A friend of mine has a child who shall hitherforth remain nameless. This nameless child and I recently had a conversation over dinner (he’s 1, I’m 22, so I felt we were equals). During this conversation, his mother (Alethea B.)…
T-Rob: Foreknowledge in itself does not entail determinism. Foreknowledge AND omnipotence does. God interfered the instant he created everything. My response: I agree with this point insofar as we assume that the set of God includes all knowledge and ability…
And now, a chapter-by-chapter non-verbal reaction to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Dark Lord Ascending Whoa! In Memoriam Hm. *sigh* The Dursleys Departing Aww. :'( The Seven Potters !! Fallen Warrior Eep! The Ghoul in Pajamas Whoa. The Will…
I have a friend that gives me homework. Every time I talk to him, I end up leaving with more to do than before I ran into him. Obviously, I’ve learned to avoid seeing him if at all possible. I…
So, wait, what exactly did Napoleon do wrong at Waterloo? Was it just that he had split up his forces to scare away the Prussians, but didn’t actually succeed in anything but splitting up his forces and defeating a rather…
I find a distinctly good book: A Void. Also, an author authored a alliterative article: Alphabetical Africa. One I seek, I share immediate to others: The Caedic Cadenza. All of those examples of constrained writing, admittedly are far superior to…
I hope I’m not the only one who wishes more and more fervently for death whenever I’m faced with an impending deadline for a project I don’t really care about. That’s probably not healthy. Nor is it healthy to prefer…
I’ve decided to learn French. J’ai décidé d’apprendre le français The reason I’ve decided this is because a friend of mine had some extra language tapes that she wasn’t using, so I figured I might as well. Besides: I’ve always…
Happy Bastille Day!! I know, I can’t believe my favorite holiday is back! Whoo!! Whoo!! Whoo!!
I took the Graduate Records Examination today, which, for those of you who are not aware, is the equivalent of two SATs and a swift kick to the groin. I woke up early, had a good, light breakfast and went…
Having just finished the Count of Monte Cristo (rather than study for the GRE), I decided to research the book (rather than study for the GRE). Apparently, even though the book itself is wonderful, I read an updated Victorian translation…
Forgive me if posting becomes sparse this week. I’m taking the GRE on the 12th and I really need to break 600 in Verbal before the test. So I’m purposely going to avoid the intraweb (if I have the self-discipline)
Personal Ad: I like romance as much as the next guy, but long walks on the beach make me gassy. 1: Did you go to that party where if you wear green it means you’re single and if you wear…
I’ve decided to quote-mine the Internet. My theory is that there are some awesome people writing wonderful things out there that nobody has heard of or read. So I’ve started a new series aimed at finding funny and smart people…
I live in the only place nearby where it is legal to blow up fireworks. As a result, everyone and their colicky step child heads over here for Independence Day. For the past week, fireworks have tapered my evening strolls…
I figured out the secret to world peace. You’ve probably guessed it from the title of this post, but that won’t stop me from going on and on about how I came to this realization. The short version: I didn’t.…
