In His Time

Library Talk

It just suddenly struck me how many nicknames we've given to the regulars in the library today.

1. Adrain Brody Lookalike:
This coursemate of mine from Kuwait looks exactly like Adrian Brody. His eyes reflect the melancholy of the Pianist. His hair is dark and his nose is hooked. Once, when I was in the cluster with Sunny and he was sitting just across us, I googled "Adrian Brody" and showed the resultant picture to Sunny and asked her to look across at him, with the result that we both ended up in fits of giggles.

2. The Greek Guys:
They have dark wavy hair and olive complexions and are short and look Greek.

3. The Andrew Lookalike:
One of the regulars on the 13th floor looks alot like a shorter, slightly mustachioed version of my good friend Andrew. Man, I can't decide which of the two looks more like Andrew. (strange philosophical tangle ensues)

4. The Guy With The Cast
Some guy who broke his arm.

5. CosmoAdam
My coursemate from Cosmology, who's called Adam, who to differentiate him from the millions of other Adams we know has been christianed Cosmology Adam, short for CosmoAdam. Which sounds pretty cool, as he could just as easily have been called Coding Theory Adam, which is nowhere near as studly.

So you see, hanging out in the library isn't too bad after all. And besides getting to observe all these interesting new people, you also have enlightening material to read. And there are all these things called study breaks, where you get to go to the Union with your friends and buy chocolate, and there are also these things called condensed study breaks where you get to go to the vending machine on the Red Route freezing in a thin cardigan and buy chocolate, so it really isn't too bad a life to be living.

  • Why is it that no matter where you go, there's always someone with a broken arm standing around?

    I can't recall that many of my mates breaking limbs, is it that common?

    LOL
