Mmmmhmm. So, I'm here. Almost bedtime for me, I suppose, although I took a two hour nap today. I have my classes all ready for Thursday when I get to sign up... Finite Math (not Troll and his wife), German 314, Humanities (again), Chaucer with Benson, and Playwriting as my overload. I'm gonna get Dan to sign the form on Wednesday so I can somehow sneak the 5 classes past the registrar and not have to go back in again to get myself into a class that I'm guaranteed to have...
What else?
Lysistrata begins on Thursday. It will be a wonderful display of debaucherous mayhem. Hey, it's Sewanee! However, my parents are coming to visit, so I will be taking them to see the Manhattan Chamber Music group that's performing for free in Guerry on Friday. My mom is getting gung-ho about it already. She's listened to the group (Lincoln Center) online and says they're great. Weeee!
Mountain Top is on Saturday. I'm still contemplating whether or not I want to go. If I go, I will have a date... that's the thing, however. Must decide whether or not I want a date.
The asexual life is working out wonderfully lately. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Handel's "Messiah" is actually a wonderful piece, even though it's two hours long and we have to write a paper about it. Ultimately, papers take the joy out of anything beautiful, but I think it will only momentarily smudge the greatness of Handel's masterpiece.
In other news, thanks to mikoneyoru's post in which Anticipation was a screenshot, I downloaded about 30 or so old-ass Nintendo games, including Anticipation, which, I must say, is, in fact, as hard as I remember it to be on the "very hard" level. This is mainly due to the fact that the computer cheats completely in order to force the game to be "hard." I downloaded Ultima: Exodus as well, a REALLY SHITTY game that I had fun with back in the day, though never did anything with. Now I know why! Ducktales, I thought, was good at the time, but now it's crap. Adventure Island is also not so good... it's amazing how damn badly put-together these games are. I'm just glad Chrono Trigger has lost none of its luster over the many years it has been in my possession, aside from the fact that my SNES wharfed on itself and erased all of my saves for the game about a month ago... but CT has the best replay value of any game I've ever played, so I'm enjoying my loss.
Latvia was an evening of absolute grain-punch bliss. I was Maleficent minus the horns, because the horns were gay... Sarah and Mr. Charles were present. Oh yes, rockin' good times. The freshman that I talked to for three hours the night before also made an appearance and talked with my friend Sara while I stepped out to Courts to have a cig with my friend Adam. It was funny as anything. Some guy named Isaac was tapping people with his "magical" fairy wand type of thing, and I actually saw the guy today, blowing leaves off of the sidewalk. When he said he worked here, he wasn't kidding. It was a little odd.
So yeah. My parents come up on Friday. I'm excited as fuck. I miss them. :(
Here's to it.
