During college Luc kept a Magic 8-ball on his toilet tank. The gesture of shaking it knowing that only one, unelaborated, advice-free reply was going to appear in his hands calmed Luc’s mind during its most frantically contemplative moments. When he finished college and left childish pleasures like 8-balls to his past, he continued with the same decion-making strategy, and continued to employ it quite often in bathrooms. He would find two possible solutions to whatever situation he had pickled himself into, and then would count the tiles on the floor, agreeing that if the number was odd, he would proceed with plan one, and if the number was even, plan two. Luc always felt like he was cheating when it came to half tiles. But if he didn’t count the half tiles, it seemed like it would be cutting destiny short. This is why Luc prefers rooms that measure into good ratios.
