It Took Forever to post!!!


Current Background
(Tiled)(109x144)


This frightening picture is from a webcomic I was introduced to just the other day.
It's called El Goonish Shive. Very intersesting. People transforming into other people and animal-people. Very confusing. It is currnetly also my avatar on the only forum I troll around with any frequency (Unofficial LU Forums). Don't assume that the comic is scary or demonic, that is just one panel.

I started this post a few hours ago and have been up and around doing various trivial things to keep my mind off the finals I have forthcoming. Calculus II is today (Monday) at 9:45AM.

I need to go study Chapter 10

Bye

In universities at least as much as anywhere else, vast
floods of words pour forth to no useful end. Nothing would
be lost if they had died aborning.

sight of why they exist?" [1]Reason, May 2001

In "Base-Ball: How to Become a Player" he expounds on the
importance of the sport's vital edges: pickoffs, relay
throws, brushback pitches, drawing the infield in or moving
it out, hit-and-run plays, signals -- all commonplace
today, but in 1888 only aborning.
--Bryan Di Salvatore, [2]A Clever Base-Ballist

Nine months later, ABC Washington bureau chief George
Watson left to join the aborning Cable News Network, taking
several staffers with him.
