Death comes for us all (a melodramatic haiku of retirement)
Alas! this blog is
no longer where it is at.
Onwards! (Back to home.)



guts and garters

It's all fun and games until someone loses molecular cohesion.

Now that I'm back at university, I can resume my usual habit. It goes like this: Tune out for first ten minutes of lecture while he burbles about what was on TV last night. Listen to first fifteen minutes of actual lecture assiduously. Take good notes. Start getting bored. Take sporadic notes. Mainly note down things that sound interesting.

And then, come home and tell the world those interesting things via this wonderful medium of bloginess. That word looks like it should have two G's.

Today's point of note: After the death of an ancient Chinese emperor, the characters used in his personal name could not be used in any other form of writing. To get around this impediment, a word of the same pronunciation was used instead.

Well, I found it interesting, anyway.
