good news



Valere:
My valet’s an oaf who’ll spoil everything, but I guess I’ll have to use him since there’s no one else. Goodbye, I’m off to find him. Where the devil can I find that good-for-nothing at this hour? Oh, here he comes, just in time.

When you come around,
everything else disappears.
My ears disappear.
When you come around,
everything else vanishes.

The birds have no heads
when you come around.
Everything loses its legs
when you come around.

the one thing I like about PCs



I wish my mac could go exploring.

I can't believe...

that I got an A on this French paper several years ago.

"Wild, exotic, and often dangerous animals have become popular in recent years. Monkeys are very cute, but they can often kill their owners. Many small boys like snakes of dangerous size. Some of them have piranhas that can bite off chunks of flesh. Experts encourage people not to buy exotic animals – they are very expensive, and aren’t really happy in a home. What’s more, they often attack their families."

yikes







377 hours until I graduate.

studying for finals

I just realized that Rainbow Chips Ahoy have been discontinued for 10 years. No wonder I haven't had one in a while. I also realized they were only called Rainbow Chips Ahoy in Canada. The world is a darker place than it was this morning.

Not very helpful

I'm glad I'm done translating a 17th-century French play into rhyming English.

Because this is what the rhyming dictionary gave me to rhyme with
"You have sworn your devotion" :

Arctic Ocean
Laotian
hand lotion
sales promotion

On a positive note, I think the whole experience has made me a better rapper.
