sveriege

I've got a Swedish Krona coin. A homeless man gave it to me. Someone else gave it to him. Isn't that a lousy scam? Lying and saying, "Sorry man, no change," is one thing but giving him a worthless coin? Shit. The man talked me into paying his bus fare asI waited for the 42. Then he decided to go and asked if I would just give him the money anyway. I was drunk and he'd given me a nifty Swedish coin (plus he'd made the wait go by quicker by talking about a club nearby) so I fell for it. It's an easy scam; play it three times and you'll have enough money for some cheap beer.

Take a US coin out of your pocket. Hold it so the picture is facing up the right way. Now turn it over, spinning it left/right. The picture on the other side is upside down. Not so with the krona, where the picture on each side (a face and a crown) are pointing the same direction.

Sleeping till 3:00 P.M.? ... Cool.

In spite of the fact that Blogging about it may not be cool, I still chose to do so. Eric Kanagy's telephone call rudely woke me up today while I was trying to get my sleep. I then found myself in a state of shock, since I would have guessed it was five hours earlier. At least I got a healthy 12 hours of sleep.

So there's a big "get-to-know-you" thing at McFadden's tonight. Maybe if my housemates are doing other stuff and both Tasara and Helen are busy I'll go. But don't count on it.

Also, today I have to go and try to get a bank account. That should be interesting. I have a massive check for all the money I have to live off of until January. Hopefully they'll let me deposit it and give me checks. They better, fools.

Also, there are a million-and-one cool people coming to the 9:30 club. Unfortunately, I have no concert-going friends in DC. Grr. I have to make some, and quick before Lucinda Williams sells out.

Girlyman, Sept. 6 at the Brew

So, I go through these phases. Sometimes I find myself hardly ever Blogging and then other times (like now) I feel like I almost become obnoxious. Sorry if this is the case. I just felt the need to tell everybody who reads the Blog that Girlyman is returning to Goshen: "the Land where [their] conversion van was made." I really enjoyed being introduced to this band's music when they debuted at the Brew last school year (I recently bought their debut album). So if you're interested, they do their thing at 8 P.M. (I'll be there!)

"MULLET!"

Throughout the past few years I have slowly come to grips with the fact that my dad has a mullet, and he has had one for at least as long as I've been alive. I was again reminded of this fact as my dad and I were walking into a restaurant the other week when, as we were walking through the parking lot, a car drives by with its window rolled down and we hear: "MULLET!" My dad just looked confused for a second and looked at me and said, "Were they talking to you?" I answered back, "No, I have no idea whom they were talking to." Oh well, at least he's happy, living in his ignorance.

die siedler

So I played Settlers of Catan with my housemates last night. I lost, as always. But here's something I need to know: didn't we play that you could only build one road at a time? Is that a house rule or is that just in the German version? Or am I making that up? 'Cause Jeff screwed me big time by building three roads in one turn, cutting off my hopes of connecting to get the GroBelangestrasse. And I thought you weren't allowed to do that.

"Goshen College, please hold."

Monday was extremely hectic. I trained three people!!! And there were two times when all five off-campus phone lines were blinking! With that many people calling in, it's hard to remember who asked for what and so forth, prompting me to welcome somebody's call with the jarring comment: "Yes, we have sculpture."

So I hope you guys are all surviving your fall semesters. We had a big storm here in DC same as you. Knocked down trees and whatnot. I was sitting in the lounge at the law school when it happened and I laughed at all the well-dressed people scurrying in out of the pouring rain.

And while you're all partying to celebrate things, I'd advise you to keep your pants on. There's a certain individual I recall having problems with this at one point last year. Robin, we're looking at you here. And you thought I would just be kind and let you forget it...

Went to watch Tim and Jeff play on the Christ House softball team against the Office of Management and Budget Baseliners. The Christ House Batitudes lost 8 to 10, sadly. Afterwards we went to Millie & Al's in Addams-Morgan.

