I am surrounded in dark blue, and I am at peace. Allow me to explain.

Saturday I woke up with an extreme earlyness (on second thought, better make that XTRĒM) to move out of my apartment and into my new closer-to-campus-cheaper-own-room-foosball-tinged paradise. It took me all day to move, and by all day I mean the entire time that the sun was above the horizon and then a few hours after it had plunked into the Pacific.

But, no use complaining, because now all my stuff was here, and it was time to paint. I proceeded to move half my stuff to the hall closet, the rest into the center of the room, and then I started hitting the trim hard with the masking tape. Oh, that was after I took all the hardware off the walls. Regardless. That was Sunday. I also slept a lot, because of said physical hardships on Saturday.

Then Courtney came over, and we turned my room into smurf land. We did a good job. So it’s dark blue (the swatch from home depot says sapphire glow) with white trim. Lovely. Then I had a good vegetarian burrito in Cat Heaven, and life is happy.

I don’t have a bed yet, so I’m sleeping on the couch. I also don’t have a dresser, or shelves, so there’s a suitcase over yonder. Getting a bed is a huge hassle, especially when your car’s trunk is just inches too small to hold former item. I found a lot of ads on craigslist, so maybe I’ll just somehow tie it to the top of the roof and cruise down the 101 in style. I really need to get a bed tomorrow morning before class, but somehow I doubt that’s going to happen.

Anyway, now my computer and stuff is all setup, so I can resume indentured servitude to any number of causes, in order:

  • WiFiLand
  • KSCR phoenix project

and, making a new appearance

  • not-yet-codenamed KSCR music database project

Oh and there’s also school, or something. But my classes are easy. So. Is this what it’s like to be a liberal arts major? Now wonder they have those fraternaties and stuff. Have to keep themselves occupied.

I kid you not. I had my first psychology midterm today, which was after about 15 minutes of studying and a large drip coffee at commons. I didn’t even read the book, just kind of stared at the pictures and such, and then Wopek was there so I talked to her for a minute. I went to take the test, and the professor told us to manage our time well during the exam. I laughed at his pointy irony hat because he was late to class. Anyway, I managed myself into finishing first, in half the alloted time. I know, I know, it’s not a race, but there was happy California sunshine waiting for me outside while I waited for everyone else. I will allow USC’s installation of Blackboard to speak for itself re: my performance.

    How could we forget Rhapsody in Blue? Gershwin felt left out, that’s all.

    pssh, how could you leave out the most obvious, Chris…

    Yo listen up: here’s a story
    About a little guy
    That lives in a blue world
    And all day and all night and everything he sees is
    Just blue like him inside and outside
    Blue his house with a blue little window

    =D I hope none of y’all get it stuck in your head..

    I’m blue (da ba dee)
