Oh no

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2004 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Reginald Zelnik, an awesome and wonderful Russian History professor, has died. A goddamn delivery truck backed into him on campus. He was so funny and smart. He taught the most detailed, insightful lectures. It took me half the semester to realize he didn't need notes. I miss him.
