2:50am - T minus 5 hours and 10 minutes
December 05, 2001 by Eric Richardson
I haven't really felt like writing, so I've been doing laundry and studying for my nature of scientific inquiry midterm/final tomorrow. Quantum mechanics, uncertainty, chaos theory, etc. It shouldn't be that hard.
As for the essay, I've got a page and a half that I like. It'll be done. I'm not worried about that at all.
I am now a nocturnal being. The last five nights I've gone to bed at 4:30, 4:30, 4, 4:45, and 5. Tonight will be no exception.
night three
December 05, 2001 by Eric Richardson
I finished my essay at about five this morning. It wasn't that it really took me that long to write, it was more that I was just never in a hurry to get it done. I thought it came out pretty well; it's in the verbal intercourse section as Individualism as Differing from the Norm. As you can see, I'm not good at titles.
Tonight I finish up some work on a paper for Liberal Political Theory and study for my last midterm (which might as well be a final) tomorrow in Nature of Scientific Inquiry. Not a huge night, but still a good load in front of me.
11:50pm -- T minus 9 hours and 10 minutes

I think a shower would help me feel better about being up, so I'm off to take one. It's 11:50pm, and I'm done reading, have a thesis, and am starting to go through the book looking for support. At this point I feel good about how things are going.
christmas cheer
December 04, 2001 by Eric Richardson
Over the past few weeks I've noticed a steady stream of people searching google for "christmas cheer" or "christmas thoughts" and finding my thoughts piece entitled christmas cheer. To these people I apologize. I can only imagine how the depressing lament they click and discover is in no way what they hoped or intended to find. To them I can only say, read on. It gets better. It all comes out ok in the end; you'll see already...
mogwai - r u still in 2 it
December 04, 2001 by Eric Richardson
Mogwai is what I listen to when I need music that just flows. Mogwai doesn't really have vocals so much as the human voice is merely another instrument they use at will. r u still in 2 it is actually one of their few songs to buck this trend; the haunting vocals are understated, yet powerful and central to the piece.
