++ I STOOD IN line today for 3.5 hours just so i can get some basketball tickets. and while i know i'm not a hardcore fan and probably, no mostly, a fair weather fan, but becoming less so and more so a bearcat fan in general, i know i will never be hardcore enough to camp out for tickets. they tell me that the people who were first in line went and started camping out the night of the xavier game. the xavier game was on tuesday. holy crap thats a long time. another friend i saw said he got there last night at 5.45pm to camp out. tickets don't even start to get passed out until 9 in the morning. 3.5 hours! i don't do anything for 3.5 hours. i can't even sit down and do 3.5 hours of schoolwork without a break. same when i'm at work. you know, actually i got there at 8.30 in the morning. forget abour doing anything for 3.5 hours. i don't ever get up that early. although maybe i should.
mentor class today was a walking tour of campus. overheard from the freshman while walking:
"you know if we didn't have ugly buildings, then we wouldn't be able to appreciate the pretty ones."
"i don't like this space. can we tear it down?"
"those lights are $40,000 each! who designs these things?" "architects."
"so a place is always a space, but a space is only sometimes a place?"
"how much further do we have to walk?" "one step further than you want to walk."
this is a weak post. bah. double bah. ++

AESTHETICALLY PLEASING BUILDINGS
++ IT APPEARS AS though architects cannot do a good job in anyone's eyes. if we design a building which does not meet code, the building inspector won't let us go ahead with the construction. if we design a building which does not fulfill the client's program, they sue us. if we design a building which is not completely weather-proof, the client sues us. if we design a building which is not pleasing to look at, the public complains. if we design a building which is unique and 'wacky', the public complains that the building doesn't fit into the context of the urban fabric and they shart shouting NIMBY. if we design a building which is not environmentally conscious, we are dubbed as wasteful and detrimental to the future of the planet. if we design a building which goes over budget by $1, we are called reckless and without any sense of fiscal responsibility. if we design a building which is realistically impossible to build, but wins a competition, we are termed experimental or or young or up and coming vanguard or rising stars even if we are 60. .. luckily i'm not 60.
..and now the environmental animal hugging group watchers are complaining..
"buildings that we have created to be aesthetically pleasing are slaughtering birds ... but I'm more encouraged than ever that we can come up with a solution that will stop this senseless slaughter of wildlife."
sweet. stripping girls!
and penguins. but these aren't stripping. but you get to hit them. not quite as good. but almost.

SIX MORE WEEKS
++ SIX MORE WEEKS of winter according to punxsutawney phil, the groundhog.
oh, i had a dream last night that i remembered. i was playing indoor soccer and the ball was played into our defensive half of the field back in the corner. shawn was playing keeper. i ran back to play the ball to him and a girl on the other team who was faster than me came to challenge for the ball. she checked me into the wall and i fell. she started to go past me, so i stuck my arm out and pulled her down by her leg. all of a sudden a pop-up appeared in my screen of vision and it said, "you've been dismissed. click ok." i argued with the referee and then my alarm went off. so, normally at 5 in the morning i will continue to hit the snooze button until the snooze automatically turns off and even then i won't get up for at least another hour or two. uh uh. not to this morning. i woke up and was so pissed for being sent off the field. wide awake. stupid ref. blind. she wasn't even down there. and she sent me off through an email. that bitch .. ++

POKER NIGHT
++ POKER NIGHT WAS at the apx house tonight. well more like this morning. or some may call it last night. but it borders on this morning.
ring ring.
"hello?" "come play poker with us." "talk to john." .. .. .. .. .. ..
"we're playing poker at the apx house. wanna go?" "heather, wanna go." "not really, but you should go." "ok. let's roll."
..
half an hour later it was 12.30am. alright. but its saturday night. i can do this.
"what's the game?" "no-limit texas hold 'em." "wait, everyone needs to buy in first." "how much?" "don't you mean, no-limit apx house hold 'em?" "let's say $5 a person. that makes for a $40 pot." "hey, we're not smoking pot." "wait, count the chips." "how are we gonna split these up?" "mitchell, isn't this against your christian beliefs of gambling and taking away money from other people?" "let's play 1, 5, 10 cent. white, blue, red." "pot?" "it doesn't matter, if we're playing winner take all." "yes it does." "do we have enough chips?" "ooo. i'm hungry. pass those." "no it doesn't. they can have any value if we're playing winner take all." "i once smoked pot." "oh, you're right. "only once?" holy crap. 10 minutes later. chips split evenly. money on the table. chips passed to the other side of the table. no pot.
..
nick is out first. buys back in. "can you do that?" "apparantly so." mitchell has broke even. bye bye osam. "if he can. i can." "welcome back to game osam. thank you for your money." bye again nick. osam, join him. cliff, well, it was your first time playing anyway, better luck next time. jeanne, not bad, well played. jason, are you serious! you just went all in 6 times in a row and won them all! don't press your luck next time. stevenson, it is 4am .. oh thats not good. yeah, you're tired anyway. thanks for playing.
..
"mitchell, its just you and me. just wanna go home?" "sure. we'll split it, $10 and $30?" "sounds good to me."
..
so i made money. and it was the hardest work of my life. except for maybe when i was really young and my parents made me do chores around the house for an allowance. i made $10 for 4 hours of poker. which i guess isn't really work. but if you do the math, thats $2.50 an hour. which is still less than i got paid when i was 10 years old cleaning the house.
