Thought Experiment

A friend of mine’s gmail status reads: what would you do, if you knew you could not fail It lacks a question mark, but I assume it’s soliciting an answer, so here’s mine. Feel free to leave you own in the comments. I’d drop out of med school, start a rock band in which I’d [...]

Exclamation Marks, “Novel” & An Admission

Posted on January 26, 2009 - Filed Under Animals, Blogging, College, Language, Life-In-General | Leave a Comment

This post contains a whole lot of misdirected aggression, but I really fucking hate it when people abuse exclamation marks. Here’s a prime example from a student email: Please be advised that Dr Lucy James requested that the Signpost session on Friday 30th January is from 09.30 – 10.00! Kindly amend this in your timetable, [...]

Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic rallies to the defence of “Christmas” (as apposed to “Holidays”): Well, this Jew objects. I mean, for Christ’s sake, it’s Christmas. Can’t we call a thing by its name? Hannukah is a minor holiday of a minority religion. New Year’s Day is merely a day on the calendar. It’s a [...]

Every night I lie in bed And tell myself that tomorrow will be different, That I’ll be better suited to my life, That I’ll get stuff done, And that all this won’t seem like such a dreadful error.

I’m sooooooooooo drunk right now, but here goes some blogging. I really, really, really ought to just drink in the morning. Honestly. I’m so much more at ease after having a few. And I’m so much happier too. And besides, who wants to live past 60 anyway… Also, why the hell am I so paranoid [...]

I should not listen to other people’s advice; it leads to regrets. Or rather, in the circumstances alluded to it did. Also, I desperately want to be more like will henceforth be more like Raskolnikov. Also, I am going to fail all my Christmas exams unless I get my shit together in a big way. [...]

Alcohol and I

Posted on October 14, 2008 - Filed Under College, Life-In-General | 1 Comment

Nothing has driven home the fact that I have a problem with alcohol quite like video evidence of actions that my memory had blacked-out. Just to clarify right out the gate, I’m certainly not an alcoholic, and I’m certainly not dependent on alcohol. However, I am far too prone to getting seriously drunk when I [...]

Proceeding by Indirection to Nowhere

Blogging while drunk is generally/always a very bad idea, but here goes it anyhow. There’s this girl in my class that I really like, but I can’t seem to hit off a proper conversation with her. I’m kind of shy anyway, so inevitably I’m already after having a few on each occasion that I’ve actually [...]

Megan McArdle on Veganism

Posted on August 1, 2008 - Filed Under Animals, Life-In-General | 2 Comments

One of the Atlantic blogging team explains why she blogs about her vegan diet from time to time, and how being a vegan or a vegetarian does not automatically mean that you hate meat-eaters: Is it possible to be a vegan without judging other people? It had better be, because I just don’t have time [...]

Apologies for posting yet another YouTube video, but I just finished watching this and it definitely deserves a mention. Sometime when you’re online and have an hour or so to spare, look up this video on YouTube (or watch it here). It’s a lecture about achieving childhood dreams delivered by a professor with terminal cancer. [...]
