last night there were messages from seger asking if we could meet up c. 10-11 am this am and i decided to set an alarm for 11-12ish cause if i didnt id sleep till 330 and today i had to get stuff done so i was waking and mid-deciding whether to shower or not and he called and asked if i could meet him in 15 minutes outside his building and he showed up carrying a paper bag with my stuff and i didnt understand what it was about till he told me he was being kicked out of the dorms for the second incident involving a certain hobby but not drugs. so i guess i said bye to him for forever or till next semester which is kinda odd either way but his parents were in the car parked where youre not supposed to park but can get away with it sometimes when moving in or something. and so they were watching a good-bye and then i went and got potatoes and onions and when i was walking home a car screamed rachel and it was him and them and i waved and that was that.
oh wait lets start again i missed something. i woke up and eventually made it to my window and looked out and there was snow on the other side of the street only and then later it was hard core storming but not leaving any anywhere. ok so i put potatoes on the window sill in my room to take their picture and the light meter isnt working like it should and i thought crap its broken which it is even though i bought it like two months ago after i gave the antique guy in central back his non-lightmeter-working camera. it has been over 30 days i cant find/didnt look yet for my receipt and to get to the store is a shitty bike ride and its coolllld out. um yeah so i was like i know ill borrow one from the fec! the film equiptment i dont know what the c is. and so thats a 15/20 min walk but i for like the second time rode the shuttle bus to that side of the universe but first it was trapped in the alley by the truck doing construction on the ex-emerson building soon to be apartment and me and the driver talked of the weather!!! everyone did that today. i did lots. um so then we moved and i made it and got a camera and the boy giovanni who works there (he is in my film class and is really awesome but is not jack gordon but also takes good pictures) asked me if i wanted a tripod but i said no. and when i got out it was grey out suddenly and i thought oh maybe i should have gotten a tripod. oh yeah my goal of the day was to work for 2 hours to shelve a cart and eat but i also wanted to have some negatives ready for tomorrows photo class cause we can work on our final project wich is 12 prints on a theme or project we did. i was doing pictures in alleys but got board so am now doing still life um so tomorrow in class we can work on prints which i hope i can get lots done in class cause everyone in every photo class has a final project of a million prints and so everyone is needing to use the only 11 projectors in the darkroom and those take so long if youre waiting for one and theres nothing you can do its miserable. where was i? ok so when i got back to my room after walking i took a light meter reading on the camera and there wasnt enough light so i would need a tripod. so i made a makeshift one out of milk crate wood crate and book and that sucked so i sucked it up and trekked across campus again and it was snowing madly then. and then i got a tripod and went to the dining hall and ate beans and when i was leaving and taking my stuff and old man comes pushes my tray out of the way with his then sits in my seat and oh yeah on one of my ways over to the other side i think my first on foot a man was on his celll phone walking toward me, he hung up and screamed mother fucker. ok so i ate bean dip and drank a smoothie and ginger ale. then i took the shuttle to the other side and took some pictoraz then i went back over to the other side of campus again. also i only usually make one trip over to the other side and stay till im done so this was intense and also it takes 30+ min round trip so its a hunk of day. so i developed my film and it came out okay and i made a few prints and jack gordon was in the dark room ooooh and we didnt say hi but we were both waiting for prints that were soaking in the stop bath and there were 3 tongs when theres usually 2 and i was digging around for a test strip and he said theres 3 and i was like what and i looked in another bathy and was like huh and then said im just looking for a test strip and he explained to me what he meant and i said oh i got you. photography terms are always about simple things but in photography they make them called something else so its more pertention and if you dont know it i feel it easily intimidates or seems so much cooler than it is. for exampe the dark areas arent called dark and if you call it that photography teachers glare at you because they are called dense not dark and light is something else too and its annoying and dumb. ug. ok what was i talking about...i farted on ryans head today but that comes later. farting on someones head is often an exaggeration and means like they were sitting and you standing while it happened and while you farted at them kinda close. farts rise so its somewhat accurate. then the clock strucketh 515ish and i left the d room cause i wanted to eat before yazze class. i ate more bean dip only this bean dip was different cause it was made by the manager who has the jail house tattoo on his finger and also it was eating with zackariah. then i went to class and i got an a on my paper and was feeling real swell and then the girl next to me raised her hand to talk and i saw her paper and she got an a too and she said she forgot to include the last page but she will email it to him anyhow so she didnt have an ending to her paper and she got an a too so maybe hes a super easy grader. anyway next class is the last jazz history class before then i have to go to a jazz show and write a 1 page reveiw. im going to see my professor play solo guitar at the cambridge y! um ok so then we filled out the professor evaluation the first of the season. and i wrote about how i hated him at first then each class he slowly creeped into my heart. and that i like him a lot now and he reminds me about my friend sean which is good and sean likes jazz too. then i went two floors down to the bibliotekka and hung with ryan and erin while they were at work.
and i was supposed to go to brookline to liz's to get my bike but it was super cold and i didnt want to leave the building at all and so i lingered to 11 when her roommate was spotted in the library and i asked her liz's number and called her and was two buildings away and not at home and so i then farted on ryans head and was cranky i think cause i was hanging with liz and not him and we normally hang on tuesday. but i stayed in the library and then liz came and we hung out for a bit then she left and me and ryan smoked a bowl and made a good-bye handshake and then i went to the c store. oh yeah librarys open till midnight now so thats when i/ryan work to! yeah so i got food to microwave f rom the c store and then microwaved it and got into my room and the ladies next door were playing lisa loeb's you say which is a great song but if you hear it too much too often well it really loses its novelty if heard more than once in a month but was my favorite song when it was out so that doesnt mean i hate the song it just means i need moderation of it. so i was like i have to pick something real good and then i remembered...my radio show is on tonight.
and thats where we are now.
