Speaking of dumps, the other evening my gastrointestinal tract decided it was in need of some very rapid relief. The downside to this event was that it was 12:30 AM and we were locked in the room until 6:00 AM the next morning, so it was time to do the constant flush routine.

Of course this is a sure-fire way to wake up your sleeping roommate.

Well, he got revenge the next day by taking a dump at noon while I was trying to catch up on some sleep.

Common sense (courtesy?) would have had him see if I wanted to leave the room, but he just decided to do his thing. It was not a pleasant thing to be around.

But hey, that is half the fun of sharing a bathroom - literally - with another human being of the same sex and not of your own choosing!

So meanwhile, back to more intellectual pursuits.

I did mange to get an official Indiana University library card and my very own user name and password! Fat lot of good it is doing me. I am trying to get one of the staff people down here in Education to go online on my behalf so that I can do some research or at least order books from their library.

Cool, now on NPR we have Virgil Fox playing Ave Maria on the Riverside Church Organ. I think you (but not me) can listen to the shows via streaming audio, but I guess only if you have good speakers hooked up.

Well, let me sign off for now, we will probably be heading back to our unit shortly.

Later & peace,
Pete

PS we did get sent back to our dorms but we are not locked in our rooms so far.  ¶ 8:48 AM
