– This weekend was a moderately productive weekend following hard on an exhausting week. I’m not complaining.

– I’M EXCITED AND SQUEAMISH : THE TIGERS BEGIN THEIR FIRST POST-SEASON IN 19 YEARS TOMORROW. At the last minute of the regular season, they slipped behind the Twins, but clinched the Wild Card spot.

For each of the prior readings I was able to take the entire selection and integrate it into a sort of overall impression that I was able to relate independently to my own experience and more explicitly to the theme of the class itself.

– I’m sorry that I’ve been falling behind so much lately. Partly, I’m trying to write more substantial and serious posts, and that can screw with the order of the littler things as well. Also, my schedule is much busier now that I’m back in school, with classes, writing, reading, events, and so on pretty much every day.

I’m tired and I got 16 hours of sleep in the last 3 nights… okay, it could be worse… that’s still about 5 1/3 hours a night, but my brain is melting. So I took a break from a reading upstairs to close my eyes in the informal computer lab (because New School doesn’t grace us with public space along the lines of the South Lounge in the Reynolds Club or even the Rec Center at U of M Flint) but it’s difficult to relax due first to the old man snoring a few feet away and more significantly some student social group grappling (in very passionate, emotional terms) with the issue of whether or not their donated membership cards are equitable or something along those lines.

Watch this.

Under heated discussion. Numbers One, Two, and Three.
I feel like I’m directing you to the eighth circle (Malebolge specifically), but all I can suggest is that you ignore the popups and avoid Yahoo! at all costs.

As per last week’s Question of the Day:

You are a female farmer and herder born in the year 28 CE. You will probably live into your late twenties.
You are part of a small Bantu tribe. You live in what is present-day Nigeria, near what will evantually become the city of Enugu.
