that one thing that still bugs me about Chamberlain

[themeletor]

Chamberlain Hall, that is -- my dorm.

and the thing is, I know you've probably heard variations on this theme about a thousand times, and I know I don't know very much about plumbing, but isn't red supposed to be for HOT, and blue for COLD?

thank you; that's what I thought.


also on the list of things you've probably heard a thousand times, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin died.

I know I'm a terrible, soulless wretch, but I cannot be the only person who laughed when I heard this.
(then I realized a significant part of my youth had died, leaving millions of already-tasteless-and-now-even-more-so bad jokes and dodgy Australian accents in his wake, and I mourned. in his final act of derring-do, Steve Irwin had tainted us all.)

You most certainly weren't the only one who laughed when they heard.

One of the girls from another dorm came in because her paper was saved on my friend's laptop (she's staying with me and my roommate because she and her roommate had a falling-out yesterday), and the girl was asking if we'd heard about Steve Irwin, and we're like, "He DIED?"

I've always kind of enjoyed the show, but in a sort of way that 'oh there's nothing better on', because watching people deliberately put themselves in danger like that kind of hurts to watch. And I've always said, "He's going to get killed or seriously hurt one of these days," but I was never serious about it, you know. Because you never really believe that something like that would happen, even though it most certainly and obviously does. Because they have back-up, you know? They have procedure and anti-venom and all that, but a stingray spine through the heart? Fuck, man. Just.. fuck.
