Things that people do

I was recently given the role of a clown in a short movie about The Joker. As I was eating alone in the Piano Row cafe (it's like the dining hall, except with less options and you have to pay money), I was eavesdropping as I often do, when I heard a girl tell somebody else that she was going to play Harley Quinn, and after a moment I figured out she was talking about The Joker movie. It crossed my mind to ask her about it, but I didn't. I left the cafe without seeing her face.

There's a guy named Jeff who runs the security desk in the lobby of the Walker building, where the library is. He's modest and unassuming - like me, but black and well-groomed. As I left the building today, I noticed he was reading one of the S.D. Perry Resident Evil novels. I think it might have been Underworld. I suddenly wished I had read any of them.
