new icorey II

The new icorey is online. Yay.

If you’re reading this at my website, look to the left of this box to see links to different stylesheets that turn icorey all sorts of different colors. Also, if the text is too small, enlarge the text via your browser (Ctrl = in Firefox).

Icorey wasn’t designed for monitors smaller than WXGA, so things might not look very spectacular if you’re in that relatively small monitor by today’s standards category. Thus, I’m looking to make stylesheets for icorey more suited to smaller browsers.

That’s about it. Enjoy.

Leaving.

Last year I went home every weekend from the Rochester Institute of Technology and that became an issue with a few of my friends. So, I decided to compile a list of reasons explaining why I hate being on–campus.

Why I hate being on–campus:

I do not have a motor vehicle. Thus, I can never leave RIT except on weekends when I do leave. Two of my roommates—my roommates are great, BTW—have cars but I want to be able to leave whenever I want to without depending on anyone. Plus, it’s very depressing going between only my office, classes, and my apartment (I go to Java Wally’s and the SLC but that doesn’t make up for not being able to leave campus).
There’s no roller hockey in Rochester—the closest rink is 30 minutes away and there are games there only one night per week (Sundays, eww).
The Buffalo Sabres play home games only in Buffalo.
My entire family is in Buffalo.
My amazing dogs are in Buffalo.
RIT is depressing.
I’ll do what I damn–well want to.
The hamster is driving me nuts.

So if you still feel I’m stupid for going home every weekend, then you suck.

Zen Master

Recently, my head has been filled with poetry. Thus, I decided I should write some poems. I’ve been far too busy to actually churn out some poems, but I finally finished one. It’s a limerick, which I like because limericks are short and have nice flow.

For those who are unaware, limericks are five–line poems with rhyme schemes of aabba. Additionally, the first, second, and final lines should have nine syllables while the other two lines should contain six syllables. Also, the meter should be anapestic, but I’m not concerned with that at the moment.

Without further delay, here is my first ever limerick.

No one cares for your private affairs.
Like all the famous, socialite heirs:
Your words have no meaning,
You’re constantly preening.
Do us a favor—fall down some stairs.
