So, I'm officially a world traveller.

So, I went to Italy at the end of May. Pretty fun experience, really. I was admittedly all ruined out by the end of it, but I seriously enjoyed the landscapes as well as ruins such as the Coliseum, The Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica, and Mt. Etna. Oh, wow, Mt. Etna was glorious. The views coming to and from the mountain, actually going up 10,000 ft. to the highest safe point on the

Outlines!...but not much else.

So, I have a good thing going in that I have a least three stories oulines for Stories From the Grave. Maybe four if I include the one I had originally meant to start out the little collection.

I hate my English classes.

To put it simply, I really, really, really just don't like how much thought I have to put into everything I read like my goddamn (or Celestia-damned) life depends on it.

Chasing Ice

I normally don't write about what I've seen in my college classes in a more public setting, but I really do kinda feel like I need to get thise off my chest.

You know that feeling...

When you're stuck with a good number of stories you want to read (or re-read!) yet feel like you have other commitments that you either want to or need to take care of at the same time, and the resulting opposite forces make you feel like you're being mentally pulled in two (or three, or however many unique other things you feel need to be done at the time)?
Yeah, I got that. In spades.

Chasing Ice · 12:39am Sep 26th, 2014

I normally don't write about what I've seen in my college classes in a more public setting, but I really do kinda feel like I need to get thise off my chest.

We just finished watching Chasing ice in my Major Literary Figures class (the film relates to a book we'll be reading in the coming weeks). I have to say that the film has a lot of provocative but not pushy elements in it thanks to the fact that it lets the images of the receding glaciers speak for the film itself. I found myself gawking quite a lot or saying "Wow," "oh my god", or "Holy shit" while watching the video, and it honestly makes me feel a little infuriated that it seems like the general popular opinion is that this isn't pressing, or maybe that it's not relevant, at least at the making of this film in 2009 or so.

Even beyond that, the imagery in the film is simply breathtaking. Even if you chafe at the whole underlying theme about global warming, just watching what James Balog captures over the course of the film is well worth it. I heartly implore that you guys rent/buy it and watch it.
