FB Chat and Smelly Campus

For some inexplicable reason, i'm very tired. It was hard getting out of bed today and going to class. Once in class, my mind was all over the place. My second class is a long two hours. Usually, i'm pretty good at keeping on task...not today. At the hour mark, i ended up daydreaming of various things. At one point i calculated the amount of sleep i had. It's only 6 hours. I've definitely had worse. I don't know. I think we were talking about rats in a box, pulling some lever, but i was in my own world. I also realized today that it's really easy to look tired. It's all mental. You can consciously make your eyes droop, put your head down, etc. All you have to do is exhibit the characteristics of a sick person. The thing is, once you are in that slump, you have to get out. I hate staying in that kind of mood all day. When the class was over, i came back and looked at myself in the mirror. My friend told me that i looked sick and tired. Am I? I don't know. I think i feel sick because yesterday night, i had pizza. I know that my stomach doesn't hold well when there are late-night snacks. I still ate anyways. Papa John's is amazing. The only reason i had pizza was because i needed something to munch on while i was papering. Amazingly, i wrote two papers yesterday night. At 1.30-ish, i was done with everything and able to hop into bed.

I'm not sure how i feel about the new fb chat. I didn't even know about it until my friend told me this morning. I was slightly intrigued and then bothered. It's too much connection for me. I don't know if i want to talk to other people while i'm on fb. I guess i just like to think of chat and fb as two different entities. It's also hard for me to multi-task. That's why when i study, i can't listen to music or have high-speed internet. With high-speed connection you can cam, youtube, stream music; it's a world of countless possibilities! Basically, it's a chance for you to jump on the procrastination band wagon. Something of which i do regularly. Another procrastination thing i do is watch t.v. It gets harder as the year progresses because of the massive amount of work i'm swimming in. For instance, i love love Dancing with the Stars. I've missed so many episodes that i'm now too behind to catch up. I just found out that one of my favorite couples got the boot. The list of casualities - Priscilla Presley, Adam Carolla, Steve Guttenberg, Monica Seles and Penn Jillette - now include Marlee Matlin. She was the really pretty, deaf dancer on the show. She had great rhythm. I guess it wasn't enough because her mambo performance was "off."

You know what else is, "off?" Well, the smell of my campus. I want to make this clear - my FRIEND pointed this out. There are certain trees on campus that i think smell like shrimp. Nasty, right? My friend thinks it smells more like fish. It's the same category, so we're both on the same page. Here comes my other friend saying that it doesn't smell like shrimp but more like semen! Isn't that nasty? I wasn't sure what she was saying (or rather, smelling). We were walking to the lab and all of a sudden she stops. She starts to do a mini-crouch with her arms and feet out. This is when she says, "it's semen!" I went to the very spot she stood, but to me it didn't smell like anything? She said that her bf told her that it smelled like semen first. Those are excuses, excuses! I really want to find out where it's coming from. I'm now intrigued. She also says that there are leaves near the library that smell like apples! Isn't that nice. The only thing is that we don't have any apple trees on campus. Nonetheless, it's very delightful. I have to check this find out. The one thing i really like about my campus is that it's green. It's definitely very scenic. I love the trees and shade. The downfall is that there are tons and tons of birds and squirrels. Bird/squirrel sex is kind of disturbing. I'll just leave it at that.

Onto news. Don't you miss it? I've been so busy that i've neglected one of the things i like doing the most. What a shame. Today's news is a lesson on toilet safety. A New Yorker using a toilet at his son's home when water erupted from the commode and threw him against a wall. Apparently, there was steam coming from the toilet, followed by hot water springing out from the plumbing fixture that propelled him a few feet into the wall of the shower. He was reported to be dizzy but uninjured. [read more here] Lesson? If you hear or see stuff coming from the toilet, you get the heck out of there. Forget about your pants! It's safety first! You won't be wearing anything if you end up dead! Holy cow. It makes me check out the toilet before i take a crapper next time. That mess is dangerous. If it propelled me into my shower wall, i would probably injure myself. Not to mention the embarrassment you'll suffer! Jeez. It is a true travesty if a toilet took your life. Since i'm on the subject of toilets, i came across i really neat house.

It's a toilet shaped house! Isn't that too funny. There are so many good possibilities for punny jokes that i don't even know where to begin. The house was built by Sim Jae-duck, the chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association, and he hopes his toilet house will highlight the global need for better sanitation. So, there's a logical reason why this house was built. Interestingly enough, the Toilet-Shaped house is named Haewoojae, which signifies in Korean “a place of sanctuary where one can solve one’s worries." It's actually a really neat concept. I kind of wonder who occupies this space. Is it even occupied? Or is it just a statement/landmark?

Cute picture of the day.


Yum, yum, sunny-side up. I personally like the piggies.
