O, the day art died!

I have several hefty exams tomorrow. Today I had my midterm for Data Analysis, and I finally freaking know what a z-score is!

Because of this work before me, I holed myself up in my room and got promptly to procrastinating. Unfortunately, I was met squarely with this for my efforts.

How the hell am I supposed to blow off work when I can’t even read my feeds?

Christ, how I hate downtime.

    Grasshopper, down-time is the opposite of the devil’s playground. It is what God used six days of to create the world…! Down-time for the devil might also be when he imagines how he might make the world a better place, if he weren’t always so busy being the devil…! On the other hand, when God is active, not having down-time, he is being.

    I think there might be some hard-to-trace paradox in those images….

    Hold it right there, Robert!

    The hoarse crow cries out to a thousand planets.

    The sun goes down through ghettos of clouds.

    For the record, I was referring to “downtime” as in “time when servers do not operate”—not as in time when I myself having nothing pressing to do.

    My whole life is nothing pressing.

    I don’t know why these images should please me
    So much; an angel said: “In the last moment before night
    Brahms will show you how loyal the notes are.”

    Although, come to think of it, there might not be a difference at all.

    I carry the strangest things in my pockets.
