May 2009
The senior class wanted me to donate money to some UC Class of 2009 plaque and some “Go Green” Initiative.
I was a hard bargainer.
First they wanted $100, then $35, then $20.09
We settled for $0
Smoke Monster From 'Lost' Given Own Primetime... →
Jumping on the bandwagon of Cameron and John, bits from my dream(s) last night:
A party with former coworkers, including people from 2 offices I’ve previously worked at, another office from a previous dream, and coworkers who were actually characters from Lost (Desmond, Charlie, possibly others) and The Office (Stanley, possibly others)
A road trip between colleges with my dad. I was going...
oops slept till 2pm. Thru 2 alarms. Good thing its Sunday and not a school day.
how is it possibly hotter at night than it is during the day? wtf science?
Oops spoke too soon. Hear the tornado sirens now.
Tornado warning!
cameronchristopher:
Hayyyyy.
I don’t hear anything, there should be sirens, right? This warning is a lie!
Firefox decided to crash over and over and over again, right as it starts up, so I’m migrating to Safari. Currently setting up the main bookmarks and saved passwords.
I wish Chrome was available on mac.
Walking on Marshall near the corner of Probasco, 12:30am
I encounter a girl peeing in the bushes next to the sidewalk. I walk past.
Girl calls out: “Oh don’t feel awkward; I don’t!”
Me: “Oh… no worries… have a good night!”

Brother Micah Meets The Gays
edwinedwinedwin:
A counter-protest to Brother Micah’s hateful rantings. Brother Micah is a radical evangelical who travels the country’s university and college campuses spreading hateful messages against minorities, anyone he deems to be “not-Christian”, and the general populace. We at University of Cincinnati have decided that we should stand together as a body against this unwanted presence on...

Possible Advantages to Smoking
Cooler voice
Something to do while waiting for a bus
Excuse for taking frequent breaks at work
Can put the pack in the sleeve of my white tee shirt, like Snake Jailbird on the Simpsons
Could make smoke rings like Gandalf
Charlotte from Lost was in an episode of Stella for 5 seconds. She said “Sorry, I don’t date jews.”
I just finished (re)watching all of LOST in 10 days. Don’t ask me how I managed that. Sacrifices were made.
Firstly, I have to say that Season 2 (hatch, tail section, Desmond, Henry Gale) was the best, followed by season 5 (Faraday, 30 year time difference, amongst the Dharmas, WTF-Locke)
Now, some thoughts on Season 6
The reunion of the century: Walt and Vincent, together again!
...
Every news item on Facebook is people back home talking about the “Cavs” who I guess had a match tonight idk?
But then I turn on the special list I made that only shows the feeds of the gay facebook friends. Perfection.
Habits
Things that I do because that’s how they’ve always been done, but without any real logic behind them. 1. Cereal is stored on top of the refrigerator. That’s how I do it in my apartment because that’s how it was done back home. I don’t really know why they do it. I guess its a reasonable place for it, boxes are rather tall and they might not fit on a shelf, but...
Today’s list
haircut
what feels like a week’s worth of work
my hands are really dry? I guess I need lotion or something ugh I wish they would just fix themselves. Like reptiles do?
stupid class in the afternoon. I’ll dovetail the haircut into that excursion.
figure out if “dovetail” is the correct term
maybe stop by a mailbox to mail some bills. I wish I...
The term “followers” is a lot creepier when I imagine it as that many people actually following behind me (like in that one episode of The 4400, anyone?)
And there are people with 5 or 10 or 20 times as many followers? Imagine, all those people walking a few steps back, shadowing you into the grocery store, down the street. They stand beside your bed and watch you sleep. They...
I gave in to AC. There is zero cross breeze in my apartment, this was the only way.
It’s so glorious now.
“If you say “live together, die alone” I’m going to punch you...”

it’s so hot the icecream melts before I can eat it.
it is so hot I’ve been shirtless for hours.
The Case for Working With Your Hands →
On Facebook, continued:
britticisms:
It really bothers me when people suddenly change their display name to something that makes no sense. When did Kisha start going by Elle? Why is Linda referring to herself as Terri?
People want to hide from what they are; want to hide who they are from potential employers.
Hence “Mykke Lee” instead of “Mike Lee” and “Michael Thomas” instead of...
Thoughts on Mousicide
Nate says:
I don’t think I can talk to you anymore
My brother Mike says:
Brutal. Glad to hear problem solved!!11
My cousin Amy says:
Today you are a man my son
My sister Katie says:
Excellent. Peace restored to the Kev apartment.

I set a new trap, just in case. If I catch another mouse, I become a serial (mouse) killer. After this it’s a slippery slope…
First they came for the mice,
I remained silent;
I was not a mouse.
Years from now, a man will broadcast a doomsday ultimatum to the world. KNOW THIS, tumblr. It might start with mice. It ends with super-villainy.
The trap crushed his skull. Right in the middle of the damn thing. I’m a murderer.
I'M A MONSTER!!!

OH FUCK I just saw the mouse come out from the stove and he was curious and tentative but he went straight towards the trap and then SNAP oh fuck!! He was still for 3 seconds, then he writhed for 1 second, then he was still. Forever.
Oh Bernard I’m so sorry. I wish you would have just signed the lease. FUCK this is my first time killing.
I SAW IT HAPPEN. FUCK.
(every time I type “mouse” I think I’m spelling it wrong)

Hypothetical Tenancy Agreement
THIS LEASE (the “Lease”) dated this 23rd day of May, 2009
Between:
Kevin, also known as Kevoh, occasionally as Faucet (the “Landlord”)
Mouse, also known as Bernard the mouse (the “Tenant”)
In consideration of the landlord leasing certain premises to the Tenant, the Tenant leasing those premises from the Landlord and the mutual benefits and obligations...

Nate: How's the new pet?
Me: Hahaha
Me: I bought a trap
Nate: oh no
Nate: don't kill it
Me: it's the only way, him or me
Nate: why?
Nate: he was probably there first
Nate: I'm cheering for the mouse.
Mr Friendly: Hey, you got yourself a fish biscuit. How'd you do that?
Sawyer: I figured out your complicated gizmos, that's how.
Mr Friendly: Only took the bears 2 hours.
Sawyer: ... how many of them were there?
things I don’t care for: torrents that say they’ll be done in 12 days, 17 hours.

final mouse update of the night:
can’t very well sleep in the bed, because the top surface of that is 4 inches off the ground, easily mouse-climbing height. so I’ll sleep on the couch. I guess I’ll have to leave the apartment tomorrow to get a trap? I hate this. I wish humans were the only animal alive. Or maybe just me, only me.

I stood perfectly still for more than 10 minutes (I counted to 600) but no mouse.
