10-17-08

I only remember a little bit, but I was with a fellow friend/art student who is a sculpture major. He, another guy I met last night but only spoke the words "Hi" when he arrived and "nice to meet you" when he left, and I were somewhere.
We were wandering around chatting. It was friendly. It felt like we had been friends for years.

We happened upon this place that was sort of campus, sort of the grocery store. There were stapled shut paper bags placed all over the floor and big wooden frames with glass, and other random objects on shelves. It was some event where people like us-college students, or people of that age in general-could come receive free things.

We went over. As soon as we got there a swarm of people came so there was an air of competition for the best bags and objects. I looked down into a bag and there were a bunch of cereal boxes. I didn't really feel like a bunch of cereal so I let someone peering over my shoulder lustfully have it. Then I noticed this enormous thing. It was about 6 ft tall 7 ft wide and 4 ft thick. It was on wheels and was built of sturdy wood frames built into attached compartments and shelves. There was one large section covered in glass, like a display case, that had a wall with cords melded onto it. I didn't understand that part, and neither did my friends. We joked about how odd it was and how much I love it. Then I noticed there was a coffee press, a bottle opener, half a bottle of juice, and two really big toasters. One could fit 4 slices, another could fit like 10. I didn't want the toasters, but I wanted the other things, so I took it home.

We were back at my apartment and I was plugging in the new dvd player that apparently was also on the contraption, and my friend played video games on my roommate's console.
