I snagged this template from a small design site, probably operated out of some guy's basement/bedroom. The image suits my usual mood. Later I might attempt to read codes for linking to other people's blogs through points on the graphic, but current patience and time lacking, that particular project will wait for a rainy day (of which Lubbock has experienced many recently).
Conducting research for the latest art appreciation journal assignment proved tedious. I had to write about the Our Lady of the Rockies monument located outside Butte, Montana and the Cadillac Ranch situated near Amarillo. Both are drive-by "road meccas" to which I would never pilgrimage. Visiting them would be anticlimatic.
I anticipate the logic class more warmly now that I have a snob buddy (his name is "Matt"). Matt and I discuss the forces that impel us to attend logic daily, though we are both quite aware we could play hooky and not miss anything consequential. The professor moves the class very slowly, to the point that I preoccupy myself by tapping the lid on my ever-present bottle of Diet Coke with Lime or create stick-figure illustrations for the arguments in my lecture notes. For instance, today I illustrated the following argument:
If Adam goes to the party, then Betty goes to the party.Below the notes I drew Betty in stick form, with Adam and Carl on either side in poses that I shall only describe as "predatory".
If Betty goes to the party, then Carl goes to the party.
Adam goes to the party.
Therefore, Carl goes to the party.
