silveradept...all's well that ends well, maybe? I think my antagonist and I have come to an agreement of sorts - we're probably leaving each other alone for the moment. Although there may have been some implied "last shots" at me in his farewell-to-topic, I'm content to let things lie. The thread will probably perish soon enough, in the nature of forum communications, as new things replace it.
Probably means, though, that I haven't done a whole lot for promoting the chivalric cause with that exchange. A failing, but then again, I'm used to it. I suppose I should be thankful that most of my screw-ups are minor, not major. I'd still rather have no screw-ups at all, but they're useful - they help us grow, if we learn from them. At least it's not enough to cause bunny suicide or anything like that.
Probably just a manifestation of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Eris loves me, yes she does. I should probably take a seat - whaddya mean I need a license for it? That's kind of like this Hemmingway poem... although I can see it as the rallying cry for many liberals, anarchists, and such. Not necessarily bad, just different.
There goes Johnny... another icon passes to the march of time. Seventy-nine years, though, is an impressive lifespan. And with what he did, he probably touched more lives than he knows. Rest in peace, man. You've earned it.
The rest of today was spent turning in my uniform, playing at a women's basketball game (we won, surprisingly!), watching animation and football, with the dinner and Meijer run with the family. Tomorrow, school starts again, and I begin revision cycles on my thesis, the first one. Hopefully, I can distill things down and start seeing the broad connections, as well as beginning to make fairly substantive points about the whole thing. There's still a lot more work to do, and I hope that I'm up to the task. Especially since I'm in revision. But both my current reader-advisors will hand me a sack full of commentary on it, and so it'll be a matter of back to the drawing board, I suspect.
Even so, was nice to take the weekend off... even if it bites me in the ass later. There's not much left for me to do in my undergraduate - just need to hang on long enough to get everything done. And hope that somebody in graduate school will have me. The insanity begins again in earnest tomorrow.
