Greetings and hello! Nothing new to report, really: I'm on Christmas Break for basically all of December, so I'm doing my best impersonation of a slug while I still can. What little I have to offer in the way of noteworthy information is as follows:

By some miracle of Zeus, I managed to get straight A's in my first quarter at Cal Poly, although I didn't deserve to at all. Huzzah!

For those of you following that infamous and scandalous soap opera, "Days of Our Eric," the e-mail to Aurore (see prior entry: "Où nagent dans la nuit l'horreur et le blasphème") has been sent. May Allah be merciful, and allow her to respond swiftly and amicably.

And now, for something completely different: a list of books currently on my desk.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Mark Twain
Utopia, Sir Thomas More
The War of the Worlds, H.G. Wells
The Portable Hawthorne
The Doom That Came to Sarnath and Other Stories, H.P. Lovecraft
The Land of Laughs, Jonathan Carroll
Juliette, Marquis de Sade
The Works of Wilde
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Victor Hugo
Alchemy & Mysticism: The Hermetic Museum, Alexander Roob
The Flowers of Evil, Charles Baudelaire
The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre
Gray's Anatomy, Henry Gray, F.R.S.
