1. One of the students who I advised, the one whose work I thought needed a pile of edits to save me from embarrassment, just mailed to say he got an A. Major side eye to history department of the supposedly best school in the country. Even post-edits, no way would this have gotten an A at my school, not back then at least.

    Take deep breaths and think of good karma, I guess.

Today marks a very important day! It’s not just the 20th of May 2013, it’s also the day I unleash my first extended release into the world: The Atlantis Experiment EP. You can by it by clicking here, or on the picture above. I’ve already had a generous amount of pre-orders and purchases and I’m just totally overwhelmed by how it’s gone.
I thank you, each and every one of you stunning goddesses, from the bottom of my brain.

  3. flatness is a virtue

    Checking everywhere I need to be on Thursday morning so I can get there half-asleep: “oh, this route looks convenient”, checks street view, “…a shortcut OVER A FUCKING MOUNTAIN, WHY.”

     
  4. Terrified due to the amount of work I need to get done in 3 days. Related: Hyena, I love you, but you need to shut up.

    Before he takes us on what promises to be a lush adventure in avant-pop with his debut EP, The Atlantis Experiment, to be released on May 20th (i.e. today!), UK-based singer-songwriter Apollo was kind enough to discuss a number of relevant matters in perfectly business-like manner. Should note that I’m not at all principally opposed to fluff like observations on appearances and silly trivia, but this was conducted via e-mail and got quite long, AND rest assured, turned out entertaining enough as it was. Hair routines, etc., can perhaps be elaborated on at another time. Also, there are plenty of links included for anyone keen on finding out more. Enjoy.

  8. why wouldn’t it go away though?

    Hyena says:
       Energy drinks are my drug of choice
       The worst thing about them is that they keep you awake even when  your body is ready to go into comatose
       Like giving viagra to a corpse
    ninja says:
       6 feet under taught me corpses have boners.
    Hyena says:
       They can have. It’s especially common for those who died by hanging
       Old folklore says that the sperm coming from a corpse is the seed that makes… Some kind of flower, I can’t remember its name
    ninja says:
       Why wouldn’t it go away though?
       No circulation?
    Hyena says:
       I guess so.
       Shall we find a victim and find out?

     
  9. The timing of this conference couldn’t be any more fantastic. I’m currently feeling bloated as all hell, even my eyelids are puffy, and I’m growing a giant hormonal zit on my chin (not picking at it though because willpower). Feeling faint and popping ibuprofen all day long is hardly going to be optimal for networking purposes. Plus the plane leaves so early and my sleep schedule is so fucked that I’ll essentially be operating on no sleep for the first day. My panel is on the second day, so there’s that to be grateful for, however, 3 people on the panel, and one of them is amazing and brilliant and cool (the other, I think, is so-so, but who knows), so I need a decent presentation.

    And no simple carbs and no salt for me this week.
