Happy Birthday, David Ogden Stiers!
Oh, Winchester. You went on to star in such classy television shows as “Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place.” Oh ho ho, those stories you would tell! Wonderful.

Oh, Professor Offin. You so c-rayzeh.
This is why I both love and hate my various math classes.

Welcome to the dark underbelly of Queen’s University.
[A coffee house filled with couches. EVE, a university-aged girl in a large leather parka sits on a couch, writing in a notebook. A crossword lies on the floor by her feet. Next to her, a friend (WILL) reads a textbook. Enter THE REV and a MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.]
The Rev: Hey, Eve, I didn’t see you there. How are you? This is Eric, he’s a friend of mine.
Eve: Hey, Rev. Nice to meet you, Eric. Will, Rev, Eric, Will.
[MYSTERIOUS STRANGER nods. WILL nods.]
The Rev: What are you doing, homework?
Eve: [winces.] Trying.
The Rev: I see.
[The two make small talk. WILL and the MYSTERIOUS STRANGER sit in silence.]
The Rev: If you’ll excuse me, I came here to discuss something with this man here. I’ll let you get back to your work, okay?
Eve: No problem.
[THE REV and the MYSTERIOUS STRANGER begin an animated but secretive conversation. EVE returns to her work. WILL turns the page in his textbook.]
Mysterious Stranger: [incomprehensible mumbling]
The Rev: [incomprehensible mumbling]
Mysterious Stranger: [incomprehensible mumbling] …lesbians?
The Rev: Is that viable?
[EVE looks up, raising an eyebrow. THE REV and the MYSTERIOUS STRANGER continue their incomprehensible mumbling, gradually shuffling their couches closer together and bending their heads down until their torsos are almost horizontal. After a lengthy period of time, MYSTERIOUS STRANGER departs.]
The Rev: Sorry about that. We were settling a business contract.
Eve: Business contract.
The Rev: Indeed. An internet company he’s putting together. It’s a bit secretive; he’s somewhat nervous about it so I can’t tell you more.
Eve: Oh, that’s perfectly understandable. Internet porn?
[WILL looks up, raising an eyebrow.]
The Rev: [pauses.] Yes.

I’ll shuffle his deck clean?
So I just went to see Melissa Auf Der Mar. The last three songs were okay. Most of the time she just spouted the usually rock star pretentious tripe. “Come join us in outer space…” It was pretty hysterical in that respect. Especially her Avril getup; she had the arm bands and everything. Way to ROCK THE BOAT, early 90’s bass icon.
What was more hysterical was that the guy with the eccentric curly hair from my physics class was also there. I spoke to him after the show, it was slightly surreal. Or maybe it was surreal because I’ve just eaten banana loaf, which usually puts me into a haze of… banana…?… and loaf. Ummm… yeah, I’m not getting away with that at all, am I? Recommendation: My very own Grad Club tradition – The Black Widow. Perhaps a new addition to the roster – the Chickory Cranberry Honey Wheat Beer offered by the Grad Club. Good beer. Very righteous name. And it’s from a microbrewery, which is hip with the kids these days.

What is it with the sleeping through all my classes all week?
I think I’m starting to manifest stress.
So maybe it’s not the best idea to switch into EngPhys.
Or maybe I’ll just wait for this catatonia thing to wash off.
Either way, I think I’ll see career counselling tomorrow.

Today has been busy
- I’m thinking of switching into EngPhys.
- I’m thinking of going to New York for the weekend.
- I’m thinking of becoming a wandering minstrel. I’d play everything, from the bagpipe to the xylophone. People would say, “play the mellotron!” and I’d play the mellotron. Sling a mellotron on my back and walk down University Avenue, entertaining children and raising the hopes of millions.
- I have a lab due in an hour, and my results aren’t conforming to the expected ones.
- The Elegant Universe is being shown on PBS tonight.
- I just spontaneously tried to download Fargo, which I’ve been trying to get for months, and suddenly it’s going at 60 Kb/s.
- I watched MASH yesterday and drank hot chocolate. It was good.
- My bananas have been in the fridge for two days, and already they’re brown and rotten.
- No matter how much I clean it, my room will never be clean.
