regenstein-r-us

I'm sitting here at USITE/Regenstien, the ugly--and now thanks to the 24-hour-study space, rediculously filthy--stepchild of USITE/Crerar and USITE/Harper, ostensibly working on a french "journal" I'm supposed to hand in in 2 1/2 hours and/or doing my reading for mearsheimer's class.

...but, of course, I'm not doing either of those things. I'm surfing the web.

they really need to clean these keyboards. they've got more grime on them than the average u of c grad student.

is anyone else distressed by the absurd amount of power that this 9/11 commission thinks it has? going around, messing in everyone's business. don't they get that we already feel bad about the whole thing?

I watched the commission once. lots of partisan rancor. rather like watching some squabbling siblings, except they use more coded language like "distinguished colleague." the british do that awfully well, too, insulting you and then asking you to agree with them.

you're looking a bit toddy today, don't you think?
shouldn't we be wearing a little something more appropriate, hmm!?

I for one prefer the much more direct move of simply pointing at the offensive article of clothing and saying, in a condescending manner:

"what's this!? honey, no!!"

whatever works.
