Home safely from our trip to South Carolina, delayed two hours due to weather in the Midwest. All in all, not bad considering we flew through O’Hare. A lovely trip overall though. Pictures likely to follow.
To my extreme annoyance, my copy of Cormac McCarthy’s The Crossing has pages out of order—it skips from [...]
Things are going well on vacation. A quick look at us at high tea at the Biltmore:
Boxing Day is always one of the biggest days in the footballing calendar and, from where I’m sitting, it could hardly have gone much better. Spurs with a 5-1 thumping of Fulham (didn’t realize Dempsey was [...]
I cranked through Stanislaw Lem’s Solaris in a 24-hour period—ah, the benefits of vacation.
I liked the book quite a bit, though it has a serious gender bias. The men all stand for the serious, rational, scientific; the women represent the wiggy, emotional, exotic. Part of Solaris, at least in my reading, is deconstructing [...]
We arrived safely in Aiken last night after spending a day in Greenville, NC and touring the Biltmore estate (read “American castle”). Like with castles and cathedrals in Europe, you start to think that if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all. I have to say that the Biltmore impressed me nonetheless, just [...]
We’ll be traveling for the next couple days, so don’t expect any posts until we arrive back at Chez Hergenrader in Aiken, SC. Hopefully with pictures.
I’m sure you will survive.
School is over for me for the semester. I am happy about this.
Current Mood: Tired |
So very close to being done for the semester and a sweet, sweet five-week break. My only standing obligation is my “Drugs in Dystopian California” paper. It needs to be ten pages and it currently stands at 6.25, meaning it should be done tonight.
My final judgment on James Joyce: grudging admiration. As [...]
Recap: A good day with about 28 guys, meaning two games with each team having one sub. I was on a field with an older demographic and I was on the faster, younger, better team.
Health Report: Good, except that I think a constant diet of ibuprofen has made me a bit queasy. [...]
I sent the below in an email to one of my friends in my Joyce class and thought I should post it here too:
“I’ve put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant.”
–James Joyce
“I’ve put in so many unintentional enigmas and puzzles in [...]
Recap: Thankfully not an overload of players—about 30-35 for most of the day which meant two full games with subs, but not too many subs. One field was more competitive but it wasn’t mine; I was on the better team of the somewhat clumsier game.
Health Report: Fine, but I need to arrive earlier to [...]
