Day

Awake at 8 after four hours of sleep. See Kerry still hasn’t conceded. Waste 15 minutes reading stuff. Shower. Get dressed as planned, realize that my shirt would moire on camera. Change wardrobe. Leave 30 minutes later than planned. Arrive in record 10 minutes to school. Change Emerson Channel tapes. Talk to Sarah about EVVY website, if we ever get our domain. Go to class. Return to DPL because class was cancelled. Go get haircut in unexpected free time. Pass depressed people in Copley Square where the victory party wasn’t. iPod battery dies from lack of charging. Almost accidentally rip off Super Cuts’ cashier. Walk to CVS. Grab Got2BKinky. Wind intense, blows all loose hair trimmings free. Meet cutie for lunch. Bring my own lunch to a food court because I’m poor but smart like that. Cherish the framing of my favorite tree in The Common by the entry gate to City Place. Go to class. Listen to professor make inaccurate claims about my Maya problems. Prepared to leave class annoyed, but learn of Kerry’s concession. Go to EVVY producer meeting. Good times ahead. Fix someone’s Flash problem even though I’m not on duty in the DPL. Get interviewed to pimp Emerson’s new media program for Admissions. Gang up on a liberal who didn’t vote and still thinks he has the right to complain. Go to work. Fall asleep in the middle of a phone interview. Awake to see my fingers still typing… just not the words of the interviewee. Grab a Diet Rock Star from Store 24 on break. Get called by Mark. Get called by Dad. Talk to a chick who is a finalist for The Swan and thinks that she does not already possess everything she needs to be beautiful. Leave work, return to DPL to pick up book I left. Talk to Dad about Thanksgiving plans on the way. Run into cutie in DPL, leave for home, still forgot book. Random chick on the street tells me that I’m hott, tries to get name, but I’m taken and not interested. Get on T with spare change because I don’t have enough money to buy a monthly pass this month. Surrounded by Chinese-Americans speaking Chinese. Crave eggroll. Get off, see moon, almost mistake it for a street lamp. Walk home through the Expo center parking lot with lots of tractor trailers. Followed by security pick-up truck. Look innocent. It works. Come home to see roomie in boxers on couch on cell phone. He shouldn’t be flaunting, but at least he showered. Eat vegan sausage with a glass of white wine. Roomie checks e-mail while I deal with buzz. Cutie IMs me a bedtime story excerpt while we look at the moon from afar and talk about Celine Dion. I abandon homework efforts. Sleep will soon be upon me.

    I was watching local TV down here in Lynchburg when the polls had just closed. The camera scannned the local Democratic headquarters capturing their excitement because they just knew that Kerry had won. About an hour later, the Democrats were on tv again, you could see the distress. We kicked ass. Zell Miller ‘08.

    that was a nice blog, jeremiah.
    at first when i saw it i was skeptical about getting through it with my attention span to address; but it grabbed me in half of the way through and it was addiction from there on out.
    bravo :)

  6. Jeremiah Says:

    Derek: Because of you, all posts will now be moderated. Thanks jackass.

    This blog was inspired by The Rules of Attraction. I really like that sequence where the guy is just listing his day of action in short brief statements.

  7. Derek Steele Says:

    Don’t be so uptight. Come on out. Be yourself.::awesome::

  8. Jeremiah Says:

    Derek: You lose.

    Bryan: Yes, that is why. Thank Derek.

    A serious thank you for your offer, but I don’t want your money. Passes are only sold during the first and last four days of a month, so I can’t buy one now anyway.

    Life of a student, never a dull moment it seems. Get some sleep, all things are clearer after?::idea::lol

    So Jeremiah, although you said that all posts here are now being “moderated” by you, we see posted above a blatant advertisement for an insurance agency! What gives here, and why? Are you receiving a cut of the commissions? Please, tell us, your faithful readers, the truth about this!

  11. David Troyer Says:

    I’d say given some of the hostility (political or otherwise, which is definitely Jeremiah’s prerogative) in the posts on this blog, one can only expect some of the same in the comments. For this I’m surprised it hasn’t progressed to moderated comments before now.

  12. Jeremiah Says:

    Ayn: What are you talking about?

    David: The moderation was put into place because someone decided to flood my comments with rude comments directed towards me, not because I disagree with legit comments that oppose me.

  13. David Troyer Says:

    Oh, I missed that part ;-) cheers
