That Old Post That Noone Looks At Anymore

So- I couldn't find the original picture from that March For Life link a couple posts ago, but these kids are almost as cute as the first one, albeit without the meaningful quote from Mother Teresa underneath it. Ahh well, can't win 'em all I suppose.

Coming Soon: Seven Names For Seven Brothers. Or something like it.

So.. I Was About to Blog, When...

I realized that I should be heading over to the cafeteria for dinner.

Hopefully update later tonight, when I'll be working on my papers due next week. Yippee!

By the way, come to the Fedoryka's tonight to read Deus Caritas Est!

Poo.

It appears that some of my links aren't working the way I planned- I'll fix it when I get a chance, just pretend like you never saw it.

In the meantime, enjoy this nifty little article. If you've never read The DaVinci Code, don't bother buying it, I don't want Dan Brown to get more royalties. Just borrow it from me or the library or something so you can be informed about the idiocy that gets published around here.

"Sneer Quotes"

So in this lovely little college where I'm taking nothing but theology classes- I've learned probably... a few things... in class over the last week or so. Like, for instance, how Tertullian easily slipped into a heretical sect in his later career, and eventually got SO good at it, that he split off into his very own sect of Tertullianism.

Would that I could have such lofty goals.

But the recurring theme in my classes (probably a result of having Dr. VanSlyke for 3 of my classes) is the proper care and feeding of Sneer Quotes. No seriously. He talked about it in all three classes. Whatev.

Anyway, most exciting thing in the last week? March For Life. We got free T-shirts. And lobbied at our senators. Oh, and there's that whole standing up for the dignity of human life thing. : )

Gotta get crack-a-lackin on my homework (writing assignment on the Apostolic Tradition due tomorrow morning. woo!) so I'm off for now.

Thanks to Justin for the use of his laptop in this endeavor.

My Eyeballs Hurt

Well, they do.
I am having a bad day. Don't ask me why, because I don't know- I am just currently experiencing one of those inexplicably bad moods. And of course, I consequently act like a jerk and am unrepentant for it. Don't worry- I realize I'm acting like a total brat, and that I shouldn't be. I'm trying to cut it out.

So when all else fails to cheer me up, I do it myself. And you know what cheers me up the most? Discount hormone prescriptions available online!!!

Well, these are pretty good too.

But I like them alot too. Mostly the guy in the middle there.

K, time for bed- hope you were as amused as I was, and I promise the next post will be happier!

Back In the Saddle Again

more updates as the semester progresses- or at least gets funnier (-looking!).

Reasons for Not Updating During Christmas Break

1. Really slow dial-up. Really.
2. Sister visiting from Chicago for the holidays.
3. Two families to visit instead of one.
4. Family harassing about not spending enough time with said family.
5. Shopping for 10+ people to be done in the space of 3 days.
6. Seriously, this connection is way too slow.
7. Computer not available due to family members previous reservation/occupation of computer room.
8. Did I mention the slow internet here?
9. Catching up with friends over break, having barely spoken during the semester.
10. Newfound addiction to things other than being online.
11. Now dividing time online between several different email accounts and blogs. Damn myspace.
12. Distracted by shiny stuff.
13. Sole holiday decorator in household.
14. Fingers injured in tragic Christmas tree accident- attempts to type with teeth unsuccessful.
15. Not enough time to check other blogs, thus resulting in lower motivation and creativity in mine.

Hope Christmas is treating you all well, and hopefully I'll be up and running online sometime soon!

Come the Revolution...

We will have no tyrannical authorities (?) to assign us ridiculous reading and writing topics! We will have freedom and equality! And we will have these as pets!

Only a couple more hours until Christmas break!!!

Overstimulation

yep.

Does anybody want to write a paper for me?

It's almost to the point where things like this make sense to me.

The Dreaded MAC/Grateful Dead Complex

Well, Metaphysics turned out alright I guess. Still have 4 more papers and 5 more finals to study for, Advent Angels and a few more 3-hour-long choir practices before I'm done for the semester.
Funny, the workload seems to continue even after classes are finished. How riddikulus.

