I scampered into the classroom, where I was sup- posed to present, and plugged my computer into the projector. I had already half-started my presentation. I finally got every- thing set up and opened my com- puter. I have an Apple, so you can shut it when you are in the mid- dle of things and open it back up whenever you please and every- thing is still opened and on the screen - which is usually very convenient. But this time, when I opened my computer and the screen was pro- jected onto the wall, I wished that it didn't do that. The night before I had been watching the MTV show Bam's Unholy Reunion. The next episode advertised his wife posing for Play- boy. So I had been messing around with one of my friends and we were looking up the photos. So Playboy. com was on the screen. To gain campus immortality, submit your own Arbor Anec- dotes. E-mail submissions to news@michigandaily.com. I thought I was in the clear once I got that out of the way. But then my love of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue got the better of me. The SI Swimsuit website was also open. At this point, the room was drowning in laughter. I tried to make things right with a little quip about my roommate using my com- puter. It might have worked, except for what happened next. once the windows were closed, I saw that my desktop photograph had been changed. Everyone in my class was left staring at a fat, naked man wearing a women's swim cap in what looked to be a child's nursery. After that, though, my presenta- tion went reasonably well. ASHLEA SURLES The Fishbowl is a wonderland Have you ever been in the Fish- bowl when it closes? Well, I have. And it's scary. I had thought the badly lit court- yard was open 24 hours all week, but at about 11 p.m. last week, the manwho sits at the front desk loudly informed me it would close in half an hour. I wasn't upset - it gave me an unexpectedly viable reason to stop doing work. If anything, I was grate- ful. And then it happened. With no warning, the computing site went completely dark. The front desk was blasting "Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer. Confused and frightened, I left. One thing is clear: I'll never look at those front-desk workers the same way again.
