Campus is Closed. I'm Bored.

I picked the wrong day to drop the car off for some work. The dealer has a shuttle that will take you to work while your car's worked on, so I thought I'd just go to campus all day and get some stuff done at the library I've been putting off. Bad move. First, it's starting to snow like crazy and we're supposed to get a lot. Second, all of campus is shut down today - even the library. I thought everything was open during spring break, and that was true of everyday, I've now learned, except Friday. So I can't do any of the things I was planning on doing for several hours while stuck on campus without a car. So I'm hanging out at the lil' coffee shop by campus...for apparently several hours.

Anway, no posting for awhile and I'm stranded for a few hours, so random thoughts ensue:

• An English professor at my old school was convicted of murder. No, I never knew him.

• John Bolton for the UN. Wolfowitz for the World Bank. Karen Hughes for Undersecretary of Public Diplomacy. Next thing we know, Bush will be installing Henry Kissinger as head of Amnesty International and Sam Brownback as head of Planned Parenthood.

• Hmm...baseball players testifying in front of Congress. Why didn't Ah-nold join them?

• You know you're too drunk to drive when you get pulled over for somehow ending up driving on the airport tarmac.

• They're finally separating 35-W and 62 at the Crosstown interchange. Teresa and/or I drive this way almost every day. They're also adding an express bus lane and stops along 35. This will help. Although, the construction will probably make the commute even more miserable for a few years.
