Noctus 7, 29.
2:12 PM.

At the Cool Beans cafè in Cambridge, OH. I can’t make heads or tails of… grimy in a cold different the NYC way. More Flint than Chi. The bathroom is as gross as a gas station.

Cute monkey, asleep.

Remember the cruise project?

It’s about to begin.

First, our original cruise with the Australian carrier was canceled, so our Iqaluitian sponsor will transfer all reservations to the Regent Seven Seas Cruises (http://www.rssc.com/).

Information on our new 111-day world tour can be found here: http://www.rssc.com/rss/PDF%20Files/2006/3362%20WC%20Flyer%2020073.pdf

– Cosmo Dogood’s Urban Almanac, which I’ve used for commemorative and holiday posting is officially out-of-print. Now I’m using the Old Farmers Almenac, which means that there’ll be a chance to both the appearance and content of that information here.

It’s been quite a couple of months, these.

I’m not referring to the whole year. The second semester of my first year in the program was rough, and for the last month I was hopelessly behind in homework and reading.

Happy Hanukkah.

Star of Wonder, by Sufjan Stevens.

I call you from the comet’s cradle/
I found you trembling by yourself.
When the night falls lightly on your right-wing shoulder,
wonderful know-it-all, slightly, where the night gets colder.
Oh, conscience, Where will you carry me?

As you’ve probably gathered from my email, I still haven’t finished the book. Although I think I’ve over halfway through if everything I read from the beginning and near the end is counted. At any rate, I’m disappointed that this is the one book I’ve evidently dropped the ball with, because I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read and think that was a class discussion I would’ve been quite involved in.

– PICTURE OF THE WEEK –
The Ziggurat of Ur.

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –
Are you traveling for the holidays this year? And if so, where are you going? Who will you be seeing?

END OF POST.

So here, in full, is the email I received yesterday from the Democratic Party.

Dear Connor,
Majority Parties kickoff

If there’s one thing I want every Democrat to remember as we head into the New Year and into a fast-approaching presidential election, it is this: we are the majority.
