Today is boring. I finished my paperwork, i don’t have to give a tour, and i don’t have an overnight until tomorrow. Very tame. So, i’m just sitting here eating truck-lunch and having my daily chat with Gina. I let out such a loud scream when she showed up at the shop-call last night that our director thought i lost a finger to our table saw. We’re playing an open mic this Friday, so if you’re a Drexelite, make sure to show up in the Creese Cafe around 6:30 to see us. God, i’m really fucking boring. Um… insert something about sex [here]. There ya go. That was pretty raunchy.

Gina just called me a “hopeless romantic” … that’s hopeful romantic, damnit! Why do we call them hopeless romantics? I think the connotation is that their romanticism is hopelessly unstoppable, and that they’re never going to change. But, did you ever think of it the other way? What if hopeless romantics are just romantics without a hope? What if they’re just always just setting themselves up for failure, and so lack any chance of ever just being “romantic” without any adverbs to modify it? Anyhow, Gina is either right or wrong depending on the definition … either i’m hopelessly romantic and she’s write, or i’m a very hopefilled romantic and she’s wrong. It’s a 50/50 shot, Gina.

Today is the ever-exciting “Data Entry and Manipulation” Tuesday, which, as you can tell, i’m taking a teensy break from. Which should be a teensy Ani-filled break. But, chatting up fellow co-op students around the Delaware Valley on aim is a nice distraction, and all of this frantic typing gives the illusion of me working even though i’m on my lunch break :p

Somehow, some way, the campus cd store still doesn’t have the new Ani disc in stock. Usually they sell every new cd a day early on Monday, but when i stopped in the new guy behind the counter gave me all kinds of attitude about thinking i’d get it early. So, like a good little boy, i stopped back today at noon to be told “The UPS truck didn’t get here yet.” It’s not like i want to spend the extra money on getting a cd here, but the convenience makes it worth it. However, if i must jog ten blocks to Tower Records and back on my lunch break, i must.

A conversation i bet you’ve never had with your mother, online or in person:


Mom – Don’t forget that we’re going to the concert on the 26th

Peter – Dude, me forget a Peter Mulvey concert? What sort of crack are you on, exactly?

Mom – Dude, the good stuff!


Yeah, we’re strange…
