I've got norton's anthology, but I need it this semester. Try finding your books from half.com. That's where I got mine. Right after I fought the urge to buy new shiny books.

fathima - it's what some people like to tell me. like james above, for example. first year at this western postsecondary institution, i believe is the spiel they play out.
but of course i don't believe it.

rooq-bhai - let me speak for myself, you overgrown walad.

I'd have sworn that you were already in university, what with the link to UofA's MSA and the literary references.

I just can't believe you're younger than me. Maybe you aren't still a teenager?

i'd be a secondyearer but for spending last year in syria. all these labels, to throw around. you are i think a thirder? most people i know are thirders or seconders. some of them are in the msa. and i used to be on campus a lot.

but no, i have a little way to go before i hit twenty.

you should be flogged for lying in public.

quit embarassing basit in front of the sisters, farooq.

see, here we have an interesting situation. it is the power of punctuation: either it is /flogged in public, for lying/, or /flogged, for lying in public/. somewhat like /let's eat, farooq/, or /let's eat farooq/.

either way, as the lady at the laura secord ice cream place said as we got the horrid french crisp ice cream rooq-beta's been eating for the past six years, "that's nothing to be embarassed about! (and oh, the napkins are right over there.)"

Blogger basit said...

i also haven't checked my email in almost two days, and other nice apparently disorganized things.
