now i know what it's like to be a gorilla

Here I am at wpgu 1071- radio station to the heart of Champaign/ Urbana. I’m sitting in the dj’s booth, which is street level, and right on Green Street and busiest street in campus town and people, strange people are looking in. I try not to look at them but sometimes I can’t help it. It’s just like being at a zoo, but who’s in the cage? Ooooo weird.

I walked here to the radio station and I realized almost immediately how I should have worn different socks and different shoes. And the weather is SO warm it was so nice. It’s like 61 degrees Fahrenheit. And CNN described the weather as 61 and dreary. How silly this weather reminds me of a couple of things- Florida during Christmas time while visits grandparents, also reminds me of a moist (and I know some people hate that word but it works) days in Europe somewhere. And the air smells slightly sweet and then again the wind picks up and you smell the south farms, which smells like cow poop. So I guess that COULD be sweet smelling. If you were in a particularly reminiscent mood and you grew up on a farm.

But I digress, then again that's all I do on here.

I listened to Michael Ian Black’s album “I’m a wonderful man” and he is so funny. I would dare say probably funnier than the other members of Stella on their own.

God bless Carmex. Have you ever tried this lip balm- and not just the pot of the stuff I’m talking the click stick and the flavors. I got strawberry! Strawberry, the best of artificial flavorings.

My dreams have been very messed up lately. One night was influenced by my watching of the legend of Zorro- so bizarre. And then last night I feel a tinge of “bender’s big score” (which was as always hilarious and I can’t wait for the next Futurama movie installments) present in my dream. I don’t mind having f-ed up dreams but I hate trying to reconstruct them in my head when I wake up.

I want the next few months to just fly by as if they were completely of no consequence but I know they wont- stupid time.

Also I think strangers are funny but not in person, in person I know I would think they’re annoying and probably unattractive for some obscure Seinfeldian reason. I love you Larry David.
