| Well, not wanting to be left out, i too feel the urge to write whiny posts about disasters by and large of my own making. First, I thought I had a whole disc of West Wing left, but it turned out the whole last disc was commentary! Frantic downloading ensued. Second, they're ripping the fuck outta Hollister Ave right now, the street that runs alongside the building that contains the sad little room I live in. And by "right now," I mean right now, they set up klieg lights and work from 8PM to 3-4 AM. I keep on thinking my phone's going off, 'cause something's vibrating...but it turns out to be the FUCKING BUILDING as they drive 10-ton trucks by it. Do you know how to repave a street? I don't either, but I know you use jackhammers. Lots and lots of jackhammers. Third, I stayed up to some silly hour watching some television I'd jsut downloaded. It seemed the right thing to do, as my bed was still shaking to the rhythm of the large, large trucks, but it lead to... Four, I got up on three hours sleep, forced myself into the shower at gunpoint, pedaled frantically to school, stopping only once to put my chain back on, and discovered that school starts on Thursday. Large, empty, darkened lecture hall, with only me in it, not 3 minutes late (like I thought) but 47 hours and 57 minutes early, like everyone else knew. Anyway, now I have to go make my children a study guide, as last class, instead of a lecture, they sorta kinda maybe had to watch the West Wing... I'm out...  , whine at ya later... |
