The less I watch television, the more I realize how time consuming it is. This is causing me to go by the wayside while trying to watch my extensive list of favorites. I have to rectify this problem immediately before my mind draws a blank when I'm supposed to know pointless trivia about such things.

I've never seen anybody take 12 inches like that. What a champ.
Fine. She was just eating a foot long sub on the bus. Savage.

M&M's appear to be the dinner choice for this week. One week of M&M's and Diet Pepsi. The shit one will eat, at school, as they pull countless all nighters for final projects. I don't ever remember being at school for this long in one day. The latest I've ever stayed was 12:00am. As of now, 4:00am has been the latest and I still go home, just to come back in about five hours. At least after all of this I am pleased with the end result. I have a feeling that if I had all of the stuff that I use at school, at home, I'd probably spend more time doing it. Perfectionism is a bitch.

Broken English is only humorous if the person is new to the country. After that, all bets are off. Those lazy inconsiderate bastards should know better.

I won't say that I'm a pack rat. I have a lot of shit. Let me rephrase that. I'm more of a collector that happens to accumulate various things. Artists tend to do this a little more than your average person. It's that inherent curse of being creative. I'm still not convinced that everything can be art because if it could be, everybody would be an artist and everything they do would be art and that's just not so. These things can and will be used for something, it's just not planned out yet.

Death by Giordano's
We ordered a cheese pizza with spinach, sausage, and jalapeño peppers. I'm the last one to ever back down from anything claiming to be hot or spicy, but you could barely see anything besides the jalapeño peppers. There were more of those than the sausage and spinach combined. Seeds in that many peppers only equals trouble. I couldn't stop sweating and I was informed that my face was turning red. Then my head got warm. I'm convinced they tried to do us in.

The contaminated coughing bandits strike again and always end up behind me. It never fails. I've lost count now. Making the little hair on the back of my neck blow around. I can hear liquid substances rattling around in their lungs. The only thing that stops me from moving is not being able to tell of they're crazy. Crazy people have a tendency to get louder if they think you're doing something because of them or so I've seen.

Compressed images that are all squished after being altered disproportionately are actually used in some parts of the world. (*cough* Other art students. There is no hope.) Just not on this site.

Vacancy
Epiphanies are always welcomed, preferably before an obscene amount of time has been spent. Perfect timing. Almost.

Lately this has been getting ample usage. It'll pay itself off in no time. Just the thought of what can be done with 160 gigabytes.

Half of art students smoke and drink coffee because of the lack of sleep. In general, we stay at school too long working on projects. I don't smoke. I only drink coffee for the taste and rarely have any. Sweet pipe tobacco smells good. . .

Stupid proof cash registers are here, as I noticed today. When the change amount is listed, there's an illustration of the cash drawer on the cashier's screen that tells them which section to get bills and coins from. It's worse that the makers think they need an illustration. What's a math?

It's finally warm enough for people to wear things that they shouldn't wear in the first place. Ever. Too tight T-shirts. Too short shorts. Ugly attire that only they think is unique. That's where people get confused because they think it's unique, so it's good. Not the case. When others follow, they don't know any better. That's why they follow. There has been more shit hanging from the bottom of T-shirts today. Clothes come in different sizes for this very reason.

Crossed lines my ass
No more about green tea diets, bastard children, or disrupting my internet connection. That must've been one hell of a cordless phone. Bitch. I could write a book about this. After five days of that I probably know her better than she knows herself. Then I found out she lives about two blocks away. I think the telephone guy is trying to start something. (*cough* SBC) It probably was all his fault anyway. Troublemaker.

No, this food obviously didn't come from anywhere on this campus. It doesn't resemble slop and it's actually hot. You'd be surprised what kind of digestive options exist beyond these walls. Try it. You might like it a little too much. *maniacal laughter ensues*

A computer a lab gets too much use when it holds the aroma of a dirty sock. Hell, maybe it's just the dirty people. I'm about this far from a can of Lysol. Now, what to use for the room.

My sister and I were having a discussion about how everything is fine while you're taking pictures until a tripod is involved. People see a tripod and automatically think of a professional. Nosing around like dumbfounded children. Slowly walking by and observing. That kind of stuff killed the cat.

If I could buy shares in Helix, I might come out even. The money I spend could cancel out the money from the stocks, since they would be worth more from my splurges.

Spending that much money on crap was an isolated incident. I've reeled myself in now. Composure has been gained. It was just a moment of weakness. The vending machine made me do it.

Sidewalk smearing (From pets, hopefully.) appears to be more prevalent in the ritzier parts of town. This is baffling because being rich usually has something to do with cleanliness. It all means nothing now. These are the same people who think that their restroom germs are supposed to be spread around. I bet they don't know the "front to back" rule either, if they bother to do it at all.

There seems to be no end to this strange shit madness, so I may as well document it for my own amusement.
The day started with some lady on the bus and her head was shaved from the middle top to the bottom, near her neck. She mumbled something while she moved around to get off at any bus stop and there was a bag on her left foot. She also had a hammer.
Some guy got on the bus and rolled a cigarette before he paid his fare. (I should've known he was going to be a problem.) Then he switched seats and ended up sitting in front of me. (Figures. I'm starting to feel like a freak magnet.) He opened a bottle of pop and continued to drink it for about two minutes until it was gone. He kept turning the bottle up to his mouth as if he'd missed a few drops. By this point, the bottle was all sucked in, but maybe he saw something that the rest of us didn't. A couple of people looked around. Then he started to cough and gag a bit. His fingers were a little brown at the tips.
A lady sitting near the front of the bus told the bus driver to slow down because she obviously thought we were going off of the side. All I needed was some hysteric to overreact on there, plus The Cigarette Hack that sat in front of me.
On the way home, a homeless lady decided that she needed to sit next to us, while we waited for the bus, and mumble a bit. Then she coughed, wheezed, and released. Shit. When the bus got there, she left. (She could've tried that five minutes prior.)
Finally, a little boy said, "I am Jesus."

Just when you thought things wouldn't get any stranger. . .then they do.
There are a variety of strange people downtown, mostly crazy people. He walked down the sidewalk, trying to walk the pace of the people who passed him. Then some lady ran past him, as if she were trying to get somewhere in a hurry. He began to run right behind her. She turned the corner and he stopped and crossed the street, then propped himself against a light pole.
I'd like to know how she would've reacted if she saw him.

I always see a guy near school that sales StreetWise. (Those damned people are everywhere.) He's there almost everyday and always says, "Hi." Today, after he said, "Hi.", he followed it with:
StreetWise Guy: I saw you by Union Station about a week ago. You were with somebody else.
Me: Oh. . .
StreetWise Guy: *sort of mutters the same thing*
Me: *walks by rather swiftly because people keep testing me to see if they'll get kicked in the head*
