Another Exciting Saturday Night
Last night, I went out with the fam to get some Pizza in Clarendon. Bizarrely enough, I ran into my friend Therindu, from school, at the metro stop. He's doing law stuff here for the summer, so we made amorphous plans to get lunch sometime. On the metro a guy noticed the Carleton shirt my dad was wearing and asked about that. Turns out he was a class of '03 grad. Poli Sci, like me. Well, kind of. He was an IR guy. So we talked about Carleton and the department for awhile. I just found it odd that, given how tiny and typically unknown my school is, I would run into two students in about five minutes.

While in Clarendon I bummed around the Barnes & Noble. Christ, I love books. Apparently Frederic Jameson has written a book about Utopian speculative fiction. Just the idea of being able to read about science fiction and critical theory at the same time got me so nerdy excited. I also found this book, "In a Shade of Blue", which attempts to apply Dewey's pragmatism to dilemmas in black political thought. Which, Dewey apologist and anti-racist that I am, has moved to the top of my summer reading list. Just need to finish these books for the Croatia program first.

Today, I'm confronting my boss about this minor fiasco wherein I've worked for him for four months and yet somehow not been paid. Yeah, total bullshit. I'm also going to swallow whatever dignity I had and hope he'll cut me in for hours again, because I need to make some cash before I go to Europe. This whole work situation is royally fucked up.
