A tube of raisins, a jar of Nutella, and thou

I walked into the common room when everyone else was at dinner and found Sal there.  He was sitting next to an open container of raisins, an open jar of Nutella, and a chocolate-smeared knife.  He was gazing at his laptop and chewing something.

Full of certainty in my morally superior dietary views, I decided to intervene.  

"Is that your dinner?" I asked.  "That's not dinner."

Sal swallowed and gave me a hostile stare.  "No," he said truthfully.  "That's someone else's Nutella knife."

Thus, the picture below is merely a fabrication.

Runner Problems #2

Is a smile the best umbrella?

Think again.

He deals in dairy

Merp was hungry.  

Skyler possessed macaroni and cheese.  

Merp offered a transaction:  one dollar for a cup of "college gold".  

Skyler said that his goods were worth no less than $1.69 apiece.  

Merp tried to give Skyler coins.  

Skyler threw them in Merp's face, saying, "They will sit on my dresser and then I will lose them."  

Merp had to find another way to compensate.  Fortunately, the starving artist is never at a loss.

The usual five stressors

This image is from last year, but the stressors described (save the foot pain) are, unfortunately, timeless.

System Failure

Did not plan ahead

I don't always do my homework, but when I do, it's at 3 am on the day it's due.  

Just kidding.  (Mom and Dad take note.)  I'm usually good at getting work done on time.  But you know how you put off an assignment until the last minute and then realize that problem #1 is actually 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g, 1h, 1i, and 1j?  Sometimes that happens.

And sometimes your dormmates hijack your unique, insightful complaintspace for their own petty problems.

The return

Sal was away for some of January, but he came back!  And we rejoiced.
