Oct. 7th, 2006 10:43 pmAh, how I wish
that I could feel
. . . . . as I will later
as winter's captive!
It seems
. . . . . too chilly, now -
this first wind
. . . . . of autumn.

Hello whiskeyriver.blogspot.com! My feeder box for literary fixations. The fact that the blog is clearly a fan of Nabokov is just an added plus. :)
And in line with my blog/web pimpin', here's Killing The Buddha, which according to them, is for people like us who are made anxious by churches. While calling their articles "tongue-in-cheek" doesn't quite cut it, I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer quirkiness of the concept. I quite enjoy "The Happiness of Alligators" because I'm quite partial to the fourth paragraph that reminds me of Blake. Yeah, only connections that I can see. Breaking Up with Jesus cracks me up before sending me into a quiet revel, and hello freedom of speech!
Next up, we have Poetry Daily. It's mainly for contemporary poetry, rather than your bookshelf classics.
And with their motto as "Veritas odit moras", you just know that Arts & Letters Daily will fill your brain up with nice little nuggets (and not so small morsels) of intellectual debate and discussion. Which are essentially the same thing by the way ;p
". . . as I have said often enough, I write for myself in multiplicate,
a not unfamiliar phenomenon on the horizon of shimmering deserts."
- Vladimir Nabokov
I write for myself. Ah yes. Why am I so utterly concerned with what other people think of my writings? LALALA. I WAS SUPPOSED TO WRITE SOMETHING DEEP AND IMPRESSIVE BUT MY MUSE HAS LEFT THE HOUSE AND IS NOT COMING BACK. I RETIRE FOR NOW.
AUGH I HATE THE ACT OF STUDYING. I have one history paper, one SBQ, 71398273021 MCQs, 72193870127390217836012 more econs essay outlines and all I can do is drink coffee and shake my leg in an annoyingly jitterish fashion.
My mum implored me to stop drinking so much coffee. Which is just fucking fine because she drinks coffee every morning and I just drink a can of Nescafe goodness during the massive "CAFFEINE FIEND" periods that require 3am nights and feverish sleeping patterns. According to her, her coffee is different from my coffee. Uh huh. Right.
OH DEAR GOD NO. NO NO NO NO NO. WHAT ARE THOSE
