Oops I Did It Again
Sorry this comic is late! Blame the birthday celebrations, which began Thursday and bled into Friday. Yesterday was lovely, and I spent a good deal of it sitting in the Tiergarten. That’s about all I remember.
As an apology for my lateness, may I suggest some additional internet reading material? The New York Times (for now anyway!) has all the back issues of its “Modern Love” column available for free online. Some are kinda hokey, but others are good. Some of my favorites are:
“Want to Be My Boyfriend? Please Define.” This was the winner of their college-aged essay contest last year. The author, a female college student living in New York, describes quite vividly this hook-up culture that we are apparently all part of.
“Let’s Not Get to Know Each Other Better.” This was the runner-up for that same college contest. Written by a guy, it’s about a time he decided to do something very unusual: ask a girl out on an actual date.
“My Stint As A Guest Star In His Romantic Drama.” This one’s about polyamory.
“Closing Night for My Bit Part.” This one describes in perfect detail the life I imagine I will have when I am 40. It is also the most beautiful and sad of all the Modern Love columns I’ve read.

1. Belated happy birthday to you, Athena! You’re my favorite Berliner.
2. There’s something about this strip that I love, and I won’t ever be able to explain what. Thanks for making such a puzzlingly awesome comic!
3. The Northfield-Casey collision is materializing, so start preparing now.

Wooo! Batman! Birthday! Hampshire stuff!
Casey: Aw, thanks. And let me know when you’ve determined which day the collision will begin…

I think this may be where I left off?
FUCK YOU AND YOUR HOUSING. I have two options when I get back to campus:
1. Find an open spot somewhere with someone I know. Assuming no one dies in your mod (certainly not Chris, hint, hint), I don’t really know anyone I could live with.
2. Be stuck in some random mod, probably full of pot smokers where I get constant asthma attacks and die, or
3. Go live in the dorms and starve to death because SAGA sucks.
p.s. in case you didn’t get it before I want you to kill Chris
