self-titled: ^_^
the weeks that weren't
why hello there.
i'll admit it, i've been bad. it started out when the guy who was hosting the s-t domain decided he wasn't hosting it anymore. ok, no biggy, i mean, he WAS doing it for free for over a year, and that's a lot to ask of someone. so whatever, i got new hosts, had the nameservers fixed up, but then it still wasn't working. i found out it was because BC is lame, and they just haven't refreshed the listings, so the rest of the world can get here, BC can't unless you do some manual fixy thing. so i was using that as an excuse, but now fuck it, time to catch up.
a lot's happened in the past 2+ weeks. i'll be lucky if i can cover 5% of it.
i finished the first half of my paper late in the evening of tuesday the sixth, like at 4am. Wrote the second half at work and e-mailed it off.
thursday the 8th: bostonians sang national anthem at the bruins game. it's such a rush to hit those last lines and hear the audience start screaming. after the game i went to sean's, had a few beers and proved once and for all that when it comes to old school nintendo sports games, i am an indomitable force. I kicked sean's ass in double dribble, ice hockey (love the 4 fat guy team) AND blades of steel. Then we took a cab to mcelroy, drank beer through straws for the end of the acoustics cafe, and then went to the acoustics party. hell of a time was had there. katie and i lived in and trashed the kitched, i got sooo drunk. people were writing on other people with sharpies, i invented a derivation of pass the ice called "put ice down people's pants." and then i got home at like 3 or something ridiculous and watched brenda finish a paper.
friday the 9th: who the hell knows.
Saturday the 10th: i'm going to guess that this was the BC Miami game. It was so damn close, a true disappointment when after an amazing drive that would have tied it we got an interception that was run for a miami TD. oh well, it's not like they're 1st in the nation and we were down one star running back or anything. oh yeah, kate and sarah's friend greg was up. after the game, i checked out dating games with my crew, that was entertaining. and then i went to adam's with kate sarah and greg unless of course i'm forgetting something. roommates and friends went to diana's and we were all supposed to meet up at 1661. well, no one at diana's was sober enough to make the trip, so at around 12:30 we left 1653 and collected te drunk kids at diana's and kicked it ome.
Sunday the 11th: CLASS NIGHT. man was this fun. the most fun i've had and i wasn't even participating, it was just so cool to send everyone out and hear the stories and all that. kicked off in edmonds where the guys played russian roulette and asshole and then the seniors went to lori's where we played some drawing game where we drank and it was soooo early. wasted, we got back to campus, had late night, then had a power hour in my room, then watched survivor across the hall. went back to katie's heard the stories, got our shit (new cds for the evening: vincent gallo - when, amfm - getting into sinking, kleenex girl wonder - ponyoak, and my morning jacket's christmas album (this one was improvd) ) also, john made out with an othermusic employee. too cool. meeting at katie's ruled, then we broke up and i got home to see a party still raging on in my room. the freshman came earlier in the night to play beirut and the guys and girls kept it alive. hells yes.
monday the 12th: umm, stuff happened maybe, and then i went into harvard with brenda where we saw the philadelphia story at the brattle, which i don't know if i mentioned the last time i went, has new comfy seats.
tuesday the 13th: yeah, who knows.
wednesday the 14th: funny how as i'm getting closer to the present how i'm forgetting things. got a B+ on my papers.
thursday the 15th: see?
friday the 16th: ok, i've got stuff for this. shit happened, and then i went to. OH WAIT. on tuesday, i ordered headphones because my old pair had some unfortunate accidents. so i ordered the $80 pair, they arrived today, and instead of them sending me the $80 pair, they charged me for the $80 pair and sent me the $200 pair. I win. Then i went to ground round and ate dinner with katie, mike, oly, lori, toben, al and some girl. I put a harry potter lightning bolt on my forehead and we saw harry potter. it fucking owned. sooooooo good. as i've told many people, i have only two complaints: fred and george are way too dorky, and prof. mcgonogal or however it's spelled was sooo not foxy. But aside from that, 2.5 hours not a dull moment. Then we went to leblanc's for a bostonians alumni get together. it was also amazing, so many old people, so much beer, so much bullmoose, and blah blah blah.
saturday the 17th: woke up early went to the massive rehearsal, came home, drank, went to the alumni show, drank more, made an ass of myself apparently. that aside, the show fucking ruled, old people singing cool songs. then we went to the banquet which was also cool. i was in full sketchy form, drank, ate, madeout, danced, drank, danced, drank etc. afterwards we went to a hotel room and it was fun but broke up way too soon. i came home, slept.
sunday the 18th: yesterday, huh? umm, i arranged and rehearsed.
today: got yelled at by brenda for sleeping too much, and she's right. i hate that i require so much sleep. shit, i don't even require it, i went this summer on 6 hours a night, but now, shit, i need to stay in bed for 10 at least. anyway, gorgeous day, here we are november 19th, and i'm outside almost hot wearing a long-sleeved shirt. i went down to harvard to buy cds. got the avanlanches disc, the joe pernice big tobacco disc, the radiohead live ep, and umm, the new silver jews disc. i really wanted the dntel disc but alas, they were out. listening to the radiohead disc reminded me what an absolutely unbelievable show that was this summer. then i came home, ate, went to monsters inc. with tara and the guys, and now i'm here, finally doing this and getting ready for some beirut action to celebrate our last night before thanksgiving break.
so tomorrow i go home, friday i go to kate's with tim, to party and then to see the BC game saturday ,then i guess i come here.
so the weeks in review: two back to back amazing weekends. it's funny how even class night has been eclipsed by the alumni festivities of this past weekend. i forgot to get a job from the alumni, but that's ok. and as for the rest of my life, things are looking up.
peace out and enjoy your thanksgivings.
