saturday shift

The other day I stumbled into some gossip so savory as to involve multiple facets of my life. And though I'd risk serious credibility issues if I mentioned it here, I just wanted to say that it completed me. I've been trying to figure out why my summer has been so lackluster for the past few weeks. And... it's just gossip withdrawal. Not only is gossip missing, but the very objects of my social whispers are MIA (europe, quiet summers in the midwest, etc...) as are the purveyors of such information. So my current fascination with NY and LA gossip blogs (defamer, gawker, wonkette, laist) -- well it all makes sense now. Mildly pathetic, I'll give you that.

I decided that it would be fun if John McCain decided that he would run as an independent in mid-July. Wouldn't that just shake things up. Of course, it's all part of my greater fascination with more interesting news stories, but regardless, it'd be fun.

Ran into a Japanese tourist extravaganza the other day outside of our student center. Best part of it was that the tour guide, a middle-aged asian man, was dressed in Paul Revere garb, sword, marlboro, and all.

Netflix has delivered. 12 hours sitting in my lobby with SATC season 6 and Wes Anderson's "Bottle Rocket."
