 | 09:07 pm - Back to full-time and a VERY lucky save
I'm going to try going to SUNY full-time again. Sign up for Fall classes started yesterday, and I realized that the main reason I had to cut myself down to three classes this semester was because my classes were spaced too far apart. Some were early, some were late.

 | 07:27 pm - Happy Fucking Easter
My mother called me around 2 pm on Saturday, gasping, saying she needed me and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) binderbright to drive her to the hospital. I didn't bother to ask her what for. We threw on our clothes, drove over, and while binderbright offered to come in, I thought it would be better if she waited outside, not knowing exactly what would be going on inside. With the treatment she's going through, my Mom could have been doing anything from bleeding profusely out of her nose to shitting herself non-stop.
What I found inside was a learning experience about myself and about why I am the way I am.

Forget my last entry, in fact I'm going to delete it.
Rather than creating a whole new blog, I'm blogging again at The Daily Burn.
Still blogging here, just blogging comic book stuff there.
Woot. Or whatever us internet asshole say.

| 02:32 am - Corporate Rock Superhero Diversity Still Sucks
I've been thinking a lot about superheroes lately. While that shouldn't come as much of a surprise, my obsession has reached a new level of intensity lately, mainly for three reasons. First--as I've probably mentioned on the blog before--last semester I wrote a paper on Batman where I considered the origin of the Dark Knight, his villains, his relations with other superheroes, etc. and their meanings through Marxist Literary Theory. Second, this semester I've once again chosen to write a comic-booky paper, this time about black male superheroes for my Sociology of Gender course. Third and finally, I'm hoping to start work on a novel this summer--set in a world where superheroes exist--and have been working on a lot of background history to that end.

...good.
Well, I worked it out. I printed out my degree audit, referred to the English honors graduation requirements on the department's website, and checked the Journalism and Gen Ed requirements.
Assuming none of the finaglification I am attempting (getting them to count UT credits towards Gen Ed and Journalism stuff) works out, assuming I keep my job, and that I take a maximum of 9 credits per semester (including Summer), I need 66 credits before I can graduate, which would push my graduation date to Fall 2007.
Wow.

Since switching to part-time at school and full-time at work, I've been judiciously forgetting--at every available opportunity--to re-calculate my expected date of graduation. Probably because my archenemy, Mick Responsible--who only surfaces bi-annually and only during times of great hardship--chose to rear his ugly head while I was working on a project in the computer lab, I decided to check my degree audit on the MyUAlbany page SUNY Albany provides for its student body of drunk bastards.

 | You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).
Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.
agnosticism | | 92% | Buddhism | | 58% | Islam | | 50% | Christianity | | 46% | Judaism | | 46% | atheism | | 42% | Hinduism | | 38% | Paganism | | 33% | Satanism | | 29% | </td>

| 04:32 pm - Ten things
Inspired by my lovely binderbright, who in turn got it from princeofcairo--who in turn got it from someone else and there's no way I'm going through the whole damn list, I'm not fucking Oscar Schindler over here--what follows is a list of ten things I have done that you probably haven't. I usually avoid these cross-journal things, but this is a genuine challenge. I doubt my answers will be as spectacular as others, but let's give it the ol' college try.
Ten Things I've Done That You Likely Haven't
1. Stood atop a metal bench, waved my New York ID, and sung "New York, New York," to a news cameraman and the rich socialite who was posing as a Confederate officer on horseback for that year's Confederate ball at the University of Tampa.
2. Set my mattress on fire by setting napkins aflame and watching them burn away in a glass ashtray which I apparently didn't imagine would explode that quickly.
3. Used The Official Handbook of The Marvel Universe as one of my very first stroke-mags.
4. While playing War at a camp site, accidentally stepped on a bee hive on top of a boulder (I thought they were only supposed to be in trees), was stung by no less than 17 bees, ran down the side of the boulder screaming with my two compatriots who were like screeching, and was subsequently attacked by my brother and his team who didn't know about the bees and thought we were making like the end of Braveheart.
5. Stood up in my summer class and screamed my head off at one of the school's army sergeants.
6. Got kicked out of an outdoor poetry reading before it officially started for getting drunk and jumping into a fountain.
7. Jumped into my poetry professor's pool fully clothed and splashed her and everyone else standing next to the pool.
8. Had one of my first sexual experiences in the office of a radio station.
9. Dyed my hair purple while attending military school and kept it that way for a month while the military office searched manuals dating back to the Civil War for any regulations regarding hair color.
10. Was taught to French kiss by a French girl.
Yeah, I'm boring. I need more stuff.
