Michelle's been really sad all day. Her favorite professor pass away on Wednesday. Professor Alan Dundes, was really a great prof. I had him for a Folklore class. He was seriously an amazing and charismatic speaker. I remember when I was writing the final paper for the class, I went to him to ask him for help on finding research sources. I went into office hours and he said, "You busy right now?" and led me to the library then and there and did most of my research for me. That was the type of teacher he was. He loved to teach, he loved folklore, he was a great person.

He was funny and dirty too. I remember he freudian analyzed football. Made it like the opposing teams were trying to put it in each others' endzones. Also with names of positions like the tightend and whatnot. It was funny.

It was funny and interesting to me that this dirty old man was one of the leaders in his field of Folklore. He's a legend in the field. He pumped out like 5 books a year. In fact he had just finished a definitive set on folklore for a British Publishing company just by mid-march.

He really helped Michelle out through some bad times. She would always talk to him when she was having problems. He was always just so approachable. Michelle's been crying all day.

I didn't know Professor Dundes as well as Michelle did, but I still miss him already. As I know many other students do as well....

Good night.

So finally all moved out of the ELC. UGH! What a long arduous move. Thanks to Steve, Shyam, Yap, Swearha, and Kerem for helping with the move, I really appreciated it. So Sarah mentioned before she left for her Grandma's funeral, that before she left El Cerrito she wanted a picture where she looked back longingly at the empty apartment. Like she was reminiscing about all the pleasurable memories and the good times had there. Well I was like hey, "That's a great idea!" Then I thought, "Wait a minute... This place sucks balls! FUCK YOU EL CERRITO! FUCK YOU!!! AND YOUR CAT!"

No but seriously..... fuck you the ELC.... fuck you right in the ass. Steal my car twice will you... well you can suck my balls and lick my grundle after I've ran around Shitpep all day... in Summer.. puta.
