Enjoyed a cool one

Picture of the Day

Nothing screams "Freshman year" quite like an Icehouse truck. However, I can't think of too many times I enjoyed it responsibly, unless you define "responsibly" as "excessively"

Random Fact of the Day
On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year. (So stop chewing that pen cap!)


This weekend was pretty nice. Friday night, I took it easy. I just watched a movie (The Longest Yard) and crashed out around 1ish, maybe a little later. Saturday, I woke up early and headed to Adrian to visit some of Kari's family. It was cool, we got Quiznos on our way out to the highway, which Aaron hooked up phat, and then rolled to Adrian. We went to her Grandfathers house first, and he had cooked up some very tasty spaghetti and meatballs. We visited with him for a while, took a walk around the pond, and headed out to her other Grandparent's place. Her other grandparents were watching U of M lose when we arrived, and we chilled for a bit before heading out to her Uncle's place to see their first house. It was nice, visited for a bit, then headed back to her grandparent's place for some sloppy joes, which I havn't had in who knows how long. Ate a few of those, which were really good, then got back on the road to head home.On the way home, I saw a sign for "U-pick pumpkins" and we decided to get off the highway. It was like 10 miles off the road though, but it was really fun walking through, looking at all the pumpkins, deciding which ones we should pick. We picked a couple nice pumkins and headed out.

Got home and chilled for a bit, waiting for Amber's party. Headed to Amber's at around 10 or so, and there really wasn't that many people there. The keg was still pretty full, and we just chilled, literally, because it was so damn cold outside! Didn't get any pong done, the table was packed, but we did get our money's worth for the cups! Went to bell's pizza after, and IT WAS THE GROSSEST BELLS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I got 3 pieces, a mistake, and they were so greasy and nasty, eeh, just thinking about it makes me feel sick. I ate the small two first, and choked down the third, just trying not to puke on my plate. Went home shortly afterwards and passed out.

Sunday morning, we woke up and headed out to Uncle John's apple orchard. It was really cool, we bought some apples and cider, it was just so nice to get outta the city once again. They had a wine tasting room, which I had never done. They had hard cider and all sorts of wine. I picked up one of their apple wines and after chillin for a while, we headed home. I watched the rest of the Lion's game, and at around 5:30 my parents came up and took Aaron and I out to eat at Champ's, the best damn restaurant in the greater EL area. (That I've found, at least) Got home from there and headed up to B-dubs with Brendan to watch a wrestling pay per view. Now, I'm not a huge wrestling fan, I never watch it on TV or follow who's who. However, I used to watch, especially as a small kid, and remember my favorite being the Undertaker. He was wrestling last night, so we went and watched, but I was pissed he lost!!! Also, these two dudes got in a fight during one of the matches, and he hit the other dude and laid him out on the ground. See what happens, B-dubs, when you show viloent sports? Anyways, took off around 10:30 and watched a movie with Kari while we sipped on our wine from the orchard. The movie, a chick flick called "The Wedding Date" was so amazingly absurd, I really don't know what to say, other than I'm glad I had a buzz goin. So cheesy, with quotes like "I'd rather fight with you than make love with anybody else." It was about a gigilo who goes to a wedding with some chick whose sister is getting married to her ex who is sleeping with his best friend, or something like that. Basically, it was Deuce Bigalo without Rob Shnyder, and funny jokes, and it had a much less beleivable plot. That said, it was just really nice to spend a calm, evening with Kari after a long, cold weekend.

This morning, I went to my econ class, and I'm home for a little break. I'm about to head out to Chem, then my other Econ class, then the library to study up for my Chem exam next Monday, which is a long ways away, but I need to start today if I'm gonna do well in that stupid fucking class.


This is the time of year people get sick, so put on a coat, dammit!
