well, that’s that. classes are OVER. now i just gotta tough through finals and i’m home freeeeeeeeee.

hoohoohoooooooo. can’t WAIT.

so there’s a new (to us) dance style breaking out called krumping. for those of you unfamiliar with the term, either imagine jiggas and street hustlas decked in clown n’ gettin’ down or just read the stupid article. personally, all of this is like something out of a bad dream. a very, very bad dream. just check out the photo that MTV news decided to run with the article.

like clowns? i don’t.

Chung: I did that in the library once

Chung: in 7th grade

Chung: in one of those study rooms

Chung: and I thought it was sound proof

ivan: what in the world would motivate you to do that?!

Chung: ha ha

Chung: I don’t remember!

Chung: but like after I did it

Chung: I noticed people looking in and laughing

Chung: and the librarian came in and said

Chung: “excuse me, if you’re going to use the study room, we ask that you would be quiet and study”

Chung: and I was like……..oh…….uh…..sorry

it’s all about where your focus is.

there was this woman on the subway this morning and she was wearing a pastel pink (or if you prefer, lightish red) hardhat! how weird is that? incidentally, today also marks the first time i’ve ever seen a female construction worker. if i was a feminist, i’d probably say something about how far women have come and rant on about equality this and equality that. but since i’m not, i’ll just say this: meh.

i sat on the subway today, which was weird because i almost always stand (unless i’m making another Loop-O’Hare run on the Blue Line). i plopped myself down in one of the sideways seats across the aisle from some white guy. then at the next stop, this black dude sat down next to me. now all we needed was a Latino next to the white guy for a CTA diversity poster. he never showed. oh well.

my third and final observation for today is this: the L is a prime farting zone. i know some of you are snickering, so stop it. farting is a natural bodily function and everyone from senior citizens to supermodels does it. back to the subject at hand, subways are great for cheese cutting for the following reasons:

1. it’s noisy - people can’t hear faint noises, thus relieving you of hold-it-in or silent-but-deadly obligations.
2. it’s crowded - while this may be viewed as a reason to not fart on the subway, the bottom line is this: they may have smelt it, but they know not who dealt it.
3. it already smells - if you’ve ever taken an american subway, you know that they smell and more often than not, the stations also reek of urine and other unpleasant odors. with that in mind, there’s a good chance your gas will go unnoticed.

someone remind me to buy an army surplus gas mask next time i’m up on Belmont.

buffo.

well, that settles that. i’m going to go cry now.

i can’t believe this guy has his own truck.

*sob*

i hate things.

so last night i was northbound on I-55 when the all-powerful and all-knowing IDOT (notice that it’s missing a second I) decided to shut down all lanes save one in each direction.

so there i am, putt-putt-putting along at ~25MPH behind a semi for the better part of my drive. sure, it would’ve been acceptable if they were doing construction, but the roads were fine. no IDOT vehicles, no bulldozers, no jackhammers, just a stupid construction pylon every 30 feet. needless to say, i was a little less than thrilled.

oh well, life goes on.

you deserve to be kicked and buried in a sea of easy-speaking babies if you…

- genuinely enjoy Lil Jon’s songs
- start sentences with “LOL”
- shop regularly at abercrombie
- work for sprint customer “service”
- stand on narrow escalators
- bundle up when the temperature dips below 70°F
- plagiarize
- make stupid lists

chicken tacos for the rest of you.

19 tornados ripped through northern Illinois last night. 19. there are adults who can’t even count that high. jeez.

anyway, i noticed that most of the trees on campus have regrown a full set of leaves. sounds nice and purty, don’t it? the thing is, all the trees exhibit the exact same odd shade of green.

the picture above doesn’t really do it justice, but believe me…the color is WEIRD. it’s like God selected #60FF00 and went ape with the paintbucket tool. yeah, i guess you had to be there.

on a lighter note, i got a gmail account. it’s quite the swank and comes with a gig of space. sweetness.
