Craziness

[ase]

Dear internet,

1.) Obama mania. "God bless you. And God bless America." To a packed stadium. Seriously, this is awesome political theater.

Meanwhile, the DNC is having New Orleans-related freakouts. Can't we just swear Obama in tomorrow, please?

2.) One of my roommates is about a month from losing his student visa, and in the meantime is using the kitchen table as a staging ground for his electronic nerve center. I am trying to find a polite way to indicate I'm about three seconds from shoving his desktop out the nearest window and sending his laptop after it, because it's on the kitchen table, and there are two other people who use that space. This week's theme is people stepping on my toes, and it's getting old.

3.) Speaking of crazy, what does metro do on a holiday weekend? Massive track maintenance impacting National! I will be running the heck away from the blue and yellow lines.

This week's been surprisingly uneventful, with fantastically cool weather; today I woke up to morning rain for the first time since I moved. It'd be nice if it stayed this cool for a whole, but the weekend's supposed to be warm and rainy, and then warm and sunny, so no joy.

Send unfortunate roommate out somewhere to buy a folding table for his use. And wish him luck.

He moved it to the card table he already had set up in the living room. This is marginally less irritating.

Nice part of me: You should politely tell roommate that kitchen table is not appropriate for computer.

Evil part of me: Stick a PB&J sandwich into the CD/DVD drive.

I did polite. I thought hard about PB&J. I'm reminding myself that he'll probably be out of here in two months, so boundaries are in order and temper tantrums are not.
