If night falls in a forest and a tree is still standing, does it cast a shadow?
Oh goodness, Thackeray’s Vanity Fair is hilarious. It’s putting me in the mood for NaNo, which is both good and bad, ‘cause right now I have far too much calculus to do to have any free time to write, which is bad, but it’s also making me think of new ideas, which is good.
Yeah.
Anyway.
So here is a list of things we need to do while I’m back in Moscow:
- Rock Band party
- Drunken party of insane fun (you all know what I’m talking about) in my basement. This time you’ll all need to stay the night, ‘cause I want to drink, too. This could be combined with Rock Band party easily.
- Go on a mini road trip. Because mini road trips are great.
- Screw around in the park.
- Screw around in Shari’s.
- Get naked (could be combined with any/all of the above).
- Drag show (I’m assuming I’ll be there for Pride).
Sound fun? I think so. I miss you weirdos.
Today’s song: Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood by Santa Esmeralda
She Deafened Me with Pseudoscience!
I’m starting to loathe Saturday nights. And I was actually going to post yesterday’s blog, you know, yesterday, but MySpace was being dumb.
Either way, our little “group” went to Kharah’s last night and played a bunch of games (and made a lot of stupid jokes) and shared a bunch of cheese. Welcome to grad school.
Haha, and Michael and I got into an argument over who invented calculus, it was pretty freaking awesome. How come the only cute, pudgy blonde guy I’ve met up here is a proponent of Newton?
Guess you can’t win them all.
And I think I found my Script Frenzy plot.
AND I finished the drawing of Matt. Matt, do you mind if I post it to my DeviantArt page? That way you can actually see it, haha. I can leave your name off of it if you’d prefer.
AND AND this.
Today’s song: You Belong by Northern Kind
DAVID BOWIE’S CROTCH
GOD this is the most I’ve laughed in awhile (last time was when Sean was playing Viva Piñata. I’ve never seen him as stressed out as when he’s playing that game). We totally should have recorded the David Bowie’s Crotch song(s) and made and album. And the whole screeching into the mic for overdrive was too much. Loved it. I can’t believe my dad didn’t hear a decibel of that.
Philosophy Party Primer
Alrighty, here’s a question for y’all: who is (still) interested in having an awesome philosophy party at the end of the next semester? If I get enough people interested (say, 5 or more), I’m doing it!
So, that being said, here are ten possible subjects we can discuss. I was thinking about writing them all down on separate pieces of paper and then drawing them from a jar to get a random topic to talk about, but other suggestions are being considered!
Oh, and if they sound broad and unfocused, it’s because they are meant to initiate conversation. If you guys have any further topics of interest, tell me!
~Consciousness
~Existence of a god figure
~Free will
~Good and evil
~Language
~Life after death
~Morality
~Origin of the universe
~Reality
~Time
Wee! I’m excited. Also, think about which philosopher you’d like to dress up as.
For best results, remove pants
Not a word shall be said.
Except…
AAAH PUSSY!
I used to teach a failing fly-tying class until I realized my efforts were all for knot.
So after a gushing nosebleed that lasted a good half hour this morning (that Amy stopped by banging on the bottom of my feet—don’t ask me how that worked, but it did), we came back from Coeur d’Alene and then went to Shannyn’s party where I learned:
1) I can’t bowl
2) I can’t bowl even when I change my name to a) Voltaire, b) Descartes, or c) Sartre
3) Amy looks good in Gus’s shirt and vice versa
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard…
…in my entire life!! That was the best time I’ve ever had with my friends. Here goes the sequence of events:
1. Candida and Shannyn and I wait for Aneel and E’raina and Amy while Aneel picks out a swimming suit.
2. Go up to room and try on sexy lengerie (including Aneel).
3. Get pizza.
4. Get miscellaneous crap from WinCo.
5. Swim swim!
6. Stripping for Shannyn!
7. “Team America!”
8. Get awful news that Aneel has to leave.
9. Aneel vanishes!
…
And now the fun REALLY starts…
So Aneel leaves and Shannyn and Candida go into the other room we rented. This leaves Amy, E’raina and I. We watch some dating shows on TV (including Next), and we ponder pillow fighting, which occurs. As we’re doing this, E’raina starts texting Aneel, asking him…um…”personal” questions while he is desperate for pics of our pillow fights. Then he went to bed cause we wouldn’t give him any pictures.
Then E’raina and Amy were messing around on the beds and then we were all lying in one bed and we started having these conversations about SUBWAY!! We were talking about cucumbers and that led to the best quotes of the night:
-“Crunchatize me, Cap’n!” ~E’raina (this had me laughing for about three hours)
-“Subway…eat fresh!” ~Amy
-“Subway…eat fresh…with Jared!” ~Me
And here are some other fun ones:
-“It’s gettin’ cold in here…so put on all your clothes…” ~E’raina
-“The tusk senses all!” ~Me
Holy crap…we were laughing so hard…then Amy and E’raina started wrestling and I took some photos in the dark, which I have to get developed real soon. I don’ think we had any neighbors, or else we would have gotten kicked out of the hotel.
That was the best night I’ve ever had!!
Turn off the lights! T-t-turn off the lights!
Man, I’m bored. Can you tell? A week from now, I’ll be decorating my dorm room…creepy.
Tonight, however, is my happy party! Hooray!
