Today involved Brain Death on several different levels.

• Water Margin Chapters 38-40. Yes. I had to read bits of the original text from which the Suikoden game series was based off of. No, it's not really accurate. We'll be doing Journey to the West soon, and boy am I looking forward to comparing Sanzo to his real counterpart in literature.
  
• The Distinctive Art of Chinese Fiction by Paul S. Ropp. It's not as distinctfully artsy as it sounds.
  
• hel_interuppted and her Creative Writing Block (*cough cough*), but Hel was "wholesome" in some ways, the most notable being I'LL BITE YOU IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO MEH! way. Bullet through the brain, girl, bullet through the brain. You know I love you. <3
  
• saisun at the Table after 1/4th of a bag of sour worms. Nuff said.
  
• Math 11 exercises for Chapter 4. Expansions of polynomials scare me.
  

I should be adding John Dryden to that list, but I don't think I have enough mental energy to tide me through all 38 pages of his essay.

Power grid that my main light is connected to has been knocked off for some reason and I doubt that it'll be fixed any time soon. Sticking to the trusty old lamp I've had since I was in grade school. There's something about my house that swallows up belongings and its lack of hot water without a manual heater and its funky electronic dead spots and overabundance of computers that could almost be considered charming.

I only managed to catch miguel_zeruel in the morning and I didn't see khursten at all. We're all busy trying to save our asses down here.

And the internet is back to normal. Oh joy.

That's only a few chapters of each, and they're not particularly great. @_@ You sure?

[archangel-dream.livejournal.com]

Sure. Anything new to chew on would be okay :D

As brain-deathy as they might be, they certainly sound like interesting reading. I don't think I ever worked half as hard as you at school or uni o.0

Work? What's that? I have no idea what you're talking about. Now, if you go into the topic of ritual suicide on campus... x_X

I hardly even remembered my past college algebra lessons. O_O;

Oh God, did you guys critique those awful poems?

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're in the process of doing so. It's taking every ounce of my will not to speak up... I feel kinda bad butting in as though it's my class.

Still, if it truly is my divine mission to instruct the wayward...
