Nicely does it

So I'm not going to my seminar today, primarily because I've spent more of my week writing shite all over this and my arms and thighs in a trance than reading Colston Whitehead's John Henry Days. Oh well...

It's a shame because I really like Fagg, my tutor. Such a babette. But I am genuinely in pain and don't dare venutre through the rain in such cranial torment... Like me explanation??


I'm unfortunately not going to be able to attend the seminar at noon due to what has now turned into an almost week long migraine. despite fleeting moments of clarity, i feel like my head has been locked in a rattling cage for days, being beaten my some toddler with a club, mercilessly.
i hope that you'll forgive me for not having been able to complete colston whitehead, and for missing the seminar. Really sorry, i'd been really looking forward to it, but as i got out of the shower i was overwhelmed with a powerful level of physical weakness and blindness, so don't think it's a good idea to venture across campus.

Like my style?

Name one thing you could make. Could you make a simple wooden match that you could strike on a rock to make a flame? We think we're so great and modern. Moon landings, artificial hearts. But what if you were hurled into a time warp and came face to face with the ancient Greeks. The Greeks invented trigonometry. The did autopsies and dissections. What could you tell an ancient Greek that he couldn't say, 'Big deal.' Could you tell him about the atom? Atom is a Greek word. The Greeks knew that the major events in the universe can't be seen by the eye of a man.

She put an arm behind her, unlatched the door, turned quickly and went running into the gray afternoon. I tried to think of something funny to say.

California deserves whatever it gets. Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom.
