I am breaking my no internet ban in order to share with you all this piece of writing I did today. Now I am going back to my essay. I have a secret place. It’s not the place that is a secret, I know lots of people know about it. There’s windows overlooking it on [...]
Also, this is probably going to be my last blog entry for about a week. I am adopting a strict “no internet” policy until my essay is done. Wish me luck, and I’ll talk to you all again when I finally come up for air.
“What you’ve done is a terrible thing. Aside from injuring individuals and their computers you shook the foundation of the system.” Not saying that I approve of people putting out all these computer viruses, but perhaps shaking the system isn’t such a terrible thing.

Success!!! At Begone Dull Care this afternoon I managed to obtain from Mr. Tuck the lyrics to his new song about the Johnny Experience, to be entered into the annals of the Gesangbuch.

What I need, desperately, is a shoulder to cry on. Not because I’m sad about any particular thing, or even really depressed. I’m just tired, so tired, of working so hard, and I’m frustrated at working so hard and still not feeling like I’m getting anything done, and I want to sob it all out [...]
The bias of the so-called “liberal media.” Y’know, I’ve been rereading All the President’s Men, Woodward and Bernstein’s account of how they uncovered Watergate, and I’m just struck by how much nothing ever really changes. Don’t we ever learn from our mistakes?
