Something clever.

posted by Seth in , , ,

I’m feeling lazy, this means that you’re not getting anything close to a cohesive entry.
My semester is winding down to a close, and I’m really very happy about that. I think. At least, it’ll be good to think I have free time to pursue the books I want to read and do the creative things [...]

<3 Pimsleur.

posted by Leila in ,

I am, er, sampling Pimsleur’s Speak and Learn Essential Russian 1 at the moment just for kicks, and also because I’m thinking about taking Russian in college and after taking French, I’ve realized it’s not a bad idea to test drive a language to make sure I’m at least interested in it before putting in [...]

Bruises.

posted by Seth in ,

Ahem. If I might be so arrogant as to quote myself:
Don’t you hate when your vocabulary is truncated by your inability to confidently pronounce words and phrases you toss about with wild abandon in your writing? There’s nothing that sticks quite so fiercely in the craw of a pedantic logophile than fumbling the pronunciation of [...]

Acceptance letters: a comparative analysis.

posted by Leila in ,

It would appear that the readers of Valamity are far too astute to be put over by what was possibly the most blatant April Fools’ joke of all time. High fives all around!
Okay, so I had a long paragraph about being all inundated in the college application process for the past few months that detailed [...]

All good things must come to an end.

posted by Leila in

Here’s to all the pretty words we will never speak!
This was fun for the time it lasted, but sometimes you’ve gotta move on…you know? Don’t take us off your blogrolls just yet, since there’s still some cleaning up to do.
But…these long distance relationships, man. They’re killer. I can’t believe it lasted as long as it [...]
