1) "This is an Aderol week" -statement overheard in the Quadrangle made by some eager beaver student.
2) From News of the Weird:
"Police in Danville, Ky., reported that on Jan. 28 a Dairy Queen customer successfully passed a piece of make-believe U.S. currency in the denomination of $200 and featuring a center picture of George W. Bush. The customer offered the bill to pay for a food charge of $2.12, and the DQ employee, luckily unnamed, handed her 197.88 in change. The Secret Service said it would not file counterfeiting charges because the bill was so crude it would be dificult to prove to a jury that it could be confused with real currency."
Life is indeed amusing.
3) I listened in to "Combat Rock" last night. For those who do not know, it is the KLSU punk rock show hosted by our very own Josh, Taylor & Evan. I called in & asked for Nation Of Ulysses & then Youth Of Today but neither was in stock. Oh well. Next time I will try the Get-Up Kids . . . ha, ha. It was heartwarming to hear those wacky fellas "send a shout out to Rick" as I climbed into my bed.
I am dissapointed with myself because I never got into some kind of garage band. Partly because I think it would have been a lot of fun but also because the kind of sound I thought some band ought to have, never came out. It would have been a rhythm oriented band with music sounding like "Waiting Room" by Fugazi or the last thirty seconds of "Testure" by Skinny Puppy or a lot of old-school Jamaican rock-steady songs. I have noticed that they have a lot of rolling bass lines. Then again, given my goofiness maybe it was a good thing I never got into that. I would have tried to sample home appliances & zoo animals. Besides, my musical tastes change every six months anyway.
4) Being single suxx
Gen [ url ] said at 9:59 AM 03-08-2001: Being single rocks! Especially when you're only technically single and you're really in a strange relationship with some poor sucker that's 2000km away. It's great: you get all the emotional security that comes with being in a relationship, and all the perks or being free and available, i.e. you can go out and get hit on left and right with nobody gets jealous and there's no guilt involved. And you can even use your invisible significant other as an excuse to ditch the uninteresting fools that won't buy the other 1000 reasons why you're not interested/they're not interesting.
Day Of Rickoning said at 12:51 PM 03-08-2001: Not to show any disrespect, o jaunty one, but that sounds somewhat exploitative. I have done that before & it blew up in my face because the other person was doing it as well. No, what really irks me about being single is the constant uneasiness of being alone. Let me say that I do tend towards being antisocial but at the same time, it is nice to have a little affection now & then. It might be that my true problem is shyness but I am not sure what there is to be done about personality traits.
Gen said at 12:23 AM 03-09-2001: It's a quintet if you consider Jaunty Gen as an independent agent.
It was a originally a duo, then a quartet, then a quintet (which still starts with Q so no problem) but changing it to the Sexy Sextet to accommodate the addition of Maia to the group would just sound really silly.
And Rick, I misrepresented the poor sucker. He really isn't a poor sucker and neither one of us is being exploitative, only realistic about the hopelessness of our long-distance relationship.
So we're both keeping our options open, meanwhile we're planning to reunite in Montreal this summer and stock up on some lovin'.
