Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave
announcement to make. Incredible as it may seem, strange beings who
landed in New Jersey tonight are the vanguard of an invading army from
Mars.

In my online escapades I find myself returning to find out more about "outsider" art.

In that line, I managed to "get ahold of" a BBC documentary about Syd Barrett.

I was inspired to not write, but rather edit a poem. [more]

Once again, a pitch for English Club Dresden Neustadt. We meet every Wednesday evening at a different locale in the Neustadt and rap in English. We make other meetings as they arise.

Our humble yet quickly growing board is found (for the time being) at this domain here.

Just in time for Reformation Day, archaeologists have found Martin Luther's crapper, where he was when his 95 feces came to him.

Sam Lender, bagel tycoon, died last week at 84. Guess what I'm a-doing tonight.

Lender and his brother invented a flash freezing process for bagels, making bagels accessible any day of the weeks for WASPs everywhere.

"The poet is truly the thief of fire." -- Arthur Rimbaud, born today in 1854. Garrison writes:

He entered a regional poetry contest
at the age of fifteen, where he was supposed to spend several hours
composing a poem for the judges. He slept through the first three
hours, then ate a meal, and wrote his poem a few minutes before time
was called. His poem won the competition.

Finally getting down to business at the TU tomorrow morning. And I've really got to get this page back in shape.
Just a few quick note to my L1 kids:
--See that link to the right that says "presentation guidelines"? Ignore that. That's not for y'all.
--If you are on the waiting list, show up anyway.
--If for some reason you didn't sign up at all, show up anyway.
--Make sure the email address you supplied LSK online is correct and you check it regularly.

Hey all you expats,
if you haven't gotten your absentee ballot yet, you might want to do something about it. More info below.

It doesn't matter if you want to vote for the Statesman or the Puppet, or maybe some third party ticket, just as long as your vote is cast.

I had a power meeting with my collective bosses up at Zeunerstr this morning, and oh boy was that ever fun. We've got a few small changes in store for y'all this year. I'll lay out the gist of it.

• Reading Comp. test at the end of L1
  
• No presentations in the 1st semester
  
• Presentations will be group projects (except for this semester's L2.2 students)
  

I am just a-rarrin' to go.
