I saw kanji today leaving his political science class today. He has the same class I do, only on TT instead of MWF. “I love Schaefer,” he says when he sees me. We talk a bit about Red Dragon. “What time do you get on each day?” he asks. I tell him about 4 or 5. “Cause I wanna kill somebody. Everytime I get on there, everyone’s dead. Except for Agamemnon.” Then he picks a piece of yew or juniper or whatever that bush around the Fine Arts Building is and hands it to me. “Have a tree,” he says. “It’s a hyper bonsai.”<\/p>\n
“It looks pretty staid,” I say.<\/p>\n
I walk into the building to go through it to get to my car. Two guys are
\nsitting in the hall engaged in earnest discussion. I go up to one of them
\n(never seen ’em before in my life) and say, “Here, have a tree,” handing him
\nthe twig.<\/p>\n
He accepts it and says, “Thank you,” without thinking…<\/p>\n
Something funny happened to me today. I went by the bank to deposit the
\nremainder of my AL student grant and chose the drive through since it was
\nraining. A lot of other people had evidently chosen it for the same reason,
\nand there were at least two cars in front of each vacuum machine. Except the
\nlast one. It had only one car. Cool, i thought, and I pulled into that lane,
\nsuddenly, a van that had just been sitting over to the side dashed in RIGHT in
\nfront of me to that place. I thought that was rather rude, but i wasn’t in a
\nhurry, I was in a relatively good mood having just completed my last final,
\nand I was enjoying listening to the radio. So I just pulled into another lane.
\nThe front car in the lane beside me opened up then. I looked over to see a
\nwhole line of cars waiting for the window right next to the bank to become
\navailable. I thought one of them might want to pull over into this newly
\nshortened line, but none of them budged. i guess they all needed to use the
\ndrop or something. After waiting a couple of seconds more to make sure that
\nwhat had happened to me earlier did not repeat itself, I pulled over into that
\nlane and put the car in park while I waited. After quite a while, the car
\nahead of me pulled out, and I filled its spot quickly. I opened my door
\n(since my window doesn’t work), grabbed the vacuum tube when it emerged from
\nthe machine, and was about to put my check, driver’s license, and deposit
\nslip in it when I remembered that I hadn’t signed the deposit slip for cash
\nremoved. I rummaged around for a pen and hurriedly signed it before slipping
\nthe tube back into the door of the machine. Then i waited. The machine did
\nnothing. The tube just sat there. Cars around me came and went as i waited
\nfor the machine to react. Someone behind me honked their horn. I opened my
\ndoor again and hit the button marked SERVICE. I tried shutting the machine.
\nNothing. So I waited some more. The tellers inside were swamped. Finally, a
\nlady in a truck got out and came up to my machine. She hit the SERVICE button
\nseveral times and tried to force the door shut. I just gazed out of my window
\nand smiled. She walked over to the window where the tellers were just as the
\nmachine shut its door, swallowing the vacuum tube. I could hear her yelling
\nat the tellers through the window. The teller responded through my machine’s
\nspeaker. After a while, i convinced the impatient lady that the machine was
\nindeed working and the teller that everything was okay. After a couple more
\nminutes the vacuum tube returned. After making sure that my driver’s
\nlicense, my money, and my receipt were all there, a pulled out quickly to let
\nthe lady in the truck up to the machine. I didn’t even stop at the stop sign
\nleading out of there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
