So it's about 6:30pm, and the phone rings. I pick up and get an MCI automated message: Please stay on the line for a collect call originating from the Ohio Correctional Facility. This call was placed by " (long pause) John," an inmate at the Ohio Correctional Facility. Please stay on the line to hear the charges of this call.

me: CLICK!!

The phone rang about 3 more times after that.

For the record, I DO NOT know anyone named John who is currently in a correctional facility. In fact, I think the only John I know is my apartment mate (who I made pick up the consequent calls).

go figure.

Today I made an arduous journey up the freakin slope to get ripped off by the campus store. What makes a book special enough to cost $110? And what gives the school the right to buy it back for $5.50? They are now on a campaign to get students to buy less books online. Yeah, good luck with that. Everyone knows we just buy them from the campus store for the ISBN numbers, which make it easier to buy them elsewhere online.

Up until today, my toe was making wonderful progress. I was even able to bend it all the way this morning. Then, walking back from the cursed campus store my foot slid and I stubbed the toe again. I think I might have undone about 3 days worth of healing.

In other news, I am slowly putting up chainotes.com and redesigning my own site. I'm bored and tired and my foot hurts again. Booger.

On the urging of Steve, I am making this maiden entry to "Christen" this web journal.

Today is promising to be a dreary day in Ithaca (quite like many other days here). Soon, Tara and I will head out to meet Carol and go to the movies. This will be an interesting endeavor since I have not attempted to go up or down steps since my arrival here on Saturday.

I can kind of bend my toe now. Although the bottom joint is still a bit funky. Perhaps this time, putting on the sneaker will take less than 10 minutes. The bruise is a nice yellow now.. that's good. I'll have a picture once I develop the film and find a place to scan it.