As a side note, the roommate has finally snapped, Cor is showing signs of meth abuse, Angie is probably considering finding a hired assassin, and Creative Juices are in high demand and low supply all across the board.

Who's ready for Christmas break ?

Feddie-physics

Well, it's paper-writing time again. No sleep for this little lamb, got a 10-pager due in about 8 1/2 hours, and am desperately hoping for a case of logorrhea. Being qua being, here I come!

More as the insanity develops!

Too Close For Comfort...

It came to my attention today that as a human race, we have some dangerously similar sounding phrases with disturbingly different meanings. A couple of my favorites?

Extramental Existence / Excremental Existence

Erschiessungstode / Erscheissungstode

Have you ever noticed (much in the way that Eskimos have extensive vocabulary for snow) we have way too many words for poop? Feces.. fecal matter.. poo.. sh*t.. and many more.

So my point is, this is the latest and greatest Dr. Fedoryka Quote of the Day:
"My love is like a brown, brown cow pie."

If Hannibal Lector Were A Book, Which Would He Be?

How To Win Friends and Influence People.

Half a Post

I want one.

Can't Improve On Something Perfect...

Reading through this one, I realized that it can't possibly match up to the one before. But then again, that's what happens when you try to be funny while you're coming down off a caffeine high at 7 am. Many improvements to follow, don't worry-

Captain's Log, Stardate: 1 Dec. 2005

Would have updated on 30 Nov., but as the official changeover occurs promptly at 6 a.m., this blog missed its deadline.

Stress levels continue, although no exponential increase has been observed. Caffeine withdrawal symptoms, while brief, have been temporarily alleviated by the presence of non-intravenous energy inducements.

A. Grutter has once again been observed maintaining abnormal sleep patterns, although one suspects given her apparent lack of deprivation signs, she has been compensating for nocturnal activity through diurnal somnolence.

Beginning to fear for my own ability to cope with conditions. Must be monitored closely for safety and sanity. Must maintain insomnia until mission is completed....

Not An Enema?( ! )

Ewey. (for all of you concerned readers, no this post is not about enemas- I stole the title from the ever-so-ingenious mix CD I listened to while writing this.)

Captain's Log, Stardate: Nov. 29, 2005
Second day of late-night paper writing sessions this week. Hope to continue the pace through Friday, when the assignments will decrease in volume and pressure. Morale is somewhat low amongst the others in the lab. Must remember to monitor A. Grutter for signs of fatigue and/or derangement. T. Ferrant demonstrates high degree of stability under these conditions.

Resources are running low- it will soon be necessary to find other sources of caffeine, if carbonated beverages are not replenished.

Sporadic activity on the preferred instant messaging system has been observed, results inconclusive.

More as the study progresses.

Consider It a Lesson Well Learned...

I think being at Ave (more than anything else) has taught me that some people like to shove a stick up their ass to make up for the spine they don't have. To be perfectly honest, I do love it here, and I hold the education I've received as invaluable; I frankly am not even particularly misanthropic where the college is concerned right now. (Although I will be the first to admit a certain degree of ambivalence at times). But it has recently come to my attention that two of the problems here most worthy of reprimand are [1] that certain members of the community have difficulty relating to others in an appropriate manner, respecting the gift of the human person and remaining charitably considerate of this relationship, and [2] that many of the students (although not necessarily through any fault of their own) severely lack the confidence to see the truth for themselves and stand up for it in the face of opposition.

As a great and worthy philosopher once said, "Cowboy up and grow some balls."

That being said, I'm discouragingly busy this week, with a massive number of pages to write (and even research before the writing can begin). It is this time of year which frequently begs the question, "Can I be done yet?"

Which I suppose does little except motivate me to procrastinate by pursuing happiness for myself and others until I have no other choice but to finish the assignment and pray that by the time I have to turn it in, I've at least been writing in a consistent language the entire time. If we're lucky, I'll be able to to this by the end of the week.

I'm a Terrible Friend

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now get the crap off my arm.

Where Is Your God Now?

Take that, Corie.

Behold, the power of Bruce Campbell's Chin. This is my boomstick.
