Well kids it's really summer. For those of you living in homes with air conditioning may you never know the misery that is sleeping in Ellingson 409 at this time of the year when one's sanity is inevitably contingent on the unremitting rotation of 3 small plastic blades. In addition to the heat there is yet another uncomfortable presence in my dorm. Alumni graduates dating back from the 40s to the late 70s have descended on St. Olaf campus. My fellow freshman's room's which have been emptied and cleaned are now visited by 80 year old men and women with their suitcases and bedding. I walk by friends rooms and see through open doors; ancient Timothy Towns and his wife folding clothes and old Sarah Jessup carefully getting ready for the next big reunion activity. I want to say 'You don't belong here, that's my friend's room. Don't you see how wrong this is that you and your wife are having a sensible evening where we threw shit down mere weeks ago?,' but I don't. I don't smile and wave at them either like the poster in 3North encouraged me to. I really don't like them here. I don't like brushing my teeth next to Grandma Johnson or getting lectured by Mrs. Franny to leave the lights on while she's taking a shower. Really, Franny? You really think I'm going to turn the lights off in the bathroom while you're obviously taking a shower? Maybe I just don't like the elderly. That's entirely possible. I've considered it before. Maybe I just don't want to feel like I'm living at a nursing home at age 19.
I got a new phone today. Never speak ill of the kind and generous men at the Apple Genius Bar. What should have been a most unfortunate deduction of $199 from Calebot's life savings account ended up being a 'get-out-of-paying-for-water-damage' free card. Needless to say I was very grateful/borderline over-appreciative.
Tonight it's all about B-dubs. For those of you who are unfamiliar, B-dubs is Buffalo Wild Wings the popular sports bar and chicken wing restaurant. The last time I went with my family to this restaurant we unwillingly experienced Cameron's enthusiastic investigation of how loud one can make orgasm noises without being asked to leave. I have high expectations for tonight's visit.
Song of the Day : Roxanne by The Police. Hope you enjoy this classic as much as I do.
