I'm sorry.

Here you go folks, another game to take up hours of your time.

ICGYABL, Raymond, and I have wasted many an hour on "Clockwords Prelude" today. It's a typing game.

ICGYABL is the master, currently at level 29 and climbing. I couldn't make it past level 21.

Let me know how you do.

The Odicy

THEODICY is the branch of theology that tries to explain the existence of evil in the world; it is concerned primarily with rationalizing the apparently unjust behaviour of a definitionally just God.

THE ODYSSEY is the story of an impeccably moral man who just wants to go home to the arms of his wife after 10 years of war and runs into no end of trouble in the attempt; it is, in other words, a recognition of the reality of evil in the world.

I'd like to see a work of literature that recognizes this clever pun.

Dear God I Wish I This Was Me (But Not Really), Or: The World is a Crazy Place

Hay Gurrrrlll

for gods sake


what with the return of midterms and all, comes with it the return of one of student-kind's worst curses: procrastination.

I'm in full swing, and it sucks. i'm working somewhat efficiently, don't get me wrong, but i am still wasting so much time.

see this? like a 75-word post, just so i can wait for californication to load.

Fuck.

oh, and in case anyone forgot, Milton: really damn good writer.

Fun Administrative Games to Play at McGill University (part one‽)

Minerva ---> Personal Menu ---> Name Change ---> Preferred First Name

Minerva allows students to input a "preferred first name". It won't appear on your transcript, but it WILL appear on your professor's list of students, right under a lovely picture of yo' face.

It looks like this:


Weasel
Bag
(Young Weezy)

Thanks to the lovely bracketing, the system allows us students to tell the professor something about ourselves before they meet us. For example...

..........
Uncleaddaspdasdasppa.ckkKevinaddadaspdasddpekkManfred von
Samaddadaspddaspaspek kSmithaddasdaspdasddpkkRichthofen
(wants you)sdaspddaspas.. (filmmaker)sdaspdasddpe(red baron)
dasp
or...

..........

Doeaddaspdaspdasac ekk...Smithaddadasps pacdek.Jones
(asshole)addaspdapd aspa.(genius)adddasp aspadce(love machine)

Give it a try. I dare you.

Bonus points if you change your name.

Canadian Content

I'm enrolled in Canadian Art to 1914, and have been blown away. It's been my first class with all Canadian content... I encourage you all to take at least one Canadian-centric course before graduating. I've found the perspective it offers is so unique and obscure, despite mcGill being a canadian school.
Check out this particularily interesting painting by paul kane

and enjoy!
