I hadn't seen this, but I'd just say that "Kings" is a wild choice in 2025

yeah, Daniels looks like a dump now relative to the rest of campus, but I was very happy to be there instead of Calhoun

ahh, see, I lived on the DAAP floor in Daniels, which was even more creatively destructive than the Honors Floor.

when they brought in a third set of lounge furniture (after we'd broken the first two sets) the collective reaction was "why? we're just going to break that, too"

SAD ME: I had a really poor ordering strategy at dinner last night
SMILING ME: I had a good breakfast and I have a good dinner ahead

spinning off this: I love paperbacks. we need to get back to the era of paperbacks that can be shoved in a coat pocket.

the physical dimensions a book is published in is a limiting factor in people's ability to read it while commuting. I'm surprised more people don't admit this. I got a kindle so i could read longer/larger books.
