Growth not unlike a fungal infection
So in the Anime club, we’ve been watching a series called “Last Exile“. I don’t know quite how to characterize it except to say that it’s very… Germanic. Many the characters are little blond-haired, blue eyed folks; the main character’s name is Claus; and–this may sound like an odd association–but a lot of the colors are beiges or military-bland greens and blues and greys. One of WO’s roommates described it as Napoleonic, which may also be accurate due to the steam-based tech. For the first couple weeks (7 or so episodes), I couldn’t stand the show. It seemed pretty focused on just two kids on their vanship (flying boat) running…

NaNoWriMo, once again!
NaNoWriMo has opened for registration for this season, and I’ve already reopened my account from last year. This year will be harder for me than last year; last year I had the entire week of Thanksgiving to pound out 20k words, but this year I will be forced to more evenly distribute the writing throughout the month, since I don’t want to sequester myself once I get to Phoenix. Problem is, the first three weeks of November are the last three weeks of the academic term, which means projects will be wrapping up, last exams and finals will be failed taken, etc. I didn’t touch my story last year until…

Bad vehicular luck overall
I just got hit by a car as I was biking home from campus. An SUV. Luckily, they weren’t going at full speed, and I was back up almost before they were out of the car.

I’m not quite coherent yet, so I’mma go lie down and scream for a minute until this all passes.

Hot chicks with hairy nips
…Don’t ask. Really. Thorn night was wild, and I think my News Editor is certifiably insane. It feels like it’s been a minute since I spouted anything here. First, a bit of linkage. From Eros Blog are two Andrea Dworkin-esque pieces of writing that I found thought-provoking: “The Power of Thought” (the Beaver is against fantasies) and “Expectation, another tip of the sword” (on why women fake orgasms). Yeah, so there’s that. I’ve been listening to Dublab quite a bit recently due to its calming and refocusing effect on me, and one of the DJ’s sets (Take’s current “Latest Dish Mix”) is completely rocking my world. I even went geek…
