What do you assign to Orthanc? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Reaching a conclusion for my literary criticism ii paper... which says that with a certain bestseller young adult short story collection published by our University Press interpellates kids (mostly our univ students) that militants, politically active kids, and kids whose sexual preferences are not strictly heterosexual are to be ignored and are basically an insignificant lot... even though in our college, for example, there is a dearth of straight guys and militants and rallies and demonstrations are part of our lives. Incidentally, the author of the collection is a graduate of our creative writing program.

And my teacher for that subject is a big name in the university press.

Yes I understand the principles of how it works, but personally I hate using it because it hardly ever gives the words I'm looking for

A job offer (finally)...

...that doesn't start until August.

Getting sick with a mild strain of H1N1... a ten-day vacation that gave me an imperative to clean my room (which it needs badly), spray Lysol all over, and rethink my life, as well as a bit of fever and cough and colds. On the other hand, I miss classes and opportunities to hit our library for my thesis.

Absent-mindedly noticing the next WW game has started, and--yet again--you're not playing... which is sad, because you miss WW, but is actually awesome, because you realise that, for the first summer in recorded history, you actually wouldn't have time.

Or, to phrase it in a less Downs-centric manner: having a summer social life should be assigned to Orthanc.
