So I've been mentioning my daughter's experiences at university lately. She broke my heart by taking psychology instead of engineering. I figure I might document some of the things I get from her, and some of our conversations here.

I don't think my son was that crazy about orientation either. Other than the pub crawls to Quebec (drinking age in Quebec is 18). He became a bit of stereotypical boozy undergrad engineer for his first couple years. Then he started dating a Muslim (now Mrs. Little M). Yeah, that dried him out fast.

I'm mildly disappointed he failed to convince her of the benefits of alcohol. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

The attitudes in my circle against alcohol in any way or fashion is extreme. One late aunt almost gave up sweets when I spoke at a dinner one night that butterscotch and the likes actually had booze for flavoring at one time. They didn't see that the extreme cooking removed the alcohol. Another one drank Pure Vanilla ... perhaps thinking it was non-alcoholic! How do people get so informed?

Then we get artificial flavoring now that really raises question about the ingredients and how well they are tested. The some are somehow eliminated after years of loyal use ... for the red party ...
 
It's bloody difficult not having her around. She's been my partner in crime for years. Who am I supposed to talk to in this house now? My wife? My son?
 
I took a psychologists hint and talk to myself through a alien medium, stone, lambskin, paper parchment electric carrier ... shocking eh? What ever I say reiterates given time and space it returns re ordered ... what some call mental disorder! The night winds do a good job ... even speaking to me from the fringe ... twilight zone as an observational perspective ... science fiction? The real world has that sense of incarnate ... isn't as it appears ... but enigmatic ... hard to understand Christian winner programs that beat the others down like in tent stakes for their fortunes ... self destructive? Maybe just suicidal for society in a civil way ... martyrdom ... thus we travel ... for life is not permanent hom mae? Moe?
It is hinted that there's Moe to come ... Moesis? That other aye ...
 
Yet in life are we not all exposed to loosing parts of our self to hint at a greater separation and great alone? Imagine that rejected double, Thomas, Doppelganger ... a grand illustration of a great spirit without a decent carrying sol.

There are several stories like One Hundred Years of Solitude ... and something evolving ... a myth about autonomy?

Do we have to include the strange beast of limbic system in consideration of how mental process and storage progresses? Too complex to consider ... thus the pituitary complex becomes a worry ... rendered down an enigma or mystery if not studied! In cases of lobotomy the entire thing was disposed with dire consequences ... the creature could not recall or retain any new material (intellectual)?

A demonstration of losing it and growing an excessive will ... something to experience in a mysterious curve of psyche nature ... grief curve? Literary connections ...
 
Daughter's first snow day at uni. Somehow, we got on the subject of Fight Club, the movie....

Isn't there some scripture that says we need more competition in the game?

Maybe that was some economics weirdo ... thus the downhill urge!
 
Dante's addendum is actually more interesting than the actual Bible in some regards. Makes a good flat-our read in any case. But, yeah, it's interesting how many ideas about Hell that people go on about are actually from him.

We rarely had snow days when I was at U of W. Policy then was that they only closed down if Kitchener (now Grand River) Transit pulled busses or something like that. I went in one blustery day and, to my surprise, my prof for one class made it in. She was this delightful English immigrant who lived out in the country so I figured she'd be stuck. Nope, she hopped in her truck and blasted merrily through the snowbanks (okay, that's how I picture it, not literally what happened). I imagine she is long gone, now. Wonderful lady who was our undergrad advisor so I got to know her fairly well. Paid for my first Greek food, too, when she took me and a couple other undergrads along to a seminar in Toronto.
 
Scary reading in the middle of the knight ...

It is said that Mary went deep ... or otherwise profound ... thus the nature of still pools ... there be big fish!

You've heard of Zorba ... the dance after the big one got away? That was Ur (wa Sur and surly after the deposit) ...
