• Random weird things overheard on campus:

  
  

   

  
  

  
  
  • “Jess, did you put a man in the shower?” (I don’t know who said this, but it was when Joe was visiting and Liz had just put the “Man in Shower” sign on the bathroom door).
  
  
  • “You’re too busy and I’m too busy and I don’t want to talk to you right now.” (This was said by Field Hockey Girl, who now seems to double as Rugby Girl. It doesn’t sound weird by itself, but it does when you take into account the fact that she called someone specifically to tell them this).
  
  
  • “Do you think I could dye my hair red and get away with it? I don’t want anyone to notice.” (This was said by Mike, who happens to have black hair).
  
  
  • “You know, as a woman, why don’t you…expand your mind and get out of Victoria’s Secret?” (I have no clue about the circumstances of this one).

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  The internet connection has been horrible for the past week. It was at its worst Saturday, when it stopped working completely. As a result, I was completely bored Saturday night. The fire alarms in Sunset C (the apartments behind my dorm) went off at about 3 am and blared for an hour. When they first went off, I went down to the lounge to investigate. There were three or four girls in the lounge, doing some sort of Bible study or something. Who has a Bible study at 3:00 am on a Saturday night?

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  I got the expensive CD today (the reason I pre-ordered it instead of buying it once it was released is because I could get 10% off plus free shipping if I pre-ordered). This surprised me because, a) the CD was just released today, and b) today is Veteran’s Day, so we’re not supposed to get any mail. The package receiving notification slip I got in my mailbox was labeled “Priority,” which I thought was kind of dumb for a CD (at least they put a notification slip in my box, instead of the actual CD; that’s what happened last time I ordered a CD; the packaging was way too big to fit through the front of the mailbox). In addition to getting the CD today, I also discovered why it was so freakin’ expensive. Moral of the story: Always read the entire product description.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  The comic concept poses are almost done. I have two more to spruce up in Photoshop, and then they’ll all be ready. With any luck, I’ll be able to post them by the end of the week.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  I needn’t be frustrated about Rent anymore. It’s coming to Toledo next June, so I’m going to see it with my parents. The tickets are already ordered. We’re going to be in Row H, which isn’t as close as we were at Phantom (Row C), but it’s still pretty good.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Continuing the trend of rock stars appearing in the weirdest places, I saw a commercial for this on TV:

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  I can think of more than a few lame jokes about this, but I won't say any of them. For the record, I know virtually nothing about Bob the Builder except that it's a children's show.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  I’ve gotten a bit behind in discussing my History of Cinema movies. I was going to discuss some tonight, but I have to go to fencing soon, so I’ll save that for tomorrow (even though that’ll bring the total to four).
