I'm currently engaged in combat of epic proportions with the Office of Student Conduct over some illicit wireless router usage, the consequence being that I am without internet access. That is, until the end of the semester, when the ever-logical bureaucratic rules force everything back to its natural state of being.

Anyway, I've been spending a lot of time in the library, using the public computer. I always use the same computers, and I've noticed that there is this really large man, with a hooked nose, who sits at the computers for hours (like me), staring intently into his computer screen. He has intense, beady little eyes. I only first noticed him because he looked a lot like someone I knew in Bucharest, and then became fascinated by this blob. I think he's a professor, or a TA, or something, because once this woman and her students came up and I could tell by the way they were fawning over him that he was some sort of authority figure. Anyway, I'm too curious for my own good, so I look at his computer screen every time I go by. This habit began when I noticed the title of the Craigslist ad he was looking at: "MATURE MEN ONLY." After that, mostly what I noticed were Craigslist ads for cars, and the occasional e-mail (Hotmail, a.k.a. MSN Hotmail, a.k.a. Windows Live). Then, something along the lines of "ONLY FOR REAL FREAKS." Once, I saw him at the North Carolinian cities page. So either he's planning on going to NC sometime soon, or he's just so devoted of a Craigslist fan that the DC metro area listings just aren't enough to tickle his pickle.
