I really need to start calling the police more often.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/11/26/LIQUOR.TMP

Would you call the police if you saw a dude get off the bus at the same time as you, pull a 5-iron golf club out of nowhere, flip it around a few times and then return it to a hidden position in one of his pant legs?

I didn't...

Wow, I don't do these things. What's wrong with me? My procrastination is having to evolve I guess...

Fascinating factoid of today: my current bottle of shampoo was purchased in May of 2004.

17 months and it's still going. Honestly, I do wash my hair!

Cereal is my comfort food. The obsession is unbelievable. It's my breakfast, it's dessert after a perfectly filling meal, and it's often a midnight snack. I find myself wondering a lot what makes a comfort food such...did they exist prior to mass manufactured food? What was comfort food for Lucy? I'm sure she had the same psychological need at times that I have. One of the most important aspects of comfort food must be that it's like a perfect friend, always there, very pleasant, and ready to tend to you with minimal effort.

I guess this means that cereal is my new best friend. Maybe I should consider again bridging that cultural divide between myself and my roommates, and all of their culturally aligned friends.

So a rumination that I've always had, whenever I'm walking on a familiar route, with at least a semi-determined intent to get to my destination, is what exactly my state of mind will be when I reach certain points along the route? What's it going to feel like when I pass that tree 200 feet ahead? What about the possibility that I never _will_ pass that tree 200 feet ahead?

Truly, it's the most believable method of seeing the future. Since there's very little chance that I _won't_ pass that tree, and since I know pretty much what it will feel like to walk on by, I have this weird sensation of being aware of the future. There's just a very small chance that I'll be wrong.

Why has this captured my fascination for so long? The first time I remember ever being struck by it was in 5th grade, walking past my elementary school's music room. The most recent...well, about an hour ago, walking across my university campus.

On another hand, I've been taking and printing mad photos. Thank god for finally getting my hands dirty!

In the main stacks, trying to write a paper.

A woman just came in and swabbed down a 10 foot section of table with handwipes before she would set her stuff on it. Oddly enough, she is unpacking all that stuff from a bag sitting on the floor. Hypochondriac much?

It's certainly great procrastination fodder though.

So, UC Berkeley decidedly needs to pay some people to come down from Washington or Oregon and teach fucking umbrella etiquette. I swear to you, they're goddamned umbrella drones. And they're everywhere. I'm not sure I'll make it through the week with my eyes intact.

In other news, my art teacher is in love with the prototypical morose art geek who is a decently intelligent girl, but excellent at dropping names of historical artists.

"Adrianna, what do you think of this piece?"
"Blah blah blah blah blah."
"Oh, yes...that's a very astute observation. Mmm hmm. Yes. Good! Absolutely... [Come into my office and let me fuck your artsy indie brains out.]"

I'm so fucking tired of art.

"Umm, like...this represents me, because, like...it looks like me. You know?"

"The crack in her painting must represent internal conflict. Blah fucking blah [15 minutes later] Actually, I had it up on a shelf last night and it fell off...I couldn't redo it this morning so I just glued it together."

Okay, complaints done. Hi!

Plant seeds....and leave them.

That's all I have to say.

As a watched pot never boils, a watched seed never blossoms. Plant 'em and watch what happens.

DON'T VOTE, PARTICIPATE!

So here's the deal. Everyone says go out and VOTE for the president, but FUCK THAT.

Most of you (!?) are from Northern California, which means your vote for president really doesn't have any significance. It's pretty much already decided.

The other offices and measures on your ballot are much more significant and relevant things for you to vote on.

But still, WE ALL CARE ABOUT GETTING THAT FUCK UP OUTTA HERE, right?

So here's the deal: GO JOIN A MOVEON CALLER PARTY TOMORROW FOR A FEW HOURS!!! They've got call lists of people in swing states, and just think, if you call 20 people and get 10 of them to go out and vote, well shit that's pretty damn significant compared to your one vote. Plus it looks like good fun!

I've been thinking.

And so have others apparently.

Friday night/Saturday morning should see a recommencement of cool-people Denny's pandomonium. Tess Bryant, among many others, should attend. It seems she disappeared awhile back, and should make a grand reappearance.

Those not present in Sonoma County should have a sibling Denny's get-together at the same time, and our various groups can be together in spirit.

Let's make plans...

Kid Jem here. Okay, so here's the swing. 5 hours ago, making the ritual trip to the post office in order to prolong the return to a slightly stressful homelife, and what arrives but a postcard from the sis. I'm not too sure how long its been since I've seen her; something on the order of a week, but who keeps precise track of the days anyway? The family said she was at camp or something...

It had occured that she wasn't around recently, but the little gal is so busy who ever knows if she's taken off away somewhere, or just at one of her multitude of various activities. As the famed Nina Acuna has said, a postcard was a pleasant surprise and a joy to read. The big shocker? Postmarked Lakewood, Wisconsin. A few quick, mundane sentences scrawled about how sleeping is difficult as a traveler and how long highway rides start to hurt, along with a photo on the front of a big arrow sign pointing out over a lake. (Which has something to do with the state's motto, apparently.)

I'm at a loss as to why she left, period, and why to Wisconsin of all places. Everyone we know from Wisconsin has ended up divorced, on drugs, ditched by their parents or blackmailed for money. And that's just one family... Except for the girl who graduated second in her class at NYU only to move on to law school at Stanford. From the same family...

That's all beside the point however, because the sis was four years of age the only time she ever saw Wisconsin, and we still don't know how the fuck she got back there.

She says she's been swimming in a lot of drip pools (??), and that they're drinking coffee with a minimum of 4 sugar cubes to each cup. Crazy fucking kid...

I wish I had the balls to do this at that age. Should I tell the family? Can anyone afford a plane ticket to Wisconsin?

Jesus...

Is anyone coming to the velvet teen show tonight?

Need a ride, or want to pool up?

I would be sad to go alone...

Call me today, prior to 5. 303-6807

If anyone wants to spend Friday in Santa Cruz with someone whose initials are SEL, please informe me shortly.

My ideal candidate would be between 14 and 28 years of age, have a car that gets better than 18 miles to the gallon, and have an awesomely free Friday. I have gas money. I have a car available, but at current gas prices anything that could drive more cheaply would be awesome.

I need to give a bit of a chance to the UC there...see what they're all about.

Let me know if you'd be interested in going with me!! Woo hoo.

So I feel like a stagnant human being. There's way too much going on for how little of significance is going on. I wake up and want to do fascinating things. I wake up and I do dull, monotonous, repetitive things.

And I'm living in a fucking pigsty. I'd clean it, but the thought is just way too daunting.

I think the stagnance and mess go hand in hand. One (either) can fix the other (the other), I guess?

I think I just developed a crush on the president of a wine company. Wha wha wha?

In other news, God I hope I'm not fucked schoolwise. I think I can pull through...

Sat, 01 May 2004 03:35:38 GMT

Here can be my future. What do I do?

q University of California Santa Cruz
q University of California Berkeley
~~q University of California Los Angeles~~
q Forget school and fuck the world up for a year

Exactly the most difficult decision I could have encountered. And I knew it would end up with these three possible choices...
