5:00 Shadow / Roommates

Original Air Date: 11.25.04
Opening Song: "Blame It On The Boogie" - The Jackson 5

I just realized that today was the first time I've shaved in four days, since we've been out of school. I refuse to go outside with a unibomber beard! I could just hear the neighbors now: "Is that the guy that kidnapped that little girl? I thought they put him in jail!" And I really don't have time for that.

Later on today I should really finish my application to Columbia University. Although I've always thought I had to have a college roommate, my mom thinks I should request a single dorm. She told me about her friend in college and how her roommate from hell was a dirty birdie who would leave food and clothes all over the place. In fact, her friend was so annoyed by her roommate that they did the whole I Love Lucy thing, running a piece of duct tape right down the center of the room.

I don't know what to believe. I guess I always imagined it would be like Saved by the Bell: The College Years and my best friends from high school would magically be assigned to my dorm. I think I'll take that risk.

Tomorrow I think I'll go to the mall and see Alfie (starring Jude Law and Susan Sarandon), (since I really want to seize one vacation day) and pick up a couple of DVDs while I'm at it. I've been eyeballin' The Best Of The Best, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and of course, White Chicks.
