Love Comes in an Email

What's the world coming to these days...

Tonight I will be attending yet another Sea Hawk basketball game but not before completing my "experiment" for psychology. See...part of the requirements for the class is that you subject yourself to the torment of the psychology department's pointless and boring surveys. I spent a hour reading case files and judging guilt or innocence yesterday and today I'll get to "rate words." Gee, wonder what that can mean? I'm serious...that's really vague. They just tell me I have to rate words....HOW? OH that's a good word...I give it a ten! I can handle that kind of stuff. Of course it'll be something like how the word makes me feel and rate the severity of that feeling. I hope they don't mind my putting "mind numbingly bored" as a rating for practically every word.

Roach told me a funny story today. He was waiting at the crosswalk in front of the Rec center on his bike when out of nowhere this kid on bike rocketed into him from behind. Roach fell into a crumpled heap over the top of his bike and the other kid sped off and turned his head to say "my bad" on the way. Totally dumbfounded by what had happened Roach just lay there for a second...then, in typical fashion, hopped back on his bike and blazed a trail to class behind the bike kid. He caught up with him in front of his classroom building and apparently had an exchanging of words. Roch was like,
"Hey you. that was rude back there."
"Oh dude, my brakes aren't working man, sorry"
"But you just sped off. You didn't even come back to help me up. That's rude dude."
Of course I'm censoring the various explicatives that were in the original dialogue but you get the point. He said he just wanted to let the kid know how rude he was and said that the kid still didn't get it. He just didn't want to get killed so he agreed and departed.

I added a new shirt to my store and I have to say, it's delightful and I want one. It's a Schwartz Hall shirt (the dorm I live in) and its just freaking awesome. You should check it out. If you haven't already I highly recommend that you take the two seconds to subscribe to my online shop's newsletter. It is just below the archives on the sidebar. A little Sloan spam never hurt anyone.

I'll grind your bones to make my...
PORRIDGE!

Haha psyc experiments. I'm running those this semester. Have a blast. Also, come visit Chicago. We could paint the town red...or an equally exciting color.

Devin here, and I gotta tell you, Nathan, I can see that kind of freak bicycle accident happening around here. The only thing worse than an asshole is an asshole on wheels! :-)

Also, I'm looking forward to your new movie reviews. You really ought to do a series of "$5.50" reviews for The Flicker. Have fun in Blogville!
