magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

no studio today because friedrich is in washington dc. i did spend a good portion of the day doing research for studio though, in the libraries at brown and risd.

called cns this afternoon to ask why my laptop wasn't working on the wireless network in the library. i was told that i had to bring it in to them and leave it for 24 to 48 hours to have it configured. when i asked for the logic behind that the girl at the help desk didn't know, but told me that someone would call me back. [they haven't, and it's now the weekend.] i would be happy to make an appointment and come in with my computer and sit there while they do whatever it is they have to do. if it's simply to add a password to a keyfile so that only people who are actually affiliated with risd can use the network i can understand that they wouldn't want to just give that out. but that doesn't take 48 hours. if there's actual network configuration that needs to be done, i don't trust them with my computer and would rather they just explain it to me so that i can make the adjustments.

went over to garth and cybèle's for a while this evening. then out to the decatur for a few drinks. back at their place i said, 'that was another failure, i didn't go home with anyone.'

'you came home with us.'

'and i'm not planning on sleeping with any of you.'

'the decatur is not exactly the type of place to pick people up,' evan said.

'was there anyone there you would have like to sleep with?' garth asked.

'well, that girl liz. or the bartender.'

'liz has a boyfriend,' cybèle said, 'but i don't think the bartender is seeing anyone.'
