And So, Here I Am

Down goes Teo! Down goes Teo!

Downstate, that is.

As of yesterday, I live here. I go up the steps on the side to the top floor, behind the "stained glass"...er...plastic. It is approximately 15,000 degrees in there. It was a manageable 14,000 for most of the day, but now it's 5:30, and, well, notsomuch.

I bit the bullet and ordered cable. One local channel from 40 miles southwest of here will not cut it.

My apartment lacks a true shower, but there's a special hose and squeegee in the bathtub that will allow me to make myself presentable to the outside world.

I am 38. I live in a furnished attic apartment just of the U of I campus. I'm gonna start a fraternity. I might go streaking. I bought a beer bong today. I have a poster of Paulina Poritzkova to hang on my wall. I will live out of boxes and hang towels on nails. I will leave the door open. Yes, that door.

Long live 1987 on campus.

If you recall, I had about nine posters of Sting in my room freshman year.

I remember riding bicycles through the hallways of my dorm, and i remember shaving cream everywhere, and i remember lots of vomit, only some of which was mine. i also remember sting and paulina. and i remember vinnissimo's mac setup and his studio and dark castle. i remember my depressed roommate who slept 14 hours a day and then ordered dominoes for both lunch and dinner before sleeping for another 14 hours. that was all first semester shit way back when.

first day is tomorrow. should be interesting.

Hey ... isn't *that* door the first thing one sees as one comes up the stairs (er, ladder?) into your attic?

Very bold, Teo.
