Month: December 2006

So, I’ve been staring at this thing all night. And honestly, I just don’t get it.

Yet even though it’s becoming more and more likely that my skepticism is erroneously directed as more and more seemingly credible rumors surface, I still need to express the following: Really people, an iPhone!? It’s not gonna happen.

Thank you. I feel much better now.

(Yep, I’ve been M.I.A. for over a week, the semester is done, and there’s so much to share… but here I am, coming back to the blog with an iPhone post. I don’t know how/why you put up with me.)

It’s mind-boggling that even now, during finals week, I am still answering questions in the library like, “Umm… how do I take out a book?” IT’S THE END OF THE SEMESTER! You are just now trying to figure out how to take out a book!?

But anyway, yes, it is the end of the semester. Day two of finals week, to be precise. Two classes down, one to go! And as of this Saturday at 1 p.m., I’ll be a free man! Free to blog (semi) regularly again. Free to post the kind of drivel that we’ve all come to expect around here. Oh, you know the kind: mindless.

Remember the Review Me thing? I just got my $30 check in the mail today.

Well, I’ll be… who would have thought that this would turn out to be a legitimate service?

(I’ll be really sad when the check bounces)

The end of the semester is officially upon us. And thus begins the sacred ritual of academic hibernation.

Every year (okay… so really just last year) I make the pilgrimage across campus to descend the twisted, torch-lit, stairs which lead to the catacombs of the Quinnipiac Law Library. There I join the other wrecked/studious souls who have found solace amidst the tomes of this dank underground dungeon. Living among the mole-people, I stay for about two weeks, until all of my final projects and papers and presentations are complete. And then, like a magnificent butterfly unfolding triumphantly from within a dull cocoon, I emerge… except my emergence is not very triumphant at all. And I’m far from magnificent. In fact, I’ll pretty much be looking like a walking corpse.

But until then my dear readers, I bid you a fond farewell. May you be comforted by the following slideshow of my Thanksgiving backpacking adventure in Red River Gorge, that I am including in this post for two reasons:

Reason the first: Everyone, without exception, loves slideshows of vacation photography.

Reason the next: I really just wanted to try out this embedded flickr slideshow thingy (that I clumsily retrofitted to work here).
