Firstly, we had people move in upstairs. This really isn't that big of a deal except for the fact that every few hours or so it sounds like they are dropping a bowling ball on the ground. That or they are construction workers who bring their work home with them. Who knows. And FYI, as we speak it sounds like they are moving around furniture.
Next, when the semester started, we were playing a lot of board/card games here. The game action has cooled down a bit, which is kind of a bummer, but understandable nonetheless. We've played Stratego, Risk, Wizard, Boggle, Scrabble Slam, Pictionary Man, and probably others. I'd definitely be interested in picking that back up.
Other big news is our functioning record player. This is probably the most wonderful new addition to our apartment. Since we've been back at school we've spun many a record. I picked up What's Going On by Marvin Gaye, Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder, Illinoise by Sufjan Stevens, and Gish by the Smashing Pumpkins, which added to my already awesome (budding) record collection.
I also took my senior portrait. I got to wear a graduation gown and everything. I get a special sash because I get my B.S., rather than B.A. Its not as much "special" as it is different from the one the B.A. kids get, but I'll take what i can get, right? I thought it was kind of cool. In that same vein, I filled out my "intent to graduate" form. This ish is getting real, and fast.
I've resumed my practice of yoga, and also look forward to resuming my trips to the gym. On my to-do list for tomorrow is to go buy basketball sneakers so I can play basketball comfortably, as well as do other physical activities without having terrible foot pain, and leg pain, as well whatever other problems come from having bad shoes. I looked into getting the Kobe V's, but they are $130.00, and realistically, I'm probably not even cool enough to own them, let alone wear them AND attempt to play basketball in them. If only I could get $20 Starbury's.
Some of us also made it out to another "brewery." I only put brewery in quotes because it wasn't really a brewery like Yuengling was in the sense that it was like a factory-esqe place that did bottling and stuff. The place in question is the Brooklyn Brewery, located in, you guessed it, Brooklyn. The place was like two rooms: one where they brewed the beer, and another, which was kind of like a bar, where they sold beer. It was a totally different vibe than Yuengling, because of the fact that it was essentially a bar, rather than a beer museum. I still have to get out to the Sam Adams brewery, and the Magic Hat brewery, which is much less likely, because it is in Burlington, VT (how Vermonty!).
well, i guess that's enough for now.
peace, love, & new neighbors,
m.w.w.
