At the Post Office today I noticed a Paul Robeson stamp had just been issued in honor of this activists’ achievements against racism. It reminded me of the “Hetzel Union Building and Paul Robeson Center” at Penn State. I knew nothing of this Paul Robeson before PSU and since then, I and the fellow MASSers hold his legacy in deep appreciation. So I bought a sheet and must now find an excuse to snail-mail James and Courtney.
… perhaps tomorrow. I’m feeling “rough around the edges” today, and for the past couple days. After the java project owned me, I’m left with a messy apartment and a an even messier head. I feel bad that I’ve been a bit of a “handful” to the people around me. Hopefully a day or two to myself will bring me back.
I’m tempted to indulge myself in “Extreme Makeover.” I love makeover shows. One of my dream jobs would be to produce a makeover show for computer nerds. I tried to run a “hygiene workshop” for ACM at UIUC, but they wouldn’t have it. Physical appearance plays such a huge happiness role in this society. For some reason I’m incredibly touched by the affect that these makeovers have on people’s self-esteem. I’m such a sucker.
