Ok, just got back from Greece, must sleep!

Greece in 60 seconds or less:

1. Old Shit!
2. More Old Shit!
3. Random Headless Statues everywhere (see also 1 & 2 for more info on statues)
4. Things that look like words but have strange symbols in them… like math equations!
5. Dogs everywhere, even sleeping at the Acropolis!
6. Rules of driving:
   1. control lines are just general guidelines.
   2. stop signs are suggestions.
   3. stop lights are for decoration and can be ignored.
   4. Offense, Offense, Offense…

Must sleep now, will write more latter…

[The internet] is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea—massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.

Well I turned in my abortion [confusion.cc] essay today, which means I am done with school till exams in January! Take a look at it and tell me what you think, I am not satisfied with it. I also managed to get a 5 day europass (train ticket) and a Eurostar reservation for the 21st so I can head off to Denmark to celebrate Christmas Danish style (whatever that means, I really don’t care as long as it is fun and I get to spend Christmas with C██████.) As for the mean time I am jaunting off to Greece for a week to see my friends. (God! I’ve always wanted to say something like that! I love the fact that Europe is so damn small!) Anyway, I have no idea how many more post there will be to my journal between now and second term in January. So I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, hope you have a great (insert PC holiday name here) this year. I will be thinking about all of you. Here’s to hopping New Years finds you drunk and participating in some form of debauchery that is new to you!

Love,

The good: Updated confusion, tell me what you think…
The bad: Still have not finished my Abortion essay…
The Ugly: I’m sick…

Step right up and try the new Rave-o-matic toilet! Complete with variable speed strobe light!

I have recently become aware that going to the bathroom in my dorms has become a surreal experience. The fluorescent light seams to have developed turrette’s syndrome—it cannot stop flashing. Now when it was just a little bit of a dimming effect that was one thing, but as it has now lost it completely and blinks on and off with a disturbing irregularity it has become increasingly hard to aim. I experiance the classic club problem of depth-perception-gone-haywire and tripped out things-that-are-standing-still-look-like-they-are-moving-syndrome every time I go into the bathroom. This has made taking care of bodily needs numbers one and two a real chore as I have to go down to another floor to perform said acts! I don’t think I am asking much when I ask for a consistent source of light while I am in the bathroom, am I? Even at the worst raves I have been to the strobe lights where not in the bathrooms. I mean they could at least install some nice Bose 901 speakers and a couple of BIG amplifiers so I can blast the techno while I…. um yea… well… I have to go to bed now…
