memory poppin' up

I just thought of Professor Dempsey as I was typing up my "creature feature" on mosquitoes. And I started laughing all over again.

Classic Dempsey:

"Rome's slaves weren't terribly happy and were plotting a revoltion. Now let's take a step back, pull a Nancy Kerrigan and ask 'whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy?'"

Also, throughout the entire semester I had him for Roman History, he had a running commentary going with his exemplary Roman. His name, was (of course) Marcus Fibricious.

And if you did well on a test, he gave the boys batman stickers and the girls butterfly stickers.

Despite my best intentions, I seem to have let the updatery of the blog slide. I have been writing, and promise that once things are edited a bit and don't sound like the ramblings of a crazy person (an amazing feat, considering that's what they are), they will find their way here anyway.

Not that it matters, since I'm 99% certain no one reads this blog.

It's more for me.

And the fact that I always lose papers and journals, so digital copies of writings are always a safe bet.
