Frownland's Aleoteric Advice Arena

Dear Frownland,

I should be working on my thesis, but I'm not, and just thinking about it makes me want to go back to bed and sleep until May when it's all over. How do I resume a reasonable level of responsibility/energy/non-hatred of my university career before the end of December?

Warm regards,

Paedant

DWV

*grabs dictionary*

First integer set: 22, 13, 36
22=V, page 13, word 36
Vernal: of, pertaining to, or appearing or occurring in, the spring.

Second integer set: 10, 9, 26
10=J, page 9, word 26
Jocasta: the queen who unwittingly marries her own son, Oedipus, and kills herself when she finds out.

Third integer set: 11, 1, 43
11=k, page one, word 43
Kala azar: an infectious disease, a type off leishmaniasis, that occurs in subtropical or tropical areas, caused by a protozoan parasite (Leishmania donovani) transmitted by sand flies (esp. genus Phlebotomus), and characterized by an enlarged spleen and liver, irregular fever, anemia, etc.

Advice: I did it to save you. Avoid vernal trips to the tropics, for you might be infected with kala azar, which could lead you to meeting your own son who is acting as your caregiver, who you then fall in love with, marry, and eventually endure the fate of Jocasta.

Tl;dr go somewhere cold if you travel.

Dear Frownland,

I can't stop smoking joints. I know I shouldn't smoke so much, but I think i'm in an unbeatable high and I can't get away. Any advice.

Sincerely,
Yours Truly.

Frownland, I want to know how to improvise the sickest solos, but I can't be arsed to learn all those scales, modes and arpeggios. Should I dicipline myself and practice that ****, or just play atonal stuff because I don't know any better, and then call it avant-garde?

The I Ching says:

Quote:

This is a time for dealing with reality as it is, not as you would have it be.
If you realize that in this situation you are the receptor, not the transmitter of the stimulus, you will find yourself reaching goals that seemed unattainable under your own steam.
If you persist in futile efforts to be the Shaper rather than the Shaped, you will completely miss this unique opportunity.

Savage.

The I Ching says:

Quote:

A Promethean flame is delivering light and heat to the situation at hand.
This radiance will cause such an alchemical transformation of circumstances that the changes will seem magical, miraculous.
Yet they are only shifts of perspective and attitude that bring clarity.
The passions kindled by this fire must be harnessed and used judiciously, or they threaten to consume your hopes and dreams.
