Music Meme: Guess the Lyrics!

posted by Seth in ,

Everyone else is doing it, and it looks like fun. I’m such a conformist, oh dear. For those not in the know, queue up your music, hit the shuffle, write down lyrics from the first 25, wait to see if there are any guesses. Anyway:
1. Hey Jude, don’t make it bad
2. We should think about, [...]

Quotidian and quite droll.

posted by Seth in

Hello all.
I keep meaning to write a post, but I get distracted before I reach the point where writing crosses the line from niggling desire and on to full-fledged, purposive need. Plus, I’ve been very busy. I’ve attempted to fill the newly formed hole in my schedule (due to no longer having to read or [...]

The State of the Me.

Hello. Valams rapidly making the descent from “sort of lj-y” to “super super lj-y.”
Ah well.  Let’s nudge it a little closer to the abyss, just for fun.
Here is the Skinny, Or Else What Is Up:
I am currently obsessed with Civilization IV. I do not say that lightly. I honestly cannot remember the last time I [...]

This is me trying to write.

It was the moon-cub’s job to pick the fist-melons, which were a pale green-yellow. The old man would say ‘Simeon, it is time for you to pick the melons.’ He would say these words through his wooly beard every day—every day that the moon-cub could remember. The moon-cub had lived for many [...]

Reflections on the Art of Canvassing.

posted by Seth in ,

I’ve been thinking about taking a political science class for awhile now, and luckily for me, I finally got around to putting one in my schedule this semester. It’s a nice enough class, and I think I might take an International Relations or Comparative Politics course next semester. Anyway, the big project for my political [...]

Effing television

posted by Seth in , , ,

I’ve been watching too much television lately, and I’ve generally been doing too much of nothing. I think Leila was right when she told me not to bring my television along to college. I’m still mildly addicted to Election coverage, and it’s difficult to concentrate once I have some within my grasp. Maybe once the [...]

Two Things

Here is my approximation of what the election will look like. I hope it won’t be so close as this, but I can see it playing out this way.

Here is me sans hair (as [...]

Observations on College. (So Far)

posted by Seth in ,

I miss Leila both more and less than I thought I would.
When the head of Students for Obama sends you an email saying that the meeting is at 5:30 along with the Young Democrats, and the schedule of events posted throughout the Student Union says it’s at 6:30, listen to the email.
The fact that the [...]

Today was a good day.

posted by Seth in ,

Hurray!
Reasons of goodness:
I woke up before 9:00. Invariably, the earlier I wake up, the better I feel about the day and *shockingly* the more I feel like I’ve gotten done at the end of it. My mind just feels…sharper. It’s amazing how much of a difference getting into the shower at 9:30 rather than 10:00 [...]

I never asked to be anybody’s older brother.

posted by Seth in , ,

I’ve played a lot of different roles in my family. My dad married my mom after his first marriage failed, and he brought two kids along with him into the second. Those are my older brothers. So I’ve been the youngest for a short period of my life (about 16 months), and then little sister [...]
