Weekend Redux
So I've finally got a moment to sit down and write. Lisa hinted at violence if I failed to expound fully on the events of last weekend, so I figure it's best to hedge my bets against that.
First of all, I want to note that Aztec Center finally has wireless (though it's still technically in a testing phase). What does this mean? It means that now, I never have to leave this place. Starbucks, free wireless internet, starbucks, a couch... I'm set.
Anyway... This weekend was a blast. We all met up in LA (Studio City, technically...). Lisa and Mike were at Mike's dad's place in Huntington Beach celebrating a wedding, and I met them up in LA at Adelle's. We proceeded to the Fox and Hounds Delightfully Appointed Small English Pub ... the same place Adelle and I went when I visited her before. A good time was had by all. After that, we went to the nearby McDonalds for some food. There's something about the Chicken McNuggets everywhere I've had them in LA ... they're impossibly dry. This phenomenon doesn't occur anywhere else... in fact, San Diego McNuggets are quite delicious. We took the food back to Adelle's and popped ina movie. Sleep followed. Lisa and Mike got up pretty early to return to Huntington Beach. Adelle and I visited Jamba Juice before she had to go visit her parents (who recently returned from Italy)... and I was on my way.
The rest of the week has been rather eventless thus far, though the end of last week was pretty cool ... I was elected President of the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts Council, and I won the Outstanding Contribution to Student Government award at the Aztec Achievement Awards on Thursday.
Other than that... yeah. Updates later if I remember.
President of the Banana Republic
I want to be President of the Banana Republic. It would fulfill my goals of running a nation and I'd get clothes too.
This weekend, I went up to LA with Lisa and her boyfriend Mike to visit Adelle again. It was a blast. This morning, I had Jamba Juice in Studio City. How LA is that?
I find I have to be in a blogging mood to write here, and I usually get in that mood about 10AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So I'll post more here tomorrow
kill your television.
It seems I can't watch the news for more than ten minutes without becoming entirely enraged. Sure, it's the media, and enraging people is one thing they do... but I'm not getting mad at the 'bad people' or the 'un-Americans' or anything like that. I'm angry at CNN and the American people. Allow me to elaborate:
Yeah, that's my rant for this evening. Now I'm going to see if there's anything on television that isn't inane.
The Weekend
So I've pretty much sucked at updating this in the past week or so. Having two exams and two papers on top of everything else will pretty much do that to you. So what's been up? Well, let's see... Economics test, Conflict & Conflict Resolution test, National Security Policy paper (read it if you're bored...) Got a B on the first test in that class. It's a fun class. The teacher said on the first day of school that any noteworthy event in the news relating to national or international security was fair game for the final. The world is my textbook. Talk about a hell of a test to study for.
AS and Lambda Chi are going well. The rest of the year should be pretty stable in that regard.
Lisa and I went shopping today. We were going to see 'Kill Bill vol.2' (I've still only seen about 75% of the first movie...) but we realized partway there that the theatre would probably be sold out. So we got Starbucks and Cinnabon instead. Then, we shopped. I got a shirt at J.Crew for $29.95, originally $59.50. Decent, I figure. Then we came home, split a pizza, and I managed to find time to update my blog to boot.
I think that's about it for now. Might go to the beach tomorrow if I get a chance. That'll be nice.
it’s been a while…
So, it's been a while since I last blogged... I thought I was getting pretty good at being consistent there for a while. Anyway, the biggest thing that happened between the last blog and now is that I went to LA to visit Adelle, and to Santa Barbara to visit Naj, Dusty and Nate.
LA was great; I really miss having Adelle around. We went out to an Irish pub and then to McDonalds. On Saturday, I took Adelle to Art's Delicatessen on Ventura Boulevard, where I had my first Monte Cristo sandwich in years. Thereupon, we returned to Adelle's, watched Will and Grace, and I drove to Santa Barbara.
In Santa Barbara, I hung out at Naj's place for a while, and then we walked around Del Playa for a bit. It was fun and relaxing. That weekend was probably the first time I've been able to relax in quite some time. This upcoming weekend I'm mostly free as well, though I have a Policy Paper to do for my National Security class.
Speaking of which, it's about time I leave for that class.