In other good news, Tasara emailed me back with her phone number. I was hoping she'd want to hang out.

Hey, that thing in the fountain went off pretty well, didn't it?


So the thing in the fountain went pretty well today. Good friends, good corn, good times in the water. It's always nice to see the fresh young things all 250 of them and play hackey-sack with the new Josts and Fairfields (aka the American Puppies). Thank goodness I wore the neat-o red boxers today (and, actually, yesterday, as well as the day before...) Anyway, the FMLN is now off to a grand start. A big thanks to Joel, Ben, So, Julia, Lanny, Jodi, Paul and Tim. Tim's putting a new site up--www.turail.org--for the Underground Railroader, official mouthpeice of the FMLN, and actions are forthcoming.

Oh, and there's a soccer game tonight. 7:30-ish. Bring a trashcan. And for fuck's sake, get out there and rock the gctracks.net, it's good for everybody.

The party turned out to be okay. I had to explain Mennonites. I didn't talk much. That's always the trick. People love to talk about themselves. Gay Buddhists. Jewish lesbian Bostonites. White liberal Seattlites. White Texan philosophy grad students married to white liberal Seattlites. And so on. And about 10pm everyone left to go bar hopping. Everyone except me. I went home on the metro.

Where I found Tim Kennel. He'd been in Vancouver for a family reunion for the past week but is home now. I talked to him about his job (eliminating bad addresses from Census Dept. lists), tried to find NBC (unsuccessfully so no SNL), read personal ads (some very optimistic: "looking for petite female (under 120 lbs.)"), and drank iced mint tea with vanilla Bacardi which almost was the highlight of the night.

The Self-Appointed King of Bad Timing

Well, I'm bored at the switchboard. It's Saturday and we're open because it's orientation weekend (we're also open tomorrow). I think I'm averaging about three or four calls an hour. So anyway, I was pretty bored and called up Landon and talked to him for a while. I ended that conversation with the comment, "Well, there's nobody else here so I guess I could just masturbate" (completely in jest obviously, I don't do such things at the switchboard!). So I'm sitting at the computer going through my e-mail when who else but Ron Stutzman walks out of his office. I don't know how he could have not heard my comment! Then, after he closes and locks all of the doors that he needs to, he says something to the effect of "See you later," but I swear he had this little smirk on his face as if to say "Yeah...."

For Robin

1. I think the book you mean is A Farewell to Arms. It takes place in Italy during the Great War. Can't be sure if I remember the sniper rifle (it's been a while) and there's a woman in basically every Hemmingway book (except when there's a fish), but I think that's it.
   
2. You should go for Katie Yoder. She goes to East Chestnut Street. Of course, that does mean that she's in Lancaster which does limit her geographic accesibilty, but maybe your location or hers will change. And I won't tell her ex anything about it. Steve Zimmerman is a 3L here at GW.

And the first day of classes was not too hard. My classmates are bright, but not any brighter than I am. I'll do fine.

Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

just for the record, when i answered all the questions honestly, i came up with what i believe is the most boring pirate name possible. so i lied a little to make myself look cooler. or at least more colorful.

Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

p.s. Derek interesting that you should bring up "penis puberty", i actually checked out "The Ancient Art of Genital Origami" from our very own Goshen Library last Thursday, i'll be sure to get it in on time to avoid a late fine late fine.

Okay, so I am now a law student. Katie Yoder (Sara and Jessica's older sister) warned me that there's very much an attitude here of hard drinking as a way to deal with stress. "No biggie," I thought, "same holds at Dam Green." But it is different somehow when the administrators themselves are advocating it. It's really weird.

Not sure about making friends. We have small-section legal writing and I wave at those people when I pass them on the sidewalk, but everybody here has so much money that it's kind of weird. There are probably some good people here, though; out of 1500 there has to be. I'll find them tomorrow at club breakfast. Arrr!

Also, I am writing this on my laptop which is connected through a godawful expensive wireless card. It's nifty I guess, but also kind of crazy.

