Holy crap, I really do love where I live and this wonderful time of year. I would contend that this is the hap-happiest season of all. Let me tell you a story; a tale filled mostly with the triumph of dumpster diving and the joy resulting in sharing of loot. It all began one sunday morning, the sunday after finals at scsu to be exact. I walked to the bathroom at the crack of 11:30 and glanced out of the window from my throne only to see the most delightful golden chair. Of course, I promptly grabbed it and brought it inside. This find spurred my imagination, "What treasures are currently residing on campus if this beuty was in my own back yard?" So I sallied forth on my bicycle to scour the campus dumpster fare. By this time, however, they were all fairly picked over. I did however find a pretty solid set of computer headphones which I gave to my roommate, Andre. The next day, the very next day, I was seated at my throne once again only to see a fantastic TV stand. This was fortunate, as the TV in the living room was always seated on the bed side table I brought from home. This all pales in comparison to the dumpster-fest I experienced today.
While cleaning the house up after research, I took an armload of trash out to the dumpster only to find two bad japanese horror dvds and an unopened can of beans. If that was not enough, my colleage called me, expressing a desire for me to take a 32" TV off his hands. HOT DAMN. So we go to pick up the TV, and they offer us a fine table as well! Now we have a bangin' table and a new big ole' TV. Plus, they also offered me a 25' coax cable to boot. What a day, and dumpster season isint even over yet!
