catching up
so uhm, i turned 22 about a week ago, that was fun. didn't really do much.
hawkeye football is the crapper, so i'm trying to find something else to occupy my time so i don't go insane thinking about it.
went to state college, pa for the iowa/psu game this weekend, and had a pretty good time, outside of the game. went to a great restaraunt called champ's, apparently a chain, but it's localized? they had this sweet thing called like a personal table tapper, which like 120 ounces of beer in a giant, like 5-foot tall tube, with a spigot on the end. there's also something in the base of this contraption that keeps the beer cold and fizzy. obviously with 3 people, we're not going to get one, but seeing other groups go through it was pretty impressive.
had my fair share of the boozes, none of which i paid for. yey to that.
then came the game. blech.. bad game. then we went to call a cab to go back to the hotel, and state college only has THREE cab companies. one wasn't answering, one went straight to an answering machine, and the third one said he'd be there in 10 minutes. 25 minutes later, no cab, so we started walking. at like 10:30 at night, about 2 miles back to the hotel. that sucked, but it made up for the workout i missed on thursday.
speaking of workout, i hadn't been back to the gym since i went to arizona in july, but decided i need to get back on it, so i went in, bought my pass, and stepped on the scale, expecting some bad tihngs to be shown to me. to my surprise, i'd actually lost 6 more pounds since then. i guess cutting out massive amounts of soda can do that to a person? lol
oh, our hotel was attached to a bowling alley, like literally, the front desk of the hotel was the same place you check out bowling shoes, totally ghetto, totally awesome.
got to bed on saturday night/sunday morning around 12:30 eastern time. woke up at 4:00 eastern time to catch a 6:00 eastern time flight. none of the flights were long enough to get any sort of sleep, so it's now 7PM, and i've been awake for coming up on 17 hours now, and it's not treating me well.
saw matisyahu in the airport. at least i'm 90% sure it was matisyahu. or there is some other matisyahu-looking, techno-connected, cargo pants-wearing, hassidic jew wandering around the detroit airport.
going out on thursday to celebrate my birthday, like 15 people are coming. quite, quite surprised and excited, 'specially to party con jill. drunk jill is one of my favorite jills. my goal: play some pool, play some darts, drink some beers, and make an ass out of myself to some random chicks. maybe i'll start talking like mystery. gotta get some peacocking going on, some DLV, sets, multithreading, shit like that. word.
this week is a little calmer, as there aren't five airplane flights taking up my weekend...
hearts to you all.
