The muses’ decision to sing or not to sing is never based on the elevation of your moral purpose—they will sing or not regardless.

A Glad Day for Surfing



Here, (right here) the senate transcends the capacities of the human body to locate itself. In the byzantine corridors of these blog posts we are lost in a big hotel, filled with glass elevators and numbered rooms off into infinitum. Where do we go? What do we write? Shall the irksome sound of silence descend upon the intarwebs blog stain we have smeared? What values do we hold here, if any? Power?

"As God as my judge I am not guilty"
"God is not your judge, I am. You get six months."

WTF has happened to senate? Terry Shivo anyone? Do the eyes of our blog follow the doctor's balloon? e-euthanasia? I think we are (here) on this page to learn how to be immortal, or better, learning not to be mortal, to refuse finitude and disavow death's poisonous breath. To desire this immortality is not the mastery of death, but the very limit of philosophical thinking. Or as Plato put it so many years ago, 'To philosophize is to learn how to die.' Together we surf, in postmodernist hyperspace, make a post and a glad day for surfing.

Photos from the Mini-Reunion!

Daddy and The Senator met up in the Babylonian Bedlam and had a ball offering our services to the unemployed friends of our fine institution. The skies wept late in the evening but a little water couldn't ruin The Senator's night!! He hadn't had this much fun since the last Chris and the Gentle Dicks last reunion tour!! Luckily I took some photos of The Senator and his lovely new tattoos.

News of two senators at large!!


Facebook tells us of the latest Senate adventures:
Senator Cipolla ’09 is in Saratoga, working for Skidmore’s media services as a lab tech. His real area of expertise is audio recording and editing, and he hopes to one day compose and record music for film, software, and TV. Currently, he plays piano weekly at the Wine Bar in downtown Saratoga.

Senator Sunkin ’09 is interning for the summer in Boston, after which he will attend law school. He is considering a career in bioethics, an interest he has held since his freshman year at Skidmore when he took a Scribner Seminar on biotechnology. Eventually, Senator Sunkin aims to move to California and work with stem cells or GMOs. He concludes, “I am really excited about my future and feel like Skidmore has provided for me, socially and academically, the best tools for the upcoming challenges ahead.”
such fantastic news calls for a celebration (if possible, try to play that with this playing at the same time).
