Bored bored bored

I can barely bring myself to type this. I'm so bored, I'm beyond wanting to do something. I'm in that bored-beyond-comprehension-so-I-stop-comprehending state. Krannert PhD programs has NOTHING for me to do. I don't have an account in Krannert's PhD website, so I just sit at my laptop, browsing the site and recording changes I want to make. That was done yesterday. It'll be a real shock to my system when I actually have work to do.

Now, we in the office are just babbling about coffee. Yeah... At least I have a deluxe chair, with raising, rotating armrests, tilting back and seat, padding on everything, and full raise and swivel base with wheels

Dinner and a show

Matt went home for the weekend, so I dined solo. Dinner consisted of chicken gumbo with Louisiana Hot Sauce, some Whole Grain Fig Newtons, and two pork egg rolls with garlic hoisin sauce. Go ahead and make a face all you want, but I rather liked it.

Went to see the Crazy Monkeys, an improv comedy troupe here at Purdue. They performed at the Village Coffee House on State St. I ordered my usual caffeinated drink, a double espresso with a shot of soymilk. This was the first time I'd had frothed soymilk in a drink; most places just pour it in. The frothing gave it an interesting texture that I think I like better than the usual. They gave me a very tiny cup to drink out of, which made me feel silly and pretentious.

The Monkeys were good as usual, though I miss the first group I ever saw. Only one of them remains, yet after all these years he still has the same sense of timing and randomness that made that first group such a success. A few of the new people aren't too shabby either. Crap, I'm only 22, I shouldn't feel nostalgic about anything newer than Lego or the original Power Rangers.
