What happened today?

• Falcons won tonight, won 10 dollars on that game. I also won my week one fantasy football game. It sounds so lame but Fantasy really keeps people in touch. I talk to Tim, Geoff and Jack at least once a week because of it.
• I heard "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins for the first time in a long time. That's an amazing song.
• I cooked a New York strip steak to a perfect medium rare. I ate that, along with some corn on the cob and drank 3 Coronas while I watched the Falcons game. I almost felt like a real live adult.
• I went to an IP Law Society meeting.
• I went to Constitutional Law, raised my hand, and did rather well. I went to Civil Procedure and hoped I didn't get called on.
• In between classes I ate and worked on school stuff with the usual crew in the 11th floor lounge. This one kid that eats with us would not get the clue. We shoot the shit for a couple of minutes right when class gets out. We eat, we converse, we laugh. Then we work. He didn't get the work part.
• I knocked out Torts in about 2 hours right after class was over. I did a less than stellar job of reading Contracts.
• My roommates and I figured out how we can listen to each others songs through our network in our apartment. This means we have like 7,000 songs at our fingertips at any minute. If we were to throw a party it would have hands down the finest music in the history of parties.
• I got on the 29 today on the way home. It was directly behind another 29, which usually means one of them is gonna switch routes. It was, of course, mine that switched to the 143 and I had to walk the rest of the way home. I walked across the bridge over the Chicago River and had the weirdest thought. If someone were drowning in the River, like a kid or something, I would without a doubt jump in-the bridge isn't high enough to really hurt me and the water is plenty deep. I just wondered what exactly I would do before I jumped. I would certainly take off my 60 pound backpack-tough to swim with that. Would i take off my shoes-that seems to be an unwarranted delay, but taking them off would certainly help me swim, so I could probably justify it. The real thing that troubled me was whether or not I would take my Ipod out of my pocket. If I did take out my Ipod, would that make me a bad person. It would certainly delay the rescue of the drowning kid, but only by a few seconds. Nevertheless, the kid is drowning and here I'd be taking out my Ipod. I decided (by the end of the walk) I would leave the Ipod in both my pocket and my ears. It would provide a killer soundtrack for the jump, especially if the M83 song "America" was playing. Not to mention, the kids gotta be saved, fuck the Ipod. Besides, I want a Nano anyways. This is what I mean by being an overthinker. Who thinks of these things? Me. But it doesn't matter, no kid is ever going to be drowning in the Chicago River-at least not while I'm around.
• I drank chamomile tea while I wrote this so I could fall asleep.

Lyric of the Day:

"And you know you’re never sure

But you’re sure you could be right

If you held yourself up to the light

And the embers never fade in your city by the lake"
