Quote of the week from a faculty member I work with:
Nothing on Athena is easy--it is against the basic design concept.
*sigh*

nosaj (Jason M Sachs):
To live, somehow.
-------------------------------------
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
I should have split home at fifteen
Why didn't I ever say what I mean?
There's a story that the grass is so green,
What did I see?
Where have I been?
-- The Who,
"Sea and Sand"
-------------------------------------
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out;
It doesn't matter much to me.
-- The Beatles,
"Strawberry Fields Forever"
-------------------------------------
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries a reminder
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving,
But the fighter still remains."
-- Simon & Garfunkel,
"The Boxer"
-------------------------------------
That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place
that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.
You may *think* there is, but once you get there, when
you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write
"Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I
think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a
cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say
"Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was
born and what year I died, and then right under that
it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.
-- J. D. Salinger,
"The Catcher in the Rye"

sorokin (Jessie Stickgold-Sarah):
God
Tori Amos
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
I gotta find what you're doing about things here
A few witches burning, gets a little toasty down here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case
You've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
