| Nick Drake: One of These Things
This will be my last entry from the United Kingdom.
I'm torn in three directions right now On one hand, going home means seeing old friends, friends who I haven't seen in a long time, who are dear to me and who five months ago I thanked for getting me through the roughest times in my life.
In that same thank-you I said that I hoped that coming to England would mean meeting new friends and it has--I also predicted that it would be nice to be able to say "I'll see you again soon," to these friends, just like everyone back home.
Problem is, "I'll see you again," means having to say "Goodbye" first, even if it's in a temporary way. I've had to say that too much this year--this past Sunday at the rail station was particularly bad. Now I don't get to see my luckiest again until August probably, and that's tearing me in yet another direction.
Of all things, I find myself turning to the wisdom of Bill Murry:
"Bye, Steve."
"Don't say that. Even if it's true, don't say that, it's too painful."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Say 'bon voyage.'"
Say "bon voyage" to me and to all of you, England, Scotland, Indiana, Lebanon, Minnesota, I say, "I'll see you again before too long." | | |

"Based on the answers that you have provided, your Vulva and Vagina is of poor quality"
I think that given my lack thereof, this should be pretty obvious, however, rating your delicate flower definately kicks the shit out of most crappy, "what are you?" Blogthing surveys.
Go here to see how your vagina stacks up against the rest:

Also, I'm pretty sure that the site this one came from is actually porno in medical institute's clothing. At the very least, I suspect it's run by guys due to the creepy frequency of "what men find attractive in the hoohah department" stuff on here. | | |

| Urge Overkill: Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon
Or as it's better known, the song that's playing when Mia Wallace snorts Vince Vega's heroin.
Anyway, here's the top news item on the Warwick Univeristy homesite today. With all apologies to my friends who study sociology, shit like this is not making a good case for your worth as a human being:
Is the Intellectual an Endangered Species?
"This is the question that Professor Steve Fuller from Sociology and Professor Frank Furedi from Kent University will be debating on Monday. Steve will be countering Professor Furedi's argument that the intellectual is dead, and he is well-placed to do so having just seen the publication of his latest book The Intellectual. Steve's latest work dissects what it means to be an intellectual. And asks what distinguishes them from philosophers, scientists, politicians or entrepreneurs. Or indeed academics! To see Professor Steve Fuller and Professor Frank Furedi in action come along to the Arts Centre on Monday - it promises to be a truly intellectual debate."
I think that last bit is particularly good, especially because it just sort of assumes that because the debate is about being intellectual, it will therefore be intellectual, which sort of negates the relevancy of the whole process. I think I'd rather see Professor Steve and Professor Frank get involved in some form of amusing eating contest.
