Event of the Day:
After spending countless hours last night trying to fix the problems with my computer and resisting to chuck it off the balcony, I finally got everything to work properly again this morning with just enough time to do my homework.

"Typically academic," they disdainfully observed about many university press books--"too dry, too specialized, too self-absorbed for us." In their world, the word "academic" was as much a term of opprobrium as the word "middlebrow" was in mine.

Horoscope of the Day:
Try to pay attention to your gut instincts today, Chris. The energy of the day could heighten your natural intuition. You may find that certain impressions just come to you, broadcast directly through your nervous system. You could pick up on someone's emotions or figure out their true motives. Your psychic radar will be especially strong, so don't ignore it! Your instincts could bring you some important guidance now.

(I knew I had intuition somewhere! Aside from what I pay the school that is.)
