went to a talk/discussion by one of my favorite professors... I asked a question about how this paper that is my favorite thing ever applied to this, and he basically informed me that new data has come out that means that that paper is wrong.

dang.

now... statistics studying, starting my story about a man who builds a nest like a bowerbird, doing my radio show.

today a guy in my fiction class criticized another guy's story because he named his character Don Fogerty, which is awfully close to John Fogerty.
He said "that's like naming your character... Jimmy Kendrix!"

If I had read this kid's story, I would have said "yeah, or Phil Kesh" because that is the name he gave one of the characters in his story. WEIRD.

See, that's the thing.
Something about the way this kid said it made me think "Jimmy."

Get a job washing dogs, probably move in with this girl even though it is a bad idea.

Spend a thousand dollars on a futon.
I've never spent that kind of money on furniture before, I think I need to work out how this changes my worldview.

You ever get that feeling that the salesman totally took you for a ride but they were so good at their job that you kind of liked it anyway?

one of my two best friends here, my future roommate, was elected almost unanimously to be the KWUR general manager next year. I am so glad.

Now I write a 10 or so page story. Oof.

I always kind of assumed that one of the main virtues of a futon was that it is not as expensive as real furniture.

Yeah... you would have thought, that was even my thought going in.

Tuns out I'm a sucker for really comfortable matresses and hardwood bed-frames.

Last month's Esquire magazine had a six-page spread on sleep, and what struck me the most was the article on this futon the guy bought. He paid out the ass for it and still loves it 15 years later, can't sleep on anything else.

lol, remember waterbeds lol

My housemate keeps laughing at me, he says I should get some Egg chairs to go with it. Which would be funnier if it didn't sound like such a good idea...

Yeah, I guess?
It was really comfortable.
I mean that figure includes the bed frame and delivery and so on, though one of the things I learned while bed shopping is that it is more than possible to spend thousands (multiple!) on mattresses alone. That's really kind of scary.
I guess the big joke is that after all that they can't deliver it till mid next week and so I'm sleeping on the couch for a few days.

It was a weird day all round. I got blanked by a nun as I was walking back from the store too, though I think that was just me being paranoid.
