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.

I don't think I'm effected by this honesty thing that's going around. Anyway, the following songs do not sound good together.

Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
Septic Flesh - The Vampire of Nazareth
Flesh God Apocalypse - The Egoism
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

I apologize to anyone who had to listen to that while in my presence.

Also, why the hell am I watching Aqua Something You Know Whatever? It's obvious they need to cancel this show. They tried Aqua Patrol Squad 1, and now they're doing ASYKW. What's next? Aqua Oh Who Gives a Shit? Aqua We Don't Give a Damn? Aqua Derp Derp?

I've been feeling restless lately, and I'm not quite sure why. Perhaps it's because summer is coming to an end and I keep thinking I should have done more with my time. Other than working, both at the grocery store and the farmers market, I just get the impression that I haven't fully taken advantage of this break. Maybe I can change that before classes start up again.

I got some peaches recently, the produce manager at the store said the crop has been rather succulent this year and I have a cobbler recipe from my mother I've been wanting to try. If I made some, would anyone be willing to help me eat it? If not, I could bring it with me to the soup kitchen when I go later, or I could make an extra batch specifically for them. Hmm, what to do...?

[MARKUS]
I know this might seem like an odd question, but would you like to spend some time together? I've been thinking a lot since our last conversation, and I would just really enjoy seeing you outside of work. We could go to a movie, my treat -- Paranorman looks like it might be interesting -- or we could go for a walk or something.

[...] or, if you'd rather not, that's fine too.

negl, I spent the weekend lazing about at the apartment, playing Mortal Kombat online, and then I got bored because pixelated blood just isn't that exciting.

So I watched Deadliest Warriors instead, because for some reason I just didn't feel like fighting anyone.

Damn it.

Thank you to everyone who attended Nikki's birthday party this past Saturday, she couldn't have been happier to have you all there.

Moving is hard for anyone, little girls included. The friendships you've all offered her is absolutely wonderful: there aren't words eloquent or accurate enough to properly express to the extent of which I am grateful for this. We spent all of Sunday writing out thank you cards - well, actually, she wrote them out and I was only allowed to watch and hand her whatever markers she so demanded. Nonetheless, you all ought to expect receiving them in the mail soon. (She wanted to do it properly, by post and everything.)

[JULIETTE.]
What are you and your daughter's plans for this coming weekend?

[WESLEY.]
Now that India is permanently living with you, might I be able to impose playdates on you? Your daughter is really quite lovely and Nikki really seemed to have taken to her.

[NYX SPAWN + GRANDSPAWN.]
I'm not at all sure if I've asked this yet - which is just poor mothering on my part, really - but when are your birthdays?

It seems like I forgot my notes in the Muddy Waters Cafe on Saturday. If anyone has them, I would be grateful if you could return them. They are rather important.

[Filter: family]

Sage, Night and I were talking about going to the movies together a while back. Would you like to come with us and if yes, do you know what's on?

You are all very very lucky to know my birthday is on September the 5th! I will be twenty years of age.

If you miss my birthday, do not worry! The season of my worship and the worship of the Shakti is soon upon us. Navratri begins on the on the 16th of October and continues until the 24th of the same month.



Look! This picture depicts the forms of Durga - me! - in the ring. All nine of me! Except me now, I am the tenth, but this picture was taken before they knew about me.

The celebration of Durga Puja falls on the 19th day of October and falls on the full rest of the celebration of Navratri. There are dhakis and aarati and all celebrations until Durga is reuinited with her dear dear dear Shiva. Remember it is to celebrate the victory of good over evil - a victory which I brought upon the world!

I expect many many gifts and much praise.

Once the Autumn semester begins again, I will be having everyone retry out for Track and Field. Any one within the Intramural is welcome to try out for Varsity and Junior Varsity.

Dinner tonight?

Not even gonna fucking lie. I googled myself. I was curious to see what shit was out there, but I just ended up going through wikipedia. Like a dweeb. No big deal, lots of crazy shit there but at least it wasn't, y'know, super super fucking awkward shit.

Then I found this:

[The camera clicks on and at first there’s a blurred image of what is obviously a person fumbling with the camera. Sun Yeol comes into focus; checking herself out in the video and smoothing out her ponytail. She smiles brightly and waves.]

Nǐ Hǎo! My name is Sun Yeol and I’ll be starting school with all of you soon. I’m majoring in Music with a focus on [she pauses as she reaches for something off-screen. When she comes back into focus again, she’s holding this violin.] this. My favorite song to play is ‘Sad Romance’ by Thao Nguyen Xanh. It’s really, really pretty when you have a pianist to accompany you, but I think even with just the violin itself, it’s still incredibly beautiful. [She begins to play and when she’s finished, she smiles sheepishly at the camera.]

So, where are my fellow music majors? Any pianists out there? And for the general public, what’s your favorite instrumental? [There’s another instant of blurry images as Sun Yeol comes close to the camera in order to turn it off.]

Teaching my grandparents how to use the computer was probably not my best idea. Had I known they'd be using their e-mail as a Twitter account, I probably would've shrugged and told them I had no idea how to work anything. My grandfather especially enjoys e-mailing me everything about his life. He even asks me where his teeth are and I just don't even know what to tell him half the time. Anyway, to the point - he likes to send me Psychology jokes a lot. Usually they're not that funny, but this one made me smile a little.

cut for size )

Another joke he sent me, kind of made me wonder about our situation. It was something along the lines like "drinking fountain broken - wonder if psych experiment". Probably doesn't help that I just watched Cabin in the Woods and the brain is ripe with conspiracy theories. Nothing end of the world-like, obviously, but ... fuck, man, the shit that happens here.

Got a new tent to replace my wrecked one, Liulfr's curled up by my feet, a pack of cloves hipster wtf, a fresh notebook for writing in, a new poem half-started, and I'm pretty sure I'll be the proud owner of a custom bike in a few weeks. Just gotta get my license first. I saw him as I was walking back from town, saw he was for sale, and fell in love. The guy selling him took me for a ride, and next thing I know I was in line at the RMV filling out the paperwork to get my permit.

Baby boy, eldest, little one, maybe we should all get new rides and make our own gang, invite a few people like Aimon, Jake, Lysander, and Max? It'll be fucking sweet. And if not, I'll take anyone interested for a ride on my new guy once I break him in. It's nice to have a plan in place again. Eh, enough of that, I should concentrate on my back to classes prep before I forget. That reminds me, anyone working at the Sports Center bring your class schedule to work with you so we can adjust your schedule for the coming semester.

I feel numb.

Not bad. Not good. Just numb.

It's a new feeling.

Can I come stay with you tonight?
