Penn Tumblr Leaves Nothing To Be Desired

tumblr_menanhqekb1rmjhg2o1_500

For what he’s calling an “artistic project,” Penn junior Dane Maniella recorded every desire he had on December 1, 2012.  And we mean every desire.  Let’s just say hour 0:00 is probably NSFVP (Not Safe For Van Pelt).  If nothing else, this project shows us just how many desires we experience over the course of a day.  In order to stave off our latest desire, not wanting to study for finals, we’ve decided to help Dane out and resolve some of his desires:

  • Dane: I don’t want to be nervous about switching out of engineering.  I want to reassure myself that I made the right choice.  I want others to reassure me that I made the right choice.
  • UTB: You totally made the right choice!
  • Dane: I want to have a favorite Animal Collective song.
  • UTB: You’re welcome.
  • Dane: I want to know where the microphone is on this phone.
  • UTB: iPhone or Blackberry?
  • Dane: I want to make a joke on my pledge class list serve.
  • UTB: How about this one? ;)
  • Dane: I want some lumbar support.
  • UTB: Have you checked Amazon lately?
  • Dane: I want to help out the environment.
  • UTB: It can be easy!
Have any more tips for Dane?  What are the latest desires you are all experiencing from your respective carrels?  Let us know!
