Sitting in the Planning and Design Library I hear this girl on a cell phone in the hallway.

May.

This invisible one sided conversation made me laugh. I then contemplated about my purpose here. What am I doing, am I just being process like so much meat in Cleveland? Will I have this conversation and feel nothing?

Exciting times have prevented me from posting as much as I'd like. My Dean's Assistantship proposal is due Wednesday as is my second paper for 343 (Planning Theory: Ethics and Politics). Both have a suggested page limit of 10. They have consumed my weekend. But, on the flip side, I got the book Bowling Alone by Putnam. It is amazing, a totally comprehensive look at how social capital has dwindeld to its pathetic current state. The impacts of television watching are particularly interesting. Once I get my proposal done (it will include a good summary of the TV chapter) I will post it online.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the most disturbing cartoon I have ever witnessed.
