So what do I do when I’m bored yet have tons of homework to do? I blog. About absolutely random things.
I didn’t watch the debates last night. Gasp in fright! I know who I’m voting for. What will raising my blood pressure so close to bed help? I donated, got my button. I’ve also try avoiding coverage of anything election related. I expanded that ban to include the economy. Until I have to knit my own socks there’s really nothing to be done. By me at least.
Funny Observation: I was gathering my belongings and self to get off at Lake and I took an inventory of the people around me. This is really the best part of riding public trans, not just for the crazies, but observing the average person, what they’re doing (I always do a reading/blackberry survey, more readers in the am, more blackberries in the pm), what they look like (many attractive “average” people out there) and of course what they wear. There were three North Face fleeces standing next to each other waiting to get out and one other unidentifiable fleece. Stuff White People Like #87. I can’t talk, I was wearing one too, but in my defense it wasn’t North Face and I stole it fair and square from Lost and Found at the South Fields. I just found it amusing that three unrelated people made the exact same outerwear choice this morning (cool with light rain).
So I did something very Library today. I waited to shelve a bunch of books all at once. And I put them on a cart and rolled the cart to the stacks!! And yes, I’m sure you picture this is what I do all day but no. Since the Library is so small I usually just carry them over and make stacks on the ledges. But today I used the cart, as it was meant to be used. So Library.
I think the start of my Fall rut is kicking in. Its a mixture of summer regret of not doing everything I wanted to, being over the excitement of new classes, sorrow at the prospect of another Chicago winter and a little bit of self pity. It is just a blah time. Bored, bored, bored. I need stimulation.
Side note – Saw a band on Sat, Atomic Tom. Pretty good.
