Got out of 9am class early today, went to visit CK at her dorm across the street. CK's roommate was playing Kelly Clarkson loudly with door open. Got out CD player, spun up new mix, started singing "Money" loudly. Hope she took the hint.

CK's roommate dislikes Pink Floyd, esp Dark Side. Am flabbergasted.

Screamed along to Ben Folds in car yesterday while CK was buying bathing suit. Voice gets a little histrionically strained on "Kate," but can really belt "Song for the Dumped". Strangely, says a lot about my personality: "dandelions, butterflies" sounds a little pinched, but "give me my money back, you bitch" comes through strong.

Ideas continuing to form for religion column. Should really get down to Red&Black before they evolve legs and run off to remora people's back bumpers.

Have refused to replenish supply of dinner mints for past couple of days. Am starting to gnaw on own arm.

Can't figure out why my guitar picks seem to erode. Made do with three for the entire year when confined to a Yamaha classical, have worn two down to stubs in month since given Fender electric. Have to brush off dusting of pick shavings every time I practice.

Am at SLC computer station, can tell just by typing blog that computer is totally fucked up with viruses. Browser buttons and links almost totally ineffectual first five times they are clicked; click-drag selection constantly interrupted, leading to inadvertent drag-drop editing. Viruses depressing. Use Mozilla at home.

Bought new shoes, am excited about new shoes for first time in life. Shoes are incredibly comfy, like wrapping feet in pillows every morning. Cost grand total of $25. Highly recommend them. They are black reeboks, style vaguely reminiscent of cheap-ass uncomfortable Airwalks all males were peer pressured to buy in middle school.

CK's roommate saw new shoes, said, "those are black shoes." Nonplussed, replied, "I know. Black with white soles and laces." Roommate clarified: was making racial remark. Proceeded to make "jokes" about going to "da club" or "hangin' wit homies" or some such nonsense. "Jokes" remarkably unfunny. Fail to see comical segregation policy inherent in shoe design, yet am perfectly able to see plea for social acceptance inherent in roommate's Ugg Boots. Chose to keep this to self.

Saw '05 Mustang the other day, am forced to admit that '05 Mustang is the sex. If driver's license and $30,000 liquid capital were readily available, would probably buy '05 Mustang.
