Not in much of a creative mood today. It’s interesting how much my mood can fluctuate. Sometimes I can’t escape an idea that is playing through my mind and other days, it takes hours just to get to the point where I can begin to formulate an idea. Currently I am at a loss. I’m just sitting on a couch in the Wilk (location X as my wife and I call it) people watching. I’ve found that when I’m out of ideas sometimes my best source is the interactions and the styles I see.

One guy just woke up his sick friend – the sleeping guy is actually carrying a bottle of dayquill with him… it’s okay to take a sick day buddy. And dayquill is a waste of money but I won’t judge. They’re talking now. The sick guy was feeling a little ill for a while then he was late to class and ran up to campus. That made his illness even worse so he decided to take a nap on a weird bench thing which seemed the most precarious option available but I’m sure the dayquill made it look more hospitable. The guy who woke him is from Norway. And sick guy is from somewhere where country music is acceptable for use as a ringtone (so maybe he’s a local).

Someone walked by wearing running shoes with their jeans. Perhaps to some this is an acceptable thing but really…when does that combo actually work? I’m sure if I made a list of most uncomfortable things to wear while running, Jeans would be on the list. So who are they trying to fool by wearing footwear designated only for running while wearing something that they clearly don’t go running in. Unless, they’re running in the cold in which case they should talk to sick guy and perhaps reconsider their running habits.
