pleasant show last night. dragged some obliging people along. bought a CD. had a minor crush on one of the band members. this was made all the more embarrassing by the fact that i'd been ogling her sidelong all through the first band whilst she sat rightwards at the bar, before i knew she was in the band that i'd come wanting to see. then she was ( Read more... )

I don't know if I would equate West Des Moines and Ankeny, in general, with progress personally. But then I have become jaded to sprawl and land grab races. I sort of realized that in all my "progress" through school to meet the expectations and the demands of everyone else, I was actually in a state of anti-progress. A stretch I know...but in a way, we are cheating ourselves trying to grow up to be like LA or Chicago. Hooray, we have traffic jams, unreasonably expensive housing, and skyrocketing drugs, gangs and crimes just like everybody else! All it took was millions pilferred from our faultering school systems and raping property owners till they bled green! We've finally made progress!

Bah, I'm overly sardonic and bitter at times. This probably has nothing to do with your post and for that I apologize, I'm simply understanding further each day why History professors more often than not go nuts.

yeah, i have a grim view of progress.. well. sorta. and i don't want to be like LA or Chicago, those are those places; problem is West Des Moines has traffic problems, too, plus all those soul-killing strip malls, going on for miles..

When you say Tipton, are you talking about Glenn Tipton? I actually think Glenn Tipton is a really neat guy.

Crushes can understandabalaly be uncomfortable, I try not to have feelings too much as they get in the way of things at times.

I feel the same way about crushes. I liked how you put it "i cannot reconcile the desire with the obvious reality." That's pretty much how i feel. I'm moving into my apartment in a few weeks. What do i have to do to get that free dial-up connection you told me that all students living off campus can get?

oh, apartment! that'll be fun. um, the internet thing's pretty easy, there should be some page. then all you need is a dial up app, you type in the number they give you, and use--i think--your ISIS password and stuff.
