David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

hazy recollections from early morning:
noise: KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
man: MAINTENENCE!
michael: [awoken and confused] ..could you come back later?
man: were you sleeping?
michael: yes.
man: we just need to check the smoke alarms. you can stay in bed.
michael: ..okay
michael hides beneath blankets
man: [enters room]
noise of aerosol spray
pause
noise of aerosol spray
pause
man: [quietly, to self] ..damn things not connected.
noise of fiddling with things
noise of aerosol spray
noise of hell unleashing its fury in claxon form
man: [exits room]
I have decided that washington university is a fiery death trap. last year the fire alarm was nearly inaudible from my room and would not be heard above music, let alone wake me in the middle of the night. (I informed my RA, but it was never fixed.) and now I learn that I have been living with a broken smoke detector all summer.
a fiery death trap.
