  1. Things Fall Apart

    Things Fall Apart

    is a very good book by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe. It is also a good title for this blog entry. In the context of online communication, we are both limited and free. We are free in the sense that we "speak" to each other without any preconceived notions about each other, through a distillation of ideas and words on a page. The limiting part of this is we have no backstory on the people we are communicating with, we have no depth of understanding of what ...

  2. Classical Music

    I'm learning to play Rachmaninoff's first piano concerto and I'm so excited! I know that the most popular one is the second, but you have to start somewhere. Does anyone else play piano? Or any instrument for that matter? I play trombone as well, although I haven't touched it for a few months because of school and all. I adore classical music and so of course taking piano lessons on campus this year (I've taken them before but this is the first time at college) is really fun for me.

  4. War of the Harpies

    You would think that as the proud groom to be and more then willling to let the future oppressed one plan the wedding and with my administrative skills things would go smoothly. As usual pretty much so but the long suffering wife's maid of honor was causing deep seated resentments in my 'I thought she was such a quiet sweetheart when I met her to its true it's true they do turn into harpies when they catch the male toy in their claws.'

  5. 2ndNight-not as good

    by , 03-03-2007 at 11:08 PM (Shannanigan's Search for More...)
    Ah, well, last night went pretty well with opening night. Better than the preview night if I may say so myself. Tonight was definitely an improvement on top of that...though I'm a little worried that my scene may not have been as passionate as intended.

    Maybe it was just a different crowd, but tonight, people laughed for all of the slaps, and even Rodney's hip movements that are meant to insinuate his "raping" me had people chuckling. I mean, maybe it was just nervous laughter ...
