It's Almost as Good as Answering the Question of Schrodinger's Cat...

reka tsvetok: argh
reka tsvetok: the stupid school store charged me $3 for three postcards instead of 3 for $1
reka tsvetok: I don't feel like going all the way back there
cmedalis: :(
reka tsvetok: apparently two dollars is the price of laziness
cmedalis: haha well that answers that age-old question

Insanity is a State of Mind

(you get there by going crazy)

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

"With a sudden movement she bowed his head and joined her lips to his and he read the meaning of her movements in her frank uplifted eyes. It was too much for him. He closed his eyes, surrendering himself to her, body and mind, conscious of nothing in the world but the dark pressure of her softly parting lips. They pressed upon his brain as upon his lips as though they were the vehicle of a vague speech; and between them he felt an unknown and timid pressure, darker than the swoon of sin, softer than sound or odour."

So Much To Think About...

My weeks are full; my weekends in a way are fuller (after all, they're shorter) ...but at least for some of the weekend I have Jason-time.

Mrs. Dalloway

"He had not said 'I love you;' but he held her hand. Happiness is this, is this, he thought."

Basically

So basically, here's the conclusion I've reached after two weeks of Uni: My insanely busy schedule leaves very little time for messing around online, much less the time *and* brain activity needed for composing interesting blog postings. I read the headlines and my comics in the morning and maybe check in with Facebook here and there in between assignments, but that's about it...

It's going to get very boring here for a while :P

More Firefly tonight! Yay!

Eeew

On Monday, I was going over to turn the A/C down in our dorm room when I noticed some black mildew splotched on the vent of the unit. It was very unpleasant to discover-- not only is there mildew in our room, but it had been dispersed by air for who knows how long! I wonder why I've been getting sick? Naturally I turned it off, left a note for our RA, and then went down to the Snapper offices for the rest of the day.

That night the RA knocked on our door (waking me up) to take a look and explained that previously the janitors had sprayed all of the mold (before we moved in, I would assume) and killed it, but hadn't actually wiped it off the surface. We were welcome, she said, to get some disinfectant wipes and remove the residue ourselves. I was not very awake, so I didn't argue.

Now, she's a bio major, and I suspect that this was complete bullshit. For one, just because it's black doesn't mean it's dead. Our house can get pretty damp during the humid summers, and I've seen plenty of black mildew that is not at all "dead white mold." Secondly, whether or not any spores left behind are dead, it is entirely possible for them to start growing again. Basically, the University doesn't have enough staff-- or enough funding-- to check every A/C unit again and clean it, plus, they don't want to be open to lawsuits, so they're covering their asses and getting us to do the work for them. And obviously I will be doing that this weekend with my roommate, because neither of us want it near us longer than it has to be.

And for those of you who aren't familiar with Millersville, our dorm windows are bolted shut. No fresh air for our rooms...

I'd probably be more pissed about this if I weren't so incredibly busy >.<

(In other news, I got the library job I applied for at the end of last year and my first day was yesterday! It seems pretty cool so far, although with the potential to be monotonous, just like most jobs.)

Holiday?

Holiday? Hah... well, I did get to watch the first DVD of 'Firefly.' Great show, but I have to wait until next weekend to watch more :(

At Long Last...

Finally, it's Friday!
