rainy days and mondays

10-24-'^o1: 8:22pm

i think i've figured it out. there is this large piece of cloth in front of the art building...half of it is blue, half of it is pink. i've been here for a month and just about every time i pass it with someone, they ask "what on earth is that thing for, anyway?" the music students...you'd think that they'd have a little more right-brained thought but they always seem to lean toward the practical. after seeing it draped and arranged in quite a few different ways, i have come to the the conclusion that it is the art building's public display of simple creativity.

regardless...art continues to confuse me.

as does just about everything else. after a rather dissapointing yet useful trip home this weekend, i came back to the cold and wind in cheney. i was having a decent day until my roommate got back from shoping in spokane and asked to talk to me.

"i like you a lot...but i just think that kim and i would live better together." yup...that's right. it all kind of boiled down to the fact that i'm...well...i'm a little too boring. and after discussing the matter at legnth with the hall manager, we have arranged that her and kim will move into a room that will become vacant at the end of the quarter. this will leave me alone in a room until they find someone else.

then the storm rolled in. chelsea jinxed us all when i mentioned that it was windy in cheney and she said "windy? that's a breeze...come on! you're from the tri-cities!" the wind blew...and blew...and blew, and the rain came down. around 10pm, our power went out. what did that mean? it was time for everyone to run around and be as loud as possible. this lasted even after the lights came back on...i eventually went to the lobby to escape. i do not forsee myself living in the dorms next year.

when i got on the subject of roommates and dorm life with brett, he gave me an excelent suggestion. when people on his floor were being loud, he had a creative way of shutting them up:

"i would just put on one of my drum corps recordings and turn it up all the way...then i would lock my door and leave with a friend and go bowling or something."

very nice. i'll remember that one. i wonder how many times the kids on my floor would have to hear holsinger's "abram's pursuit" before they go completely nuts. muahahaha.
