Fugue #134

"So-and-so never had a chance."

The opening line from the Groovy Mice’s sophomore album, Crushed Ice. Sung-spoken, wearily (think Lou Reed) by Chester "Mouse" Morley over an undistorted riff by his songwriting partner, and GM guitarist/boss, Kevin Kasey.

Ana turns down the music and reviews her schedule with Enbal:

M - class 9-12, office hours 1-3, photo shoot 4-6?
T - sleep in, class 12-1(English 67 seminar), work out
W - class 9-12 & 1-2, work out or massage/nails/hair, etc.
Th - NOTHING, work out, then study and play with P.
F - class 9-12, appointment with Marbell...

Weekend? Catch up on everything, and find at least some time to chat with her roommate.

Enbal is nonplussed.
- Are you really that busy?
- Yeah.
- Too busy to return calls, emails, whatever?
- Yeah.
- Live a little, Ana. You’re missing this time.
- I know, I know.
