"The day is dark, and cold, and dreary...." Yes I still remember that poem and can probably recite it, in a moment of geek-induced literacy. The main point here being that it has rained for the first time here at Davis. Perhaps rain is an overstatement...it's more of a refined drizzle that made my bike all drippy when I got out of math. Good thing I had a small towel-rag thing with me. Plant bio lab this afternoon, think we're grafting grapes. If lucky will be inside, if not...well...I have just enough time for shower AND dinner before my next class, aren't I lucky?
Meanwhile, have subscribed to the free-online-NY Times ...subscription? (Redundancy department of redundancy, aye) Have found this headline in the newspaper this morning: "Wal-Mart Memo Suggests Ways to Cut Employee Benefit Costs", and am now imagining the mental stability of students under a certain anti-Wal-Mart history teacher when he hears of the news. Not that he usually needs a reason to rant, but this can induce such a bout Going-Off-Topic that lesson plans might need ...well...to go on a temporary hike? Then there's the article called "Legalized Torture, Reloaded" which left me...speechless, I think, would be the closest description.
Otherwise news have been utterly depressing, especially after another hundred-page or so reading about the end of the world. Counter-balancing that I have finished reading the shoe-box project and yes, it's a wonderful showcase of writing, though I'm still not sure that I entirely approve of interpreting relationships, heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise into the story when it wasn't there but hey, this is fanfiction so I'll just file it away there. Very good writing though. Feels slightly disillusioned about Moony at the end but, agreeing with Lucy, it was definitely a happy ending.
Chocolate has been ruined for me though, for however long it might be. Heh.
Insert: Kate, I highly suggest de-caf tea.

Ah, I haven't read it for a while (like, a whole day ;P), too much other stuff. *sad* Chocolate's ruined for you? Interesting. The christmas scene with chocolate was great, otherwise I guess I don't know yet.
Blah, gonna go read about geology now.
