terrorists control my shower

i know what you're thinking, "dicta smells fantastic." but also, "dicta is insensitive." yes, it's september 11, but you know what, the real one happened 5 years ago. and it, or it's aftermath, are discussed every single day. i have no problem with remembering it, and i think we should, but we havent forgotten it yet. i dont want round-the-clock cnn coverage of footage from 9/11/01. why cant we make today new york day, or wtc day, or something with a better name than those? like we have pearl harbor day (i think?). and yes, i'm sure they talked about japan bombing pearl harbor everyday until ww2 was over. but that was a war between sovereigns where people had definite enemies. this war now wont see an end. so while today is a very unique day in american history, we already remember it everyday. certain ceremonies and stuff are fine, but let's not go overboard.

but now to the topic at hand. my shower fucking sucks. it was cold and rainy out when i got up this morning. all i wanted was a nice shower before class. the first minute was fine, then the water got freezing. i turned it up. it became scalding. i turned it down. still scalding...still scalding...still scalding...still scalding...finally, back to freezing. i turned it up. warm, but not hot enough to be great. it'll have to do. the controls dont do shit, except make it either freezing or scalding. just because my apartment is in the "downtown historic district" of [law school city] doesn't mean that the water system has to be 300 years old and fucking suck.

however, one thing that cheered me up was seeing some douchebag driving into school in his convertible. and it was raining. i hope the top got stuck. pretentious asshole.
