Time	Event
9:12p	The weather has been particularly pleasant lately, only snapping its cold wet towel on my ass with an infrequency which keeps things interesting. Some freshmen constructed a packed-snow igloo behind the new toaster dorms, and I spent several hours this weekend occupying it with two gentlemen from Cruger named Matthias and Joshua, whose kindness was only matched by the bud we passed. During an ill-fated attempt to warm ourselves the three of us started a small, very noxious fire out of dried sticks and notebook paper. After the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players concert Josh, Julie and I crawled back inside, consumed a Snickers bar, and voted for electric warmth. Igloos are wonderful structures and all, but prefab concrete and automatic climate control are significant improvements on the essential model. I will continue to enjoy Spring's slow, enticing striptease. Current Mood: mellow Current Music: Bob Dylan - The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll (3 Comments | Comment on this)
9:19p	in which i abscond with loot Earlier this evening I ascended the stairs to the third floor of Hopson, an old stone faculty building with a funktronic metal fountain in front. I was there to slip an essay on torture under a professor's door. On a small, dark wooden table in the hallway was three dollars cash, American, and a message written in chalk, "TAKE IF YOU DARE." Some sociologist's wager, I figured: leave money somewhere vacant but public and a person who encounters it won't take it because of some paranoid suspicion of a moral overseer. Yeah, you've all seen Clerks. Anyway, I dared. If you know whose money it was, thank them for me (though I did so myself with the chalk) and tell them to next time not wager against a scavenging species, and to nix the encouraging message. And no, they can't have it back. Current Mood: devious Current Music: Radiohead - There There (4 Comments | Comment on this)
