Is patience really a virtue? I mean, couldn't it be that someone out there's trying to trick us into being patient by telling us this, when really we should be as impatient as possible? I say this only because I'm amazed at precisely how difficult it is to wait two days to watch the Angel episodes I've just downloaded, simply because I'm going to watch them with girlwithjournal — but then again, does that count as patience, or as being nice to one's friends?

Really, I'm sure that deep moral implications hinge on these issues, and I fear for my hypothetical soul if I somehow don't manage to properly resolve such dilemmas. Not that I'm going to watch the episodes — I don't want to make girlwithjournal jealous or unhappy — but I think to a certain extent it's the desire to watch them in the first place that's problematic. And I think this is a question of patience.

Just how much am I babbling?

Wow, didn't drabble for a full day!

Old McSweeney drabbles here. These ones are a bit more angsty than the previous lot.

It's so fucking cold today. I'm wearing long sleeves and jeans and I'm still shivering. Why didn't I bring a sweater? Of course, I was hot while I was biking in to campus. And I had to miss DeCadence today because we were working on our German presentation. And I left my choir music at home.

On the other hand, today has held some good things, too. We watched half of M in German, and it's very cool. And I'm getting to wear my new shirt that I bought when girlwithjournal and I went shopping a few weeks ago. And I'm hanging out with psychopepsquad tonight.

But.... cold!!!!

More of my day

After rehearsal (which wasn't so good; my voice was being unpleasantly furry), I went to Raleigh's and had food and drink with psychopepsquad. And can I say: Raleigh's currently has 8 Ball stout!! This is a joyous occasion, as 8-Ball stout was one of the first stouts I ever liked. (The very first was called Neptune, I think, but I've only ever had that in New York.)

Another good thing was that the stroky numbers on my shirt actually did get stroked, by Kristen.

And a mixed bag of good and bad is that my scanner works (yay!), but I had to reinstall the software and drivers as though it were new, despite the software all being perfectly apparent in my start menu and despite the fact that I have actually used the scanner with my computer before.

So here, for your delectation, enjoyment, amusement, or tears of distress, is the not very good picture I drew of wageslave during class.
