Well, I gues these aren’t really reflections on Thanksgiving itself. But they’re things that popped into my head today; in that sense I suppose the phrase is susceptible to the construction I’m giving it.
Quiet day. Both roommates are off doing Thanksgiving stuff with friends and/or family, so I’ve had the place to myself since about [...]

I mean, I suppose they served a legitimate purpose, say, 50 years go. No, I’m not selecting this as an arbitrary time frame. Go back and read your case law. In developing or more industrialized nations I’m sure they still serve a quite meaningful purpose. But here?

My shower ran a bit long (no, I wasn’t rubbing one out), so I’m compiling what would otherwise be a series of emails I don’t have time to wrap individually. I clearly have no shame, so everyone gets to figure out which one(s) is/are theirs.

(1) Ever fall into a mental rut that keeps you from dealing effectively with conceptually very simple things? I’ve been in one for a week or so, I’ve decided. Probably longer. It’s not that any “administrative” tasks I have to address right now are that complicated, but I’m feeling a bit psychically drained lately and I’m [...]

I’m leafing through a copy of the “2005/2006 Student Guide” I found in the student lounge here at school. This thing is hilarious.

My long day at school’s a lot longer if I just sleep through my first class at 9:00. My next class isn’t until 2:00. It totally frees up, like, five hours. Amazing.
Drinks tonight with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. Should be fun.
Random musings…
(1) Don’t wake up and [XXX XXX]. Bad idea.

So it’s officially late in the semester now and it’s time to start acting like I’m actually in school. I had a relaxing weekend and now that the eye of the storm has passed it’s time to knuckle under and disappear for 6 weeks or so until finals are behind me. I’m not exactly looking [...]
