Today I am having conflicts with my desk. Yes, I know my desk is an inanimate object, and I therefore have little excuse to be arguing with it, but I am. It’s amazing how I can argue with anything — computers, piles of paper, bike grease on my pants, etc. Anyway, the keyboard drawer on my desk sucks. It doesn’t slide out as far as I want it to, leaving my hands rather cramped as I type. I still haven’t figured out the best way to fix this because I’ve been too lazy to deal with it, but seeing as how each day it seems to slide out less and less leaving me more and more annoyed as I type, I think the time has come to deal with this problem. I need some WD-40.
Have you ever stopped to think about fixing something, and realized that most of the world’s problems could be entirely solved using only WD-40 and duct tape?
Tonight i am going to Flicks. It should be quite interesting. See, Flicks is this organization that shows good (or just recent) movies in Memaud at 7:00 and 10:00 on Sunday nights, and it is a really popular thing to go to; it’s touted as “what could be better than watching a movie with 1700 of your friends?” The early one is the tame showing — the one you attend if you actually want to see the movie. 10:00 is more rambunctious, famous for massive paper fights and appearances by the marching band and people saying the lines with the movie and yelling at the characters onscreen. Basically everything you’re not supposed to do in a real movie theater. I figure it should either be really fun, or really obnoxious.
Last night I went with Valerie and her mom and her mom’s friend to see The Fleet Street Singers, one of the many acapella groups here. They were awesome! Now, Georgia Tech had one male and one female acapella group, and they weren’t bad…but geez, this group last night was incredible. This concert happened to be their 20 year reunion concert, and so there were many alumni who were back to sing with the new guys, and man, there are some really talented men in that group. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

So it seems my hundred day experiment in journal keeping has stuck. I came home with this need to write some mindless banter, even though I already wrote something earlier today.
So I went to Flicks tonight and it was really fun. I swear, people must save their newspapers for the entire week, and then hit the stands again right before they come to Flicks, because I’ve never seen so much newsprint flying around. There are paper fights everywhere, rolls of toilet paper flying through the air, and people shouting right along with the movie…or just mocking it. Before it started, they held a four-person Mario Kart contest. I was very amused.
Anyway, I went with this guy I met a couple weeks ago. He seems pretty cool. We ran into some of his friends, so we all sat together.
See, I told you this would be boring. Ugh. Well, off to finish my math homework. I predict it will take…hmm…an hour. We’ll see.
