I recently found myself in the library on campus. It's not a place I frequent--my major doesn't favor spending time among the books and shelves, despite the peace that I feel when I catch the scent of a tome that has more decades than my parents under its belt. Since that initial visit 3 days ago, I've come back 3 more times, just to sit at a table and work on the modular arithmetic slowly stealing my soul and the paper I really wish I could devote time to.
Being surrounded by the books and the quiet reminds me of who I used to be, back when all I did was bury my face in a novel, a poem or a story of any sort--when I wasn't trying to emulate those authors with works of my own, with mixed results.
The world may be slowly moving towards digital means of representing all of the information in the books around me, and perhaps there isn't anything I can do to stop that.
But I hope I never forget the smell of those old pages, or the weight of the author's words in my hands.

Blogging
First off---I haven't caught up on all my blog reading. Sorry..
That out of the way...I have been quite busy. I had to drop a course, etc etc.
But, because of that, I now have the time to go back to thought experiments and game design, like designing a 3-sex society and finishing that top-down scrolling space shooter I started working on forever ago.
I also send out all of the e-mails.
Sadly, I really don't have much to say right now, and I need to get back to my modular arithmetic homework.
Au revoir.

A Week Half-Finished in Review
Sunday: Rehearsal for 1h30min(for the play in which I am paranoid), work from 7pm til 2am. Tech director excitement/duties till 3:40am, homework until 5:00am. Sleep.
Monday: Class at 1pm. Study til class at 4pm. Quiz in French class. Lose points due to not knowing how to cook several french dishes. Commence mind cursing in French.

All the homework needed to be done.

9:30am class, didn't finish the hw. Passing it in Thursday(this is not a bad thing in this class.)
Character meeting with different director: Turns out Claudius starts out as a bro, channels Timmy Turner, then Scar, then just becomes a bit of a jerk. good to know.
2pm class. Learn things. curse not working more on project. Threats of assassination issued. Escape in the company of fellow TD's.
Two hour conversation about feelings ensues.

Slaying the Edible Dragon that is Santa
So tonight, from 7:00pm till 2:30am, I was engaged in a 9 person, 2 DM round of Dungeons and Dragons, in which the enemies and the maps were sweet, sweet edible madness. We fought chocolate elfs and gummy bear gnomes on a peppermint bark field, adventured through a gingerbread castle, fought a marshmellow snowman(which our changeling quickly copied), and even fought Santa Claus himself atop caramel reindeer.
It. Was. Glorious.
And I'll talk more about it later, I'm tired.
Good. Night.

A New Start
So...
Hi.
Long time no see.
Let's get right to it shall we? No, don't shoot me! Don't sho---!
Darn it.
Ok, take two.
Life has progressed quite quickly lately. I am now in two one-act plays going up at the end of the month, tech directing another play going up at the end of March, plus all of the school and work obligations.
Oh, and I got to go ice skating.
And am missing a chunk of skin half the size of my palm because of this. Well, maybe a third of the size.
It was a lot of fun though, and I'm not saying that due to masochism.
Or am I?
Anyways...this entry needs some sort of direction.
After today, all posts will revert to having some sort of actually point. This is just to make a post to have made a post. Update schedule is tentatively twice weekly, W and Sa.
Right...so...bye!