The church bells outside are actually playing a tune, but I don't recognize it.

Finally, I do like my housemates and I find that I do enjoy riding the bus. It's such a low-stress way to get around, especially when all the routes run at least every ten minutes.

Lice, penis puppetry...and other fun things!

Julia Hershberger so kindly checked and she did not find one louse crawling around my scalp. I was a little paranoid because Scott Huston has them and we were just in a play together (and I bet that he's very appreciative of the fact that I just shared that with you all). The play is now over and we didn't go to Chicago and I'm going to get my bonus for working there a certain number of days (actually I have not missed a day yet!). Yay! So now I'm not exactly sure what all to do with my free time. I guess I can concentrate this next week on getting all of my shit together and moving it to the House (Formerly Known as "Vita") or 12th Street House, as the geniuses up in Student Life chose to rename it. So, my sister went (with her boyfriend and a former GC student) to a Chicago-based show entitled Puppetry of the Penis: The Ancient Art of Genital Origami where two men show off the fact that they can make their penes look like various animals and stuff. Weird. Now, I would like to conclude this e-mail by stating my annoyance at our college library for giving me a late fee for not paying my late fee in time (they gave me a week!). Maybe I'm overreacting, but to me that's a little excessive. They took $8 out of my account instead of the 3 that they should have. I feel like going bitchcakes on their asses!

We have DSL and two phone lines here at Harvard. I will be happy here. But I will need to listen to MC Solaar on Monday morning to get psyched up to meet other GW students. They seem very scary.

Thoughts from Packing Up

1. What about these white pants I bought for SST? Could they be cool? Should I bring them? They look okay with the Leonardo shirt, right? They're so wrinkled that it's hard to tell. I wish someone was here to consult me on this.
   
2. So I was putting away my pants and I heard this jingle. So I looked through the pockets.
   And then I found 26c!
   
3. Everything comes to you. I have to pack. I have to pack. I have to pack. I have to pack.
   

And now it's all packed. I'm going to run some errands, then put the boxes and bags in the garage. (Five books coming soon, I swear.)

Sorry

Sorry, Brick House, for vomiting on your bushes. Though I suppose it was probably all for the best. I learned some very important lessons. Like: don't drink so much, fool.

Today is my last day at work. I have very mixed feelings about this. I'm nervous about it, feel good about leaving some parts, feel like I'm walking out on others.

But I'm magnificently excited to be moving to DC on Saturday. Just as soon as I get done packing. I got a kid called Matthew Smucker (he came through Goshen last winter) to promise to hook me up with good people in DC, so that's a solid step towards finding friends, though I doubt they'll ever be as good as the ones I'm leaving. I'll miss you guys.

1. I usually try to be sympathetic to Goshen College staff. They have to put up with undergrads, who aren't always the most pleasant of people and they have to do rather unpleasant tasks. But I still want to ask if anyone else gets the feeling that Joy Hite secretly gloats slash fantasizes about people being "inconvenienced" by occasional closings of the physical plant.

The Town Where No One Got Off...starring Jeff Goldblum???

So, I was up at the Goshen Public Library today looking through their video selection when I noticed a familiar title, The Town Where No One Got Off. I did not know that such a thing existed. I didn't borrow it, but it might be worth checking out sometime to see how other people went about committing this to film. It is only 26 minutes long. I believe that it was originally made as an episode of the '80s show, "The Ray Bradbury Theatre." But anyway, while I was up there I picked up the movie Bambi. I have it for the next three days, so if anybody would be interested in watching it, I'll probably watch it at Brick sometime soon.

Subject to change:

It's always hard for me to choose my favorite of anything. But when asked what 5 of my favorite movies are, these are some that immediately pop into my head: The Graduate, The Producers, Swing Time, Rosemary's Baby and City Lights. I consider these to be classics that everyone should see. I own the first two, should anyone be interested in watching either of those.
