For real this time...

Hey all,

It's about 1:30 PM on Sunday. I'm sitting here in my Batman pj's and having a bit of breakfast. How lazy of me. Oh well.

So, the last two posts were lame. Here is a summary of last weeks events and observations:

Picking up on Wednesday...Wednesday was pretty bland. I just had class all day.

Thursday brought more class, but after dinner, I went over to Meghan and Lissa's room and played Mario Cart for about 3 hours. It was a blast, not to mention a good break from the grind. Also, Lissa earned a new nickname: Toad. I suggest you ask her about it.

Friday night I was supposed to go to the X-Games, but I didn't want to spend money on a room, and besides, it was good to have some time with Sydney. Anyway, for dinner, I went over to my friend Casey's house and had some tasty homemade waffles, skillet potatoes, and bacon. It was a great meal compared to icky dorm food.

As for Saturday, I slept late, just as I promised I would, cleaned my room, did some homework and spent the evening with Sydney. After that, I had a late dinner at Chipotle with Chance which was excellent, and met a new friend Allie. It was a good night.

Basically, it was a pretty uneventful week.

So, random observations:

The sludge that comes out of the orange juice machine in the dining hall is best cut with some cranberry juice.

The Boss & Co. shotgun that Ernest Hemingway used to kill himself was purchased through Abercrombie and Fitch, which at the time was a huge retailer of excursion goods and distributor of firearms. Moral of this story? Don't buy Abercrombie and Fitch.

While I'm on that train of thought, I should tell you all that Hollister, California, the locale for which the clothing company is named is actually the garlic capital of the world. Every time you wear your brightly colored, overpriced, preppy little Hollister Co. t-shirt, you are actually advertising for garlic.

And I just gotta say, what is up with Virginia Tech? I mean no offense, but that place has to be the scariest college in the United States. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, last week a 22 year old grad student from Beijing named Xin Yang was brutally attacked and decapitated with a large kitchen knife by a man she knew named Haiyang Zhu, who was from Ningbo, China. The event took place in a student life center. My heart goes out to those affected by this tragedy, and all those who attend Virginia Tech. Those people have withstood a lot pain and suffering as a school in the past 10 months, and I hope that nothing of this magnitude ever happens again at the renowned school.

Well, never to end things on a sour note, here is some entertainment:



Now you guys all have a good day.
