The Perils of Sleep
Jimbo returns, making sure to check the weather on his computer. I guess he wanted to see what kind of harsh winter conditions he would have to face tomorrow. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor blinding sunlight could keep little Jimbo from sleeping through class. I almost feel sorry for the little guy; it's hard to sleep when the midday sun is shining in your eyes, yet somehow he manages to suffer through it every day. That takes dedication.

Sad Jimmy
A power outage knocked out Jim's alarm clock last night, so he didn't wake up for his first class today. He was so depressed because of this that he lay in bed silently sobbing to himself until noon, when he got up for lunch. He has been consoling himself by shopping for cars on eBay for the past 6 hours.

The End of the World
Jimmy left for class. The apocalypse is near.
We've Got a Problem
Something is seriously wrong.
Following a little coercion from a person who shall remain unnamed (just to spite him), Jimmy put all his shirts on hangers in the closet, and completely unpacked his duffel bag. After a little confusion about where he should store his copies of Penthouse, it was decided it would be best to casually place them on the dresser, along with the travel Chinese Checkers game he carries around just in case.
I have also discovered that Jimmy has a bit of a foot fetish. That might explain why he seemed very embarrassed when I walked in on him reading a Payless catalog the other day.

Sssssshhhh Don't Wake Little Jimmy
Going to class yesterday must have really wore Jim out. The poor guy is still asleep.

Amish Paradise
Jimbo didn't go to class today "because [he] wasn't up in time." I know Jimbo has an aversion to showering, but I didn't realize until today that he is, in fact, an Amish runaway. That would explain his utter fascination with his computer (since he has never used one before), and also why he can't figure out how the alarm on his clock works. The Amish-style Hawaiian shirts he always wears should have given it away sooner.

Bye Bye Alarm Clock
Obviously feeling inadequate because it wasn't able to get James up for class most of the week, his alarm clock decided to prove it could get me out of bed at 7:30am on a Saturday. It has since been unplugged in the interest of energy conservation. It's not like Jimmy ever used it anyways.

It's Back
Jimbo returns, and the people rejoice. I kind of missed the little guy, in a happy, throw a party because he's gone sort of way.

Jimmy's New Style
Apparently taking all his clothes home every weekend isn't enough to keep all Jimmy's clothes clean, so he is instituting a new method of extending the time before he needs to do laundry. Today he is wearing his Hawaiian shirt inside out. Some people might think this is an accident, but one would expect that he had to notice when he tried to button it up.
Maybe Jimmy is on the bleeding edge of the fashion world and this is the hottest new fad in Europe. Inside out Hawaiian shirts...who would have thought?

New Reading Material
Jimbo has finally returned, carrying the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Apparently he was getting tired of Penthouse and wanted something a little more racy.

Additions to the Desk
The stress of not going to classes must really be wreaking havoc on Jim's stomach. His desk is now gracefully adorned with a giant "Value Size" container of TUMS. He has also added some Altoids, in case he bumps into a beautiful voluptuous girl on his way to and from the bathroom or cafeteria. I can see how he would have to beat off the ladies with a wire hanger; they love the inside-out dirty shirt look, especially when sported by a guy who hasn't showered.

New Intellectual Pursuits
Jimmy has undertaken the daunting intellectual task of watching every single episode of The Simpsons. I was obviously misguided when I said he was wasting his tuition dollars.

Jimbo's Morning Ritual
9:15AM - Alarm goes off. Roommate turns it off. Roommate goes back to sleep. Looks like the beginning of another gloriously productive day for Jim.

Why is Jimmy Single?
Jimmy is currently reading an article on a dating site titled "Why are you single?". I honestly don't know why Jimmy doesn't have a girlfriend. I think girls would love a guy whose entire wardrobe consists of Hawaiian shirts and who lives out of a duffel bag, kind of like a gypsy. Nothing says "I want commitment" like never unpacking your clothes. I can't believe there aren't more girls throwing themselves at him, because if he had a girlfriend, he would have plenty of time to spend with her, since he has mastered the art of using his time effectively. No inefficient wastes of time for Jimmy. For example: He didn't shower at all last week just so that he would have time to watch all the episodes of The Simpsons. That is just so sexy.

Still Sleeping
Jimbo is still sleeping. He must be really worn out from all that Internet surfing.

Paperboy
It appears that James was attempting to read the newspaper. I say "attempting" because it looks more like the newspaper fairy threw up on his bed. But at least he's trying to keep up on world events, or maybe he's realized that if he spreads newspaper on his bed he won't have to leave to go to the bathroom, kind of like a giant Jimmy litter box.
Maybe I should tell him that he can read the news on the Internet...but he probably wouldn't have time for something like that.

Jimmy Houdini
Jimmy has disappeared. Magically enough, the only time he can manage the excruciating task of rolling out of bed before noon is on the days when he goes home. Sometime between when I left for class at 10am and now, he has fled. He's a sneaky little guy.
