday's festival. I had a lot of fun, and I saw many happy faces with all sorts of lovely things painted on them. I think my favorite was the girl who requested a purple cat, I didn't catch your name but you looked quite smashing.

Xander seemed to make some new friends while he was playing, and to those students who took a special interest in my son I owe you for keeping him occupied while I worked. You're welcome to come visit him anytime.

Also, for anyone looking for a job, Tadpole Academy Daycare is expanding our hours, so we're looking for someone to help out on our morning shift. If you're interested please let me know.

I'm coming home tonight. The hospital called me.

The festival was so lovely! For those who wondered where I borrowed my routine, this video demonstrates the original performance:



Fortunately, I picked better music. The music in the video was lovely, but wasn't something I love to perform to.

And a lot of the waitresses had trouble at work today when customers asked questions. One girl told me she couldn't lie. I think that's silly; why would anyone not be completely honest with their customers anyhow? But I tried to call a red pen blue and I couldn't say it.

As we know what this means, I'm sure, I suppose the only thing I can say is this will be an easier time for me than others. I apologize for anyone who may experience difficulties at this time. While I've always been a proponent of honesty, forced honesty is an entirely different matter.

Jay and I have decided to start saving money to attend the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. I'd like it very much if you considered coming with me.

Have you been feeling better? Has Loki been bothering you?

[Greek Friends]

I saw what he said to you all. Next time I see him, I'm not going to break his neck. But I won't say imagining it doesn't please me.

Essentially, I'm not tolerating it and I'm going to have words with that man.

My younger brother Thaddeus came for a visit. I haven't seen him in years. He keeps looking taller each time I see him, or I've shrunk the older I get. He still doesn't look quite as handsome. He's getting married, so let's hope he can do better than I did. She seems the good sort. My father ought to like her.

Might need to take some time off to go see my old man in the near future. It's been too long.
