Palahniuk & Chocolate: Funeral Blues by W.H. Auden →
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my...

palahniukandchocolate: Part I of Anderson Cooper’s week-long story on allegations of physical abuse in the Church of Scientology. It goes without saying that the CoS has a history of harrassing those who dare to publicly criticize them. I hope Anderson and his staff stay safe throughout their investigation.

Grandmother Stories :) →
morningelegance: Well, the article is actually about the sex life of Grace Kelly.  Shortly.  And it leads the writer of the article to examine the sex lives of our older female relatives.  I don’t know much about my grandmother’s life in that sense, since I wouldn’t ask, but that’s just me. But my maternal grandmother is amazing.  Her name is Honor, which is a cool name anyway.  She studied...

morningelegance: Bad Thing: I forgot to take a quiz for KINES.  (So I lost points.) Good Thing: I can still get an 85% as a total quiz grade.  (It’s only one grading component.) Hooray! Happy Monday… Bad Thing: I overslept, and therefore missed Medical Anthropology. Since this made me feel crappy, I skipped Philosophy which takes place directly after Anth. Then I went to lunch to try to...

I guess all majors have some type of stereotype associated with them, but English seems wildly pretentious. Possibly it’s being surrounded by students accustomed to using large vocabularies and being familiar with great authors like Aristotle and Shakespeare. However, I find it difficult to… The English major does seem pretentious. I go to a school that offers the only MFA in Shakespeare...
