[birthday self-indulgence]

my life is merely a pathetic satellite of a pathetic satellite...

yesterday i wandered the campus looking for daniel sproul. daniel sproul was probably too cool to come to campus, however, or at least he was avoiding me, because i'm less cool than him. but later in the day someone told me a story about how daniel made fun of someone, and i felt cool just listening to it. then i called tiffany at the yale house--definitely the coolest of the many cool off-campus dwellings--hoping to hear daniel's voice in the background. no luck. i had to settle for reading his web page, which is cool because it looks just like this other web page, but makes fun of it. making fun of things is cool. before going to bed i drank some expensive beer (cool) and listened to the talking heads (extremely cool in a retro kind of way) and managed to feel a little bit closer to the daniel-ness i strive for.
