(Eruditarum Stultitiarum Acta) We've been doing this for more than five years, but we lost the first year or so of archives. Frightening...

My Roommates are So Cool

Thanks to one roommate, I now am able to surf the Internet from my hard-drive deficient laptop. (And I get a cool penguin on my desktop as a bonus!)

The other roommate just surfed the Internet and discovered that I may have invented the term "sainted blasphemer" for Nietzsche. Please, anyone, disabuse me of my originality.

Colonization Equals Vergil

One of my new housemates happened to mention Areopoesis to a certain English professor. He asked what it was about. I told him. He asked if it had Vergilian overtones. I asked him how he knew. He said, "there aren't too many epics about colonization." He's got a point there. Hence, I added an allusion to Donne in the beginning of Book IV.
Usual respect if anyone can guess why.
