what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

As we speak 51,317 students are slowly making their way back to the You Dub campus. I can’t see them yet, but I know they’re coming. 

 

An earthquake 6,000 miles away will trigger a tsunami that makes its way across the Pacific. I can’t see it yet but I know it’s coming and I know it’s going to fuck shit up. 

 

Like that and like this.

 

Equivalent to the entire population of Olympia disappearing in June.  Everything is chill. Quiet. Mellow. Wide open. Accessible. For a few months     lulling me into a stupor. 

 

Then one day, the entire population comes back to the U-District. Out of nowhere. A recurring zombie apocalypse. Just like it says on the academic calendar, classes begin on the last Wednesday in September and they'll be moving into their dorms and apartments and houses a week earlier. 

 

I don't follow the academic calendar, I just roll around in it.

Electric assist is the camel ultra light of the moped world-motor pedal-it’s not a bicycle. It’s a motorized 2 wheel vehicle built on a triangle themed chassis. * cue they might be giants. While camel ultra lights look like bubble gum cigarettes they smoke just like studs. The carbon footprint is the same but it’s hard to see when you’re standing in it.
