Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Man, I need some mental recharging.

You should go to New Orleans and drink beer and eat amazing food.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Some people try to pick up girls and get called an asshole; this never happened to Pablo Picasso.

I see what you did there.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I'm sure it was at least partially the competence thing with Picasso: I bet you could watch him draw forever.

Well, if I had an El Dorado that was the color of an avocado I might've gotten the same benefit of the doubt.

Happy birthday, brenda! I hope today everybody makes sure to tell you how awesome you are.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The Occupiers here on campus mostly have signs about lowering tuition. They've got a point about tuition being too high, but I'd have a bit more respect for them as an Occupy movement if somewhere in their signs they'd have something about how a whole lot of maintenance and cleaning and office jobs here were cut in the last round of budget cuts.

Apparent Duke (my former workplace) has an Occupy encampment. Which is very funny, since the main goal in life of a plurality of Duke students has traditionally been to be an investment banker.
