Portrait of...myself.

My roommate Skoticus has amazing talent. He is a creative writer, and currently has a novel under review at a publisher. I am impressed with his writing. He also took these pictures. (P.S. He is very good at engagement photos)His personal blog is listed to the side, and his professional blog is http://skoticusphotography.blogspot.com/ .  This posting is partially a plug for his site, but mostly it is an excuse to post pictures of myself.

Oh, Canada

I am taking a "World History of the British Empire" class. It is really interesting. This is a map of Canada circa 1870. I was going to use it in a presentation for the class. So i posted it to this blog to give me easy access. However, I have decided to leave it here for no other purpose than to have a map of Canada.

Long time followers will remember my latest posts concerning snipes. However, in today's post we will move away from the theoretical theory of snipe-theoretics, and instead focus on more practical matters. We will begin with the most important stuff, myself. After that we will answer important questions chosen randomly from the dictionary.

Not much has changed since my last post. Therefore, I will not recap by repeating myself for the sake of filling space with mere redundant repetition of previous information. Let me reiterate: I will not replicate--nor say again--unneeded, unnecessary, uncalled-for, superfluous, excessive, or duplicate replications.

Word of the Day: Quechua: a family of languages spoken in Peru and adjecent countries of the South American Andes.
