Fucking Paul. Like, MAYBE we should take a hard look at the words of a man who was pissed off that he was in prison and wanted to get out any way he could? How does Jesus go from “suffer the children to come to me” to “I’m going to arrive in visions with a fiery sword and threaten to cut people’s tongues out?”

As absolutely ridiculous as it was, Josh putting on fitted sheets nearly killed me. Vincent Rodriguez doesn’t get enough physical comedy moments.

Counterpoint: Tea is amazing. I just dunked a shortbread in my tea and ate it and it was all delicious. No one curls up on the couch with a good book and a cup of coffee, Clio.

Also did the Fijis ever get less obnoxious to live near?

Was the old elevator still in service and did it randomly stop working between floors still?

AND you had a foot court and a movie theatre downstairs!  Man, I wanted to live at Dobie so bad.

I feel like I hit a nerve.

I’m not going to lie; the real food aspect definitely had me visiting more often than not.  Mostly I subsisted on Jack in the Box and Ramen in college when I was left to my own devices.

I matriculated a good decade before you, so it’s good to see they’ve relaxed their very weird standards now!

Younger people most certainly can be bigots, and maybe/probably are in this case!  I only meant to explain that the alumni of this dorm hold a lot of sway and really, really can’t seem to let the place move into even the 19th century.

Hmm, that could also be the case. I feel like the ladies in that dorm were such a weird mix of SUPER uptight people and people like my friend, who thought it was all so weird.

I mean, technically you are right. It’s only one street over from 26th and all the RTF and architecture buildings. But I feel like that’s still a few blocks off of “campus” (aka the Six Pack, the Union, etc).

It’s off campus by several blocks.  (it is next to the douchiest of frat houses, though)  No actual affiliation with UT.  Technically I think you could also be an ACC student and live there, but I’m not sure about that.

I didn’t even have to read past the headline to know that this would be Scottish Rite. Oh man, that place is crazy. My friend lived there, because her (very well off but apparently pretty shitty) aunt had been a resident there, and told my friend that she would gladly pay all tuition and residential fees to UT . . .…

I feel like the built in seating could be okay with some cushions and some styling.  Like, a stack of books and a potted plant dotted around, etc.  Maybe that’s because I’m always thirsting for more seating when we have guests, and it could otherwise be used practically for bits and bobs.  (as practical as bits and…

Good god, that is hideous.  It looks like a sad grade school classroom after all the decorations have been taken down.

Nah.  There’s no problem with having try outs for sports teams (or music or dance or whatever).  The time for Everyone Gets A Turn At Bat is in grade school, not when they’re teenagers.  

Very true.

I did tell my cousin that it seemed to me that since everyone has times in their lives that they don’t get what they want, it might be best to enforce this lesson now. But then, my cousin’s son is an upper middle-class* white boy . . . will there ever be a time in his life that he doesn’t get what he wants?

Ughh, my cousin put his son in a Seg Ac school this year. The reason? Because he (my cousin’s son) wanted to play football, and didn’t make the team at the regular high school. I suppose it’s just a strange coincidence that every kid on the football team at my cousin’s new school is a pasty-faced, stringy white kid.
