Month: March 2007

This week, when I've still been feeling run down, and trying madly to a) feel more healthy b) finish papers for class and c) balance it all somehow (among other things) the following were musings I wanted to post in my LJ but didn't have the time in front of the computer to do so… Continue reading Buying books and other moments

So I think I may as well let you all know that I'm doing a poetry reading on March 29th, it being only just over a week away and all.

You see, I have this odd tendancy to read a LOT of a new blog whenever I find… Continue reading Still wasting time online… and not starting the first draft of the paper I need to have finished
