and we'll collect the moments one by one

another thing i forgot to mention which added to the relative tranquillity of last tuesday (which is becoming more distant with each passing second--hi, school! hey there, work! job search, what's up?): on my way home, the busker at jackson blue line stop was playing "mushaboom." i didn't pick up on it straightaway, because of all the surrounding noise, and because that just wasn't a song i was expecting to hear from a lanky black guy at jackson el. but it clicked, and i smiled, and the busker smiled, and i got to enjoy his more languid, bluesy take on the song for about 45 seconds before my train came in. it was nice. no joke. guess that means it's already part of the pop canon; you'll get no argument from me.

and back in real time: i'm trying to read my assignment for my "corporations" class and i just can't hack it. truly the most boring thing i've ever read, and there have been many contenders. if you want to feel what i feel, revisit your least favorite textbook from high school or college. then punch yourself in the face.
