So I'm thumbing through my CD collection, picking out music for the roadtrip today, and I exclaim, "Hey, I do have 'War'!"
See, I have this problem, where I don't have a full mental catalog of everything I own. In fact, I once borrowed a Gin Blossoms CD from Kate, only to realize that I already owned it. I'm paranoid to buy anything that's not on my to-buy list, because I fear I'll end up buying something I already have.

I really hate school elections. What's the point of plastering political signs all over? Name recognition? What, so people recognize your name on a ballot and remember to vote for you?

So, I'm working at the Service Center tonight, when we get a complaint about someone looking at porn in one of the side clusters. Not really uncommon, we usually try to grab their name and kick them out.

Except, this upstanding gentleman was using the teaching station at the front of the room. The teaching station is hooked up to the ceiling mounted data projector, which had been left on. Which meant the porn he was looking at was being PROJECTED ON THE MAIN WALL for everyone to see! Oddly enough, none of the 6 or 7 people in the cluster said anything, save the one gal who complained to us.

"They were giving away free flip-flops, but you had to buy a shirt and shorts to get them. And I may allow myself to buy a bag, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna' toddle around wearing an AE shirt AND shorts, too. I'll buy flip-flops at Target."

As ya'll have no doubt guessed, that mythical figure known as my sister has an author account on fiddle2 now. I'm kind of wondering how long it'll be before she takes over the place I have to spin her off into her own blog. =)

Well, I haven't really been keeping up here, even though there have been several moments of "I should blog about this" in the last few days. For now, I'll just cover the one I thought of last night.
I like leaves that have fallen from trees. And I don't mean the fall leaves that have just landed after turning some sort of brilliant color, and sit resting round a thousand other brilliantly-colored, newly-fallen leaves. I'm talkin' about a leaf that fell last autumn, and has been hanging out all winter, dried and wrinkled, sitting all by itself on the sidewalk. I like them because they just sit there for hours on end, hanging out on the sidewalk; they always seem to decide to catch the wind only when you're about to walk past them. Like they don't see the point in dancing across the pavement unless there's someone there to watch. You see, they may be brown (which most people wouldn't quite call a "brilliant" color), but they're dried, so they're lighter. When they blow across the pavement, they jump around a little. Let's see your "brilliantly colored" fall leaves do that.

Comments:
"I just love you, bunnybear. Yep. I like dancing leaves, too. You should write that into a column for The Spectrum, and make some money off your brilliantly-colored thoughts."

"The Spectrum can kiss my skinny ass."
     -trav   [2002-03-04 15:27:04]
"Your thoughts and sense of observation remind me of one of the most poignant movies I have ever seen:"American Beauty"- the dance of the plastic bag caught on camera. "There is so much Beauty around me I think my heart will break". That's how I feel most of the time. This life is magical and diamonds are scattered on our path, if we could only notice... I rest peaceful knowing that there are people like you, Travis. "
