my darling Loki and Ren-chan have a much better sense of time than i do. around 2 minutes before my alarm goes off(on my cell phone, appropriately playing the first guitar and drum riffs from Placebo’s “Pure Morning”), start nuzzling my face and mewing in my ear, begging for food. that and the Placebo, i can think of worse ways to wake up. :)

maybe because this stuff actually does interest me, maybe because i’ve learned a lot of it already as an undergrad, but only a week in and i’m finding myself obsessed with the subject matter and probably a bore to talk to… but i’m enjoying it, dammit! :D
