This section deconstructs the styles of today. The tripartite nature of the section demonstrates the intersection of image-word-mathematics.

12:44 pm: finally roll out of bed. attempts to recall last night’s events, but too many people, too many parties.

1:25 pm: first black cup of coffee. receives text from DJ at party last night, hears of dope underground dance party. considers making an appearance.

1:52 pm: skate[board]s up to campus and decides to head to class, not really to learn anything, but just to ensure ‘being seen’.

3:00 pm: cigarette outside the library. runs into friend who happens to be a DJ at WRUV; really wants to get their own show because they know of super underground music and phat remixes.

3:22 pm: goes online to buy bus ticket to New York City for the next weekend; going to Justice concert and staying with a friend who lives in Brooklyn. probably hit up MoMa as well.

5:00 pm: quick snack at city market, then off to watch the sunset over the lake; meeting an awkward hookup from the previous weekend, but it shouldn’t be too awkward, they are bringing a bottle of wine.

7:32 pm: back to a friend’s apartment for cocktails & boardgames. a mini dance party ensues.

8:44 pm: makes trek to south end for the dance party

9:15 pm: dance party is surprisingly excellent. dope beats, nauseating lights and lots of sweaty bodies. another plus: they don’t card.

10:58 pm: takes a break for fresh air/cigarette. bumps into the DJ that told him about the party; decides they’re pretty cute or at least they have an amazing day-glo shirt on that would look super good with his/her outfit.

11:31 pm: dancing exclusively with DJ from outside. a remix of uffie comes on, a perfect way to initiate making out. it works.

1:01 am: heads back to apartment for post dance party party. invites DJ over to watch a freshly bootlegged ‘the dar jeeling limited’. it works as proving they have the ultimate neo- hipster cred, but is suddenly exhausted. kicks out DJ

2:12 am: overwhelming myspace stalking. decides his/ her pictures are definitely not hip enough, plans a photoshoot for the next evening

3:00 am: collapses onto bed still wearing dunks.
