My fellow Enginerds (Matt & Nick) and I ventured down to the engineering library tonight because i needed to look at some books there for some intro to ME homework i had. ohmygosh, guys, i have found my basement. i want to live there. i love it because it is the most ghetto crappy ass library i have stepped foot in. and you know what's even better? the basement of it gets the best cell phone reception i've seen on campus yet. but back to the ghetto crappy ass-ness. the walls are all just bare concrete, the floors are bare concrete (except in some of the other "stacks" where there is tile flooring), and there are pipes running all over the place overhead making some weird ass noises. and upon walking down there and merely stepping foot into the room, anyone with dust or mold allergies or asthma would immediately fall over and die. it. is. awesome. and there was absolutely no one down there so you could probably make as much noise as you wanted to. i kept expecting to find some engineer curled up in a corner in tattered clothes mashing away at a calculator with beady red eyes because he had turned half into a rat from living there for the past 8 years. muahahahaha! i was all like "holy crap, this is awesome. i love it." and matt would be all like "it's a piece of shit, and you know it!!"
earlier in the day, i was at the physical sciences library (cornell has the most insane library system ever. i can't stand it.) with matt, and we both stopped our work, pulled out our TI-89 Titanium editions, and had a "calculator love" session. g33k!!
On the way back to north campus from the eng. library:
Matt: "do you know how to jumpstart a car?"
Me: "....you mean hotwire?"
::we go into the details of jumpstarting a car and how i don't know how to do it and would have to look it up in my car manual and how the wires are hooked up::
Matt: "so is that like...sex for a car?"
then we stopped by Louie's Lunch for a night snack. i hadn't gotten anything from there before, and i lucked out and got the last milkshake of the night! okay, well apparently Louie's Lunch also sells condoms cause they have a small box of them taped to the window. from that, the following conversation ensued while we waited for our orders:
Nick: "looks like they sell condoms here. i can't read what that says but it must be the ____ (i can't remember) kind cause the ones in the red box are the heated kind and the ones in the green box are the ____ kind and the ones in the brown box are i htink the _____ kind."
Matt: "...how do you know all that?!?!?!"
Nick: "...i've bought condoms before."
Matt: "......."
Nick: "there's a big word for the kind of situation we're in now."
Me: "...Awkward?"
i've been listening to this song and "Biomusicology" by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists a lot these past couple of days.
i have this great fear that since it was sunny and didn't rain at all since monday, it is going to completely monsoon the entirety of this week.
