Today was alright from the top of the morning, but went pretty quickly downhill. I went to IHOP for the free short stack and it was kind of wonderful. My friend Jess and I wound up on the local news probably, along with the guy in the giant pancake suit who tried to say he was Mr. Pancake, but was totally wearing a skirt and girlie boots. But once I got back to the dorms for my first class of the day, I was feeling like crap. It wasn't the pancakes, I think I'm coming down with something.

I wrote a pretty therapeutic poem yesterday. I've had some issues with friends (one in particular) and getting out my feelings about what happened was pretty damn satisfying. I think I'll submit it someplace. Distincly tongue in cheek but also kind of angry.

In my War and Revolution class today, we ended up watching a really depressing documentary on the Rwandan genocide. I was ten years old at the time it went on, but now that I know more about it, I'm flabbergasted. I can't believe that our government/the UN didn't do as much as they could, and even in some cases just fucking farted around wasting time until 800,000 people were dead. I really hope the same thing doesn't happen in Darfur. I need to help do something about that.

I guess I don't really have much else to say. My art is going great. Writing is obviously good. Playing guitar = not so good. I need to take lessons.
