Hey everyone! This is a livejournal entry that I decided not to post, because I try to never talk about these things on livejournal. I thought I'd put it here. I'd like to mention that my life is usually not like this.

Title
by request. Explanation inside?
HuSi is now where I come when I want to talk about women. Everything else goes to livejournal. You're not missing much, though.

Hello, I failed once more with a girl.
My friend Rabbit says that no American can talk about theory for more than four minutes.

I could talk all night. My mind is, streetwalking.
If late at night you are talking to a woman on AIM and mention that you probably will not go to sleep because it would take you an hour to walk home so it wouldn't even be worth it, and she invites you to sleep at her apartment on her couch, what, if anything, is she implying?

The Reckoning. Who else can't wait for Halloween?
I didn't go to sleep last night. I stayed in the 24 hour computer lab until 4:30, then walked home, played Asteroids (actually
Maelstrom) for two hours, showered, and went back to campus for coffee and Syntax. Inside, I explain why this was Hitler's fault.

I now repent. Today I feel like my eyes are being ground with a pestle. I consider it unreasonable of myself to feel like this after missing only 20 minutes of sleep, but that's what happens when you don't complete the cycle. I just wanted to listen to Come On Pilgrim one more time! Now I can't muster it to read Beckett, and I've only got 50 more pages in Malone Dies! Actions have consequences. Caribou!

First, to most of California. Many people consider Californians to be unrealistically optimistic and kind. They call Californians "nonjudgmental" and mean it as an insult. That's not a true description; what they're seeing isn't moral relativism, it's mercy. Thanks for being merciful, California.
Secondly, to every woman I've ever known, with a different thanks to each. It took me a long time to see people as individuals and I'm still not done, but you're helping me get there.
Finally, to love, for continuing to tear us all apart.
Izvinitye!

I've got no class today. I'm wearing cutoff shorts, sandals with white socks, and a t-shirt that says "SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE". Here's an easy question about phrase structure grammar. This is what we have:
S->NP VP
NP->(Det) (AP)* N (PP)*
VP->V (NP) (AP) (PP)*
PP->P NP
AP->(deg) A
How do we change it to generate sentences like "My uncle's cat's collar is red" or "The Queen of England's dishes broke"?

This will avoid setting a precedent. This week the insult en vogue involves threatening your opponent's penis. "I'll pound a nail through your dick!" "Whatever, now I'm a
Mayan god. I'll
mistake your penis for a chicken!" And so forth. Inside I'll talk about Magic Cards and Linguistics. Nothing pertaining to
girls this week except in passing.
