Where am I?
I am in Fallout 3's belly. It has consumed me. Hopefully I will pass through its bowels soon enough so that I can get on with my life.
I Never Realized
But, thanks to Phil's brother David, Bud Lime definitely tastes like Fruit Loops. That was possibly the most fun I've had playing Mario Kart.
I Thought I Was Above These?
I spent basically the entire night after dinner here in McCormick lounge "watching" Firefly, playing Kirby Air Ride, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, various Mega Mans, random nostalgia-inducing SNES games, and then watching Dexter's Laboratory and Whose Line is it Anyway thanks to Jeremy's external harddrive and my soft-modded Wii. Far, far too many asians decide that the morning is the best time to practice the piano. The morning when we're watching things or playing games or trying to listen to music to fill out a stupid quizmeme thing (it's in the cut... also on Facebook). Overall, not a very bad night at all. What we did maybe wasn't all that.. great I guess, but who I was with the entire time were pretty damn awesome. And that's what counts.
Ugh... Intro to Unix exam Monday night and a Data Networks exam on Devil's Night...
One of the random woot shirts I got is really freaking cute. It's this cute-ass robot sitting on this sloth or something's shoulders. It's a light-gray shirt. Pretty awesome. The other one is an awkward pale-yellow color with... you know this famous painting? Imagine it with squirrels and houses made out of giant acorns behind them. On a sickly pale-yellow color. It's... eh. Mostly it's the color that bothers me, not the graphic...
I am impressed with my laptop speakers. I am sitting here in McCormick lounge at six forty-five in the morn, blasting the music from the thing above and it doesn't sound all that bad. Granted, it could sound a hell of a lot better, but I'm never going to seriously listen to music through these speakers.
I think I might have messed up my foot a bit by walking on couches and tables (like I always do!) instead of around them. I kind of expected the cushion of the couch to be more firm than it was, I guess? and came down and my foot just went out from under me. SOMEHOW I was able to save myself from smashing my face right into the corner of the table due to the loss of balance. I bet I just sprained the thing or something and should therefore take it easy for a bit. It'll probably feel better in the morning. I am able to put all my weight on the thing for like ten seconds before it gets awfully uncomfortable. It's not swelling or anything, so I don't think anything's really wrong, per se.
There is this one girl that I see everywhere on campus. More so than creepy-I'm-going-to-stare-at-Tony-everytime-I-see-him-especially-after-he-gets-out-of-the-shower kid that lives just across the way in North hall! And that's a feat, since I see Sir Creeps-A-Lot all over the place. Something is wrong if I do not see this girl at least once a day. Average sightings per day is nearing the solid number of two. I might like smile at her, nod, say hi, etc., but everything about her is just very... I dunno. She looks kind of plain, I guess, but it's not really that turning me off. It's more the way she holds herself, how she walks slowly, her expressionless face... Is there a person in there? It could be a robot! Stalking me.. waiting for the right moment to DISINTEGRATE ME :shock: At least she doesn't creepily smile at me like creepy-kid, and then laugh a little bit to himself. WHAT THE FUCK DUDE, SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE SCARING ME.
Just seventeen minutes until sunrise! Too bad I'm not on the lake or anything, I'm sure that would look amazing. I need to do that sometime.. go watch the sunrise over Lake Michigan. This is my third year here, you'd think I would have done that already.
Sitting here in McCormick lounge at fuck-you in the morning has caused me to realize.. I have a laptop! I don't have to sit on my room all the time anymore! I mean, not that I had to before, but now I can still be connected.. anywhere! I should sit in lounges more often. Perhaps even MTCC once or twice.
Glad I Didn’t Go Home
I have to say that Fall Break was a lot better than I had hoped. My sleep schedule was pretty fucked up for most of it, but I'm on track now. Thursday night consisted of Corey, Phil, Joy, Katie, and me going to Clarke's (delicious!) and generally having a good time. Um.. brain fart time... Pretty sure the rest of the weekend was just spent hanging out with Corey and Phil. I think we went out to lunch on Friday or Saturday? I watched Phil beat Dr. Wily on Saturday, so we were finally able to play Mario Kart again. I'm not sure if it's because we're all on the same floor (and Corey and I aren't rooming again), but the three of us have been hanging out a lot and talking a lot more than we did last year. It's really nice. We're also a hell of a lot louder in Mario Kart lately. Jumping up and down and having a damn good time, generally. It's really fun.
Casey made cheesecake over the weekend, I had a slice on Sunday. It was really good, almost too good. I couldn't finish it, it was just too much :( Kind of like how those "death by chocolate" chocolate cakes are.
Overall, a very nice break. Now I really need to get that car fixed... Parking Services emailed me and was all "hey, there's a car that belongs to you in this lot, what the fuck?"
And I need to get back into that "doing things" state of mind. Problem is, I don't think I've ever been in that state of mind.
The Road to Betterment:
- Dump baggage.
- Get my ass in gear for school.
- Work out.
Got the first one done. Am working on the third one. I've been keeping an almost regular schedule when it comes to doing push-ups. Did you know that the shower curtain bar in the South showers is surprisingly sturdy? Makes for a GREAT chin-up bar. And it's right there everytime I take a shower, which is every day. I already feel a lot better now that I've been doing this just a little bit.
Um, that second one, though? I'll get back to you after this week is over... I need to finish up three lab reports and study for three different exams. At least this week ends on Wendesday at 3:05PM, though! Yay for fall break! Yay for not having a reason to go home anymore! It'll be nice and laid back this weekend. I imagine Phil and I will finally get around to beating Mega Man 9 this weekend too.
Over the past two months or so I've acquired a fair amount of small t-shirts that fit a hell of a lot better than my old larges. Hell, some of my larges were actually extra-large, that I've had since junior high! WTF. These smalls fit a lot better. I really like how they look on me too. Paul Schizzy thought I lost weight when he saw me the other day, but it's really just because I'm wearing shirts that fit a hell of a lot better now.
The one-acts and improv that I saw on Friday were really well done. No offense to the one-act directors or actors, but improv is consistently better than whatever follows them. Especially the comedian Thursday night. She was complete balls.
