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

7:30 am: Wakes up and completes three cycles of Surya Namaskara (that’s the sun salutation to the rest of us).

8:22 am: Eats some [homemade] bread with roommates while roasting some garlic, boosts the immune system!

9:00 am: Decides to blow off first class to petition in front of library. This week it’s forcing the dining halls to serve only fair-trade, free-trade, organic, sustainable coffee.

10:07 am: Runs into SLAP friend outside the horrendous Davis Center (they say it’s green, but they don’t even use recycled toilet paper!) and begin a countdown for the naked bike ride [perfect opportunity to paint anti-war slogans on their yoga toned, never-been-depilitated bodies]. Hell, they might even do an after midterms naked ride who cares if there’s still snow on the ground?!?

12:20 pm: Eats leftover brown rice and tempeh for lunch. Damn! If only she had put more tamari sauce on it.

12:53 pm: Starts knitting some more hats to send to Siberian third-graders.

2:38 pm: Heads downtown to scope out dinner options at City Market (brought own tupperware so she doesn’t waste another paper container). Scoping out the veggie lasagna, then outraged that they didn’t use soy cheese, those bastards! Almost reaches for Kashi bars, but then realizes she can’t, because they have whey in them. More bastards!

5:00 pm: Rolls by the Hempest to check out the new soft goods; their new shipment of bamboo tees is totally sick, but a little too pricey.

6:13 pm: Turns off all the lights and unplugs all the appliances at her apartment. Earth Hour isn’t officially until March, but an hour everyday adds up. Plus, candles have a way better ambiance.

7:30 pm: Checks on the kombucha she’s brewing in the kitchen. Her roommates are mad at her for taking up half the counter, but they’ll thank her once its miracle properties rejuvenate their lives and souls.

8:42 pm: Hour meditation before bed, it clears her heart chakra and cleanses the energy she puts out to the world.

9:59 pm: Early to bed, early to rise (for more sun salutations). Falls asleep thinking of all the signatures she has to get for the ‘make old bookstore area a compost heap!!’ peititon.
