Vrei sa pleci dar numa numa iei
Numa numa iei
numa numa numa iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Miamintesc de ochii tai

While we're sharing the professor-love,

Surreal experience today; when I dragged myself to literature section this morning it turned out that the CIA had taken over our classroom!

They were holding some sort of job info session inside; there was a large crowd of people there and we - Alex, myself, and most of our class - were waiting out in the hall. They'd written on the blackboard:
"www.cia.gov"
and a phone number underneath.

When our professor came he asked what was the matter, went inside and kicked them all out.

Our Lit professor is so awesome.

On the subject of love:

"I have a demon in my house--you know the kind of demon that breaks things, clogs the sink, makes the toilet not work...Do you know how to get rid of a demon? You get rid of a demon with a thing I call 'chubby love.' Can any of you guess what 'chubby love' is?" "You get 'chubby love' when you have a great aunt with bright red lipstick who gives you smoochy kisses and everything else of the sort...demons hate that. Of course, you have to find the demon first..."

Taken verbatim from my math notes today...I love my math professor.
Much love--chubby and otherwise--to you all.

Happy Valentines homes... hope the tasp love is carrying through the internet in hi-fi fashion.
hahaha yayy adrian. Yesterday my friends t-shirt was rolled up in the shape of a cephalopod and I thought of you.

news over here: job at the federal plant soil and nutrition lab- fun research of science & swallowing complexities but in the end i'll work all summer in days and days of traditional heat and warm yellow corn simples. this is happy babbling- i'm staying in Ithaca over summer, subletting an apartment with 3 other friends to be warm on a happy abandoned campus.
Boss said i'll have time off at the start, june-ish, and my sister will lend me her car.... road trip??

must do math.

happy Valentine's!!!!

Labor quote!

"Yeah, in several of [my a capella group's] acts we drop our pants. So if you want to see my junk you should come to Mory's."

- Adrian LeCesne at the Berkeley College Orchestra concert, against the deathly silence of an orchestra that had just finished tuning.

Let it be known that I, upon seeing Alex in a production of Equus, am starting my own religion with Alex Borinsky as my god.

Come visit New Haven and then you can join the cult.

Dear Harold Bloom was supposed to lecture on Lear yesterday (Monday; whatever) and he backed out in the last minute due to health reasons. I testify that I saw him the Thursday before and he looked well and alive.

Alex's and my Lit professor (we're in the same Literature section!) said he'd have liked to take Shakespeare out of the Western Canon course curriculum because that was the one author he knew we've all read before and will read again. Irony - especially as it makes a lot of sense.

I demand pictures of Alex Y with muttonchops.


To Eunice, Adam, and now Bryan as well: Xin nian kuai le!
