Well, you'd always have us.

Would you come visit me? I'd have an extra bedroom...

you still have Zoidberg. YOU ALL STILL HAVE ZOIDBERG!

also, thinking about living off-campus next year is cool, but confusing. Most of the people I would want to live with will be abroad one semester next year, and I don't want to end up living alone... I would completely Lose It really fast.

Well, this is my first academic year living alone, and it's probably the best thing for my studying, ever. However, it does get lonely.

[theinevitable]

yeah. That, and break-ins. And thinking about break-ins.

also, I guess I would have to pay rent for two? I don't know how it would work since the apartments are owned by the university, maybe they have some kind of set up for that?

just now I logged onto facebook and had an Event Invitation from The Gargoyle (music venue on campus, they are like our in-school rivals for some reason, they hate the shit out of the radio station) to... our big KWUR week concert. That is, the concert we put on once a year with a week of events leading up to it and it's like our one thing we do every year that is visible to the community at large. It is listed as a concert they are putting on. It doesn't mention that we are involved.
edit: hilarious. I completely misunderstood, that was never our show, I am dumb. I am very glad I didn't follow my first impulse, which was to write an angry email.

Man, I totally wish I lived alone the last year or so of college.  Once you have friends and stuff, living alone seems to be where it is at.  If possible live alone in a very close proximity to all of your friends.

apropo nothing, I made the mental connection yesterday that one of the things Pedro did at his old job was to write the web scripts for the online end-of-course evaluations for the Wash U School of Law.  (Just the law school; the other departments are someone else's fault.) 

Just thought that was interesting. 

Today, I'm gonna hold my daughter.  That's pretty much it.

...join a Yahoo e-group for my neighborhood.  I know my immediate neighbors, and my wife's a member of the PTA at my daughter's school, but it seems like this might be an interesting synthesis of online and meatspace lives.  I expect, however, that it will make PTA politics look like a grade school lunchroom.  Hopefully fewer trolls than a regular forum.  You have to be a resident of the neighborhood to join the group (its moderated).  Does anyone else do something like this?

[jaydub]

The minions have complied readily. I tell them the pretzels are complimentary but a soda is $2.

Do you have a fridge in there?  I was telling my boss the other day how I envy our walk-in cold-room as a lagering cellar.  He looked a bit alarmed at the concept (although I don't think its technically against our dry-workspace rules since I wouldn't be serving any of it.)

I think I want to be Ash when I grow up, maybe detouring through Nabu on the way.

I used to contribute my town's message board on nj.com, but quickly discovered it was the same old people on repeat loops.

Wouldn't we all love to take a detour through Nabu?

This can be arranged. Work with me, people.



Today I will be getting a guitar lesson from a bona fide rock star. Also, liquor.


Also, I will be receiving in the mail a mix disk from my favorite Austalian marsupial. Crepuscular!

[jaydub]

Don't forget to turn right at the small intestine, people - I bet his liver's a wreck.  That's gotta be worth a gander.

Ninja edit for grammar.

[KeithHernandez]

Wait, who is the rock star?

You got a mixdisc from Wombles AND you get to play guitar with a rock star?? LUCKYYYY!

Wait, who is the rock star?

Yeah, who??

I lived in a two bedroom apartment with 5 other dudes, a dormitory, an apartment with 2 other dudes and a house with three other dudes before financially biting the bullet and getting me a solo studio.

Man, was it nice to not have to deal with other peoples issues.

Today I have a pretzel keg on my desk. Seriously, a fuck*ng keg. I wrote "EAT ME" on a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 and taped it to it facing the door.

The minions have complied readily. I tell them the pretzels are complimentary but a soda is $2.

I misread that as you wrote "Eat me" and taped it to your door.  Just a general sentiment to anyone who happens your way.

I myself, just finished Campfire candy sales with my son for the year.   My family likes to support my son by buying candy from him, and then saying "Please don't send us the candy.  We don't want it."  Neither I or the Ladyfriend can eat any of it.

Here is what I've been doing.   My office is across from the break room.   I have the stash of candy in my desk.  I've been replenishing the little soldiers the moment they're spent, and watching the reactions of people as they realize there is an exact replica box of candy to the one that was just finished.  What could it be?  Candy Elves?  Easter Bunny?

So far the results have been entertaining.  Today has taken a bag of toffee cashews, 2 boxes of mint patties, and 3 (!) boxes of caramel chews.  I should be able to keep this up for another day or so.
