From baptism to alcohol
hi everyone. here i am, at my very favourite of all places: the library. What is usually a pleasurable experience has me riddled with irritation. On my quest for the collected plays of samuel beckett, i have searched the library in a wild goose chase for said collection. i thought that i was just missing some call number that was visible only to those patient enough to see it. nah. i finally asked a librarian for assistance. much to my delight, she couldn't find the bloody thing either. i was delighted in knowing that i wasn't being some aggrevated crack head, it really was a devil of a thing to find. finally, we found it mixed in with the movie section, not in the literary 800's as logic would think it to be. weird. at least i wasn't the only one who found it boggling. now if only i can find Casete/410/CHO. grrr. in spite of all of that, i really do love the library. so i am back in chicagoish now. my travels to minnesota were nice, though i felt really ill yesterday, so i returned a day sooner than anticipated. i wouldn't mind being sick in minnesota, per se, i just didn't want to occupy the couch of my cousin and his flat mate. i didn't want to be in the way so i thought it best to hop in the car, sing silly songs, and head on home. i didn't speed or anything, i was so proud. i tend to go a bit fast, esp on the highways and biways of america. I have heard many a horror story about Wisconsin police though. If you don't pay the $200 speeding ticket on site, you are taken into custody. can you imagine, me being arrested? though were i to be arrested, it would be for something lame like that. Inmate #1: I am in for murdering my husband and his 9 gay lovers with a spoon, I'm innocent though, I swear! Inmate #2: I am in for selling heroin to 6 year olds, I'm innocent though, I swear! Me: Um, I'm in for.....going 73 in a 65...guilty as charged. see, lame. ah well. i s'pose i should go and search for noam chomsky now. grrr. sodding dewey and his fucking decimals...or lack thereof in this case. irritating. kevin, you are a library science major...help me!!! jay with an e....you work in a law library, any advice? oh yes. to clarify something. in my last post, the really angry one (as my posts go anyway), i mentioned writing a dissertation. i used dissertation in a "lengthy paper often assigned to college or university student" way more than a doctoral thesis kind of way. no graduate school yet i'm afraid. ah well. i must go, it's someone else's turn i gather from the evil stare from this girl next to me. love and decimals ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
