Goddam right it's a beautiful day

^ That's a line from the song I liked best on the Eels CD that SJ and I listened to a few days ago. I don't know much else about the CD or the song, but it made me happy. Moving on:

MY ROOMMATE IS EVIL!

She got out of the shower around nine o'clock (which happens to be the time our CSci class starts) after sitting around for an hour or something. This should give some indication of her lethargy, which should make it less surprising that she said of our class, "We should skip it!"

Did I answer, "No! Sarah, we mustn't!" No. I said, "Well ... okay."

It's not just apathy, it's violent apathy. We're adamant about how much we don't--can't--care about anything. Violent apathy has never set in so early in the semester as it has for Sarah and I now.

And though the overall theme may still be violent apathy--like me vehemently ignoring my need to do laundry--I've been experiencing a bout of silliness. But there's so much to be happy about!

• It's another sunny, gorgeous day outside.
• I came back to my apartment to the scent of delicious caramel creme coffee that Alyssa offered to share with me.
• I get to go to Mankato this weekend and see Darren and Ali and Matthew.
• After the class I actually went to today, a lady in it came up to me and said, "Do you want some more Tom Robbins to read?" At first I was really confused. How does she know I've been into him recently?
  
  So I said, "You have some?" and she named off a couple of titles I immedately forgot because I was still confused. Then I remembered. Duh, Holly, you wrote a review of one of his books for the school paper last week. "Sure, I'd like that," I said.
  
  "Okay, I'll bring them on Thursday," she said. I smiled. "I really liked the article you wrote," she added as we were leaving. That made me smile more.
  
  And the odd part is, another girl heard that, and complimented me as well. I remember her saying it was really engaging, because that amazed me. I spoke of my reluctance to write a book review, since I don't think I have anything to say. She assured me that it was well-written and really made her want to read the book. I thought that about the best thing anybody could say. And I was really impressed that something I'd already forgotten about (even though I only wrote it a week ago and the paper came out on Thursday) was mentioned to me so flatteringly by other people.

i think ill choose militant apathy over violent apathy.
