Wikipedia, Spam, and Schembri
Wikipedia is my favourite place on the internet, I am not going to lie. And I love a great deal of the internet. I spent this morning looking up things like “chthonic” and “catasterism” and “Corbridge” and “common cold”. It is the world at my fingertips, if anything is. Tuatara are small, under-evolved reptiles that have three eyes! One of the composition professors at Laurier has a Wikipedia page!
Good times on the whirled wide webb.
I’ve also been attempting to be canny about navigating certain blog archives which can only be accessed through searching terms… “Iceland” has so far returned the most results. I shan’t hint further at the blog.

Mu reads blogs and has a Twitter.
Reading Week is sadly over, friends. I wish I’d done more, but there it is. I did write that tuba piece I was telling you about. Mostly. It is all right! I’ve set it up so that the tuba is Atlas, telling the audience about his daughters, the Pleiades. The movements are subtitled with their names and something about them. Yes, it is rather like the Metamorphoses in the this respect. NO APOLOGIES. People need to write more for the great old Tube.
The spam I get in the comments for this site is *hilarious*, and sometimes oddly poetic, and I suspect there is a high probability of me starting to pull out piece titles from its uncharted depths.
I finally got “Watchmen,” but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I am excited about it, though! Barack Obama went to Ottawa (apparently it was Crazy Times)! I got a receipt for this year’s rent in the mail, but *still* no official notice that this place is going to be torn down, so by the way, you can’t live there anymore, and your four-year lease that the jerk who rented it to you insisted upon is nil and void.
Is it wrong to hate how large housing corporations jerk around student renters?
