And now…. a tap dance!
Current mood: tired

Some thoughts about the Campus Escort service at SDSU… Now IN THEORY, this is a fabulous thing, keeping us crazies who stayed on campus until an ungodly hour working in their offices safe from rapists, homicidal maniacs, ritualistic human sacrificers, motorheads, dweebies, dickheads, etc, etc 😉 …… BUUUUT doesn’t it defeat the purpose if they don’t come get you at your building but have you WALK a little ways to meet THEM?? And then once you get there no one is around?!

HA, so I was in my office until almost midnight last night, so of course I’d rather not trek to the parking garage all by my lonesome. I called the campus escort number, and she told me to meet the escort by the sundial in front of Hepner Hall. While my building I was in is close to Hepner Hall, that’s still enough of a ways for some creepshow to jump out from the shadows or bushes while I’m making my way out there…

SO then I get to said sundial and… Marco? Marco? MARRRCOOOO?? alas, there was no Polo…. There is not one single solitary soul by that damn sundial. Of course I’m a little nervous because I didn’t have my glasses on, as per usual, so I couldn’t really see too far around if there was some crazy hooded unibomber type making his way towards me…. So I feel just like a freakin’ sitting duck just standing there, I call Ceciliamapants to ask if she could look up the campus escort number for me, and to be on the phone with me so i felt a wee bit safer… So I call the escort people and let them know that HELLO i’m out in the dark, late at night, no one around, um, HELLO?! So after a few minutes the campus escort guys come, and they looked legit so I got in the car and yaaaaaaaay I’m home free.

But, um, SERIOUSLY?! Again I say, does that not defeat the purpose of a campus escort?? BAH!

But I digress….

In other news, as I was driving home last night it was a couple of minutes past midnight and i’m surfing through the radio… and I come across a station playing the Mexican national anthem. SWEET! I like a good sing-a-long on occasion! I want to say I’ve heard stations play the anthem around midnight before, but figured it must have been the same one…. Then I notice what station it is… the booty rap channel of 98. somehting! HAHA! So I keep flipping stations, then I end up on 91.1, the Alternative station AND WHAT’S THIS?!! They’re also playing the Mexican National anthem!! HAHA! Too funny…. but what I’m wondering is why? Is there something I don’t know about? Perhaps some sort of mexican homage that needs to take place every night at midnight? or is it only on special occasions? I don’t think yesterday was any sort of mexican holiday, but now I’m intrigued!! Anyone know the story behind this?? I kind of want to be up at midnight tonight to check the radio and see if they play it each night!

Anywhoo, back to work I go… BOOOOOO! xoxo!
