weekend update
i love spring in california. it's just gorgeous and brings my mood up. i keep giggling to think that i nearly went to school in california. well, not really giggling... more manly than that... chuckling. chuckling manly-ly.
this has been a really great weekend. all my finals stuff feels far enough off that i don't feel the need to do any work (though this will absolutely slay me about mid-week) so i've just been having fun. on friday we had absolut a cappella, an a cappella competition worth $300... we did really well even though we only placed 3rd. there's a school near us called mt. sac that just do incredible a cappella and we lost to two all-male groups from there.
i didn't have too much time to be sad about losing thed competition because half way through the competition i left with some people to go to the gabriel mann cd release concert. which was a great concert. y'all should check out gabriel mann, he's an LA piano rock guy who also produces much of the a cappella scene in socal. but he's really good.
after that, i stopped by my friend's apartment party... it was ridiculous as usual. this was a jungle-themed party with, besides all the jungle decorations you might expect, literally 1000 balloons bouncing around. the popping was annoying after a while, especially in my sober state, but the effect was still pretty cool. especially the "balloon room" that was filled about halfway up.
last night, after a day of kindofsomewhat cleaning my room, i went and saw two plays in the coffee house by my dorm, both really good. i love college where great events only cost $5, if that. then it was off to a birthday party at the RO house (for one of the bajillion emilies i've met here). it was a pretty small party but a lot of fun; it was the first party i've been inspired to get really drunk at in a long time. i'm still mad that some random person stole the pinata though. for real, who does that?
and, drawing near to this weekend's end, i went with kevo today to check out a hot tub this guy was giving away to see if we could take it to the RO house. the thing turns out to be 8x8x3 feet and about 800 lbs. that basicalle means we would need a crane to move it... so no hot tub for RO :( . we'll still get a hookah, though. and we'll always have each other.
RO senior send-off concert tonight. 'twill be sad... but at least i get to say nice things about kevo. and he'll be around next semester.
p.s. i bought nunchucks yesterday. don't piss me off because i can go all ninja on your ass now.
