Willow Lounge...

I sit down on the couch in Davie's, in the Willow Lounge, a very comfortable place to relax and study. "Glad you're done with English?" says the girl sitting on the couch across from me. Confused I say, "um... Oh! you mean last fall?" She says, "yes." But I still can't recognize her. We chat about things, classes, professors, whatever. The entire time I'm thinking, "Where did she sit in English, why don't I recognize her?" Then I ask her if she ever found out what she got on the research paper in English 110 last fall. As it turns out, now she's confused because she didn't write a research paper for English. Hmmmm. Then she tells me the name of her professor that she had. "oh, I had Hagenson," I reply. So that's it, she wasn't in my English class, great, so where the hell do I know her from. Now we are both just sitting there baffled. After about five minutes she says, "Did you take any summer classes?" And almost simultaneously we say "Kins186." But of course, how dumb could I be. Well apparently not very, because she dyed her hair since then, and she wasn't wearing her workout clothes that I had seen her in so often before. Mystery solved. That would drive a person insane if there was no ending.

After this I sit quietly writing.

Still on the comfy blue couch, opposite another of the same, with a table between, a chair is a adjacent and a window opposite that completing the square. Squeak, squeak, squeak goes the janitors car, wheeling through the lounge.
Murmurs of studious students getting the most out of their day. The seconds turn to minutes as it will soon be time for three more hours of class, though I won't see relaxation for at least ten more.

***********************************************

I found a new job, maybe. Now if only I can get hired. $10/hr 20hrs/week Mon-Fri. NO WEEKENDS!! On top of all that, it's computer related, so I'd actually enjoy it!! It's clearly meant for me.

Now to end this post with a witty comment...

Come on brain... think!
That's it! I'm disowning my brain...

I got nothin'...

Have a nice summer!

RIP Mitch

Mitch Hedberg was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. What a sad day. December 27th 2003 David, Mark, and I went to the Rosemont theater in Rosemont, IL. Very near to Chicago. We had tickets to see Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and "Special Guest." I don't think any of us knew who the special guest was, until he was announced. That was probably the coolest part of the trip, not only did we get to see Lewis and Dave, but Mitch Hedberg as special guest. I'm so glad we got to see him. If I remember correctly David and I were going to see him again, but it didn't work out. Now I really wish that would've worked. Anyway, I would like to commemorate this as Mitch Hedberg weekend. I'll put a random Mitch Hedberg joke up as often as I feel like doing. At least one per day. What a terrible loss to the comedy community, you'll be missed.

So, I just woke up at 11:19 or so. Which is only 49 min. late for class. and only 40 min. left in class. So i figured, by the time I found some clothes and put them on, and ran down there, walked up the three flights of stairs, there would probably only be 10 or 15 min. left. So i just went on my computer. And Adam was logged on in the lab that our class is held in, so he let me know what was going on. Well andyway, I gotta work tonight 4-12, and I'd just like to congratulate Tara on single handedly defeating the giant cricket type thing that even shadow (her cat) was afraid of. I didn't like it much either, but it ran away from me, so I couldn't kill it. In other news... I need to put up a new Fun Fact so here goes... Fun Fact #2: Americans, on the average, eat 18 acres of pizza a day. Have a nice summer!

What's the phrase that pays that plays for days?? WROX THE STUUUUURGE!

I don't think WROX are the right letters, but meh, I don't really care. If you know what it's from you'll say it in your head, or out loud, and if you don't, don't worry about it. I read this in an article on nfl.com this morning, found it rather humorous. Media note: Injury-riddled secondaries must be referred to as "banged up" while injury-riddled offensive lines become "patchwork." It's just like in baseball, in which right-handed pitchers are "veteran" and left-handers are "crafty." Here endeth the lesson. So, anyhoo, hope everyone is doing well with themselves. I've given up on trying to update this regularly. First of all there isn't enough terribly interesting stuff going on, and that gets boring for me and you. The only thing I have is this. Tara's coming this weekend! :) And she might get a job here. We'll see how that goes. I'll try to keep ya posted. She comes Thursday, I work Fri
