ode to saturday

so here's to being awake for 14 hours and not doing a bit of homework, eh? (oops)

i was up early on account of altar guild, and had a nice morning cleaning/setitng things up with emma, bonnie, and alexis... one thing i always loved about being in charge of an altar guild team at valpo was that it gave me an excuse to be at the chapel sneaking around nooks and crannies way early in the morning before most people were there... same applies now... it's kinda fun to be one of the only 4 people in the building, getting to set stuff up... i like helping out with that :-)

after that, i came home, did laundry and continued my fun of copying all my CDs into the computer (as of last update i hadn't entered the 20 that are usually in a book in my car... halfway done with that now)

after managing to procrastinate ALL FREAKIN DAY LONG (which i absolutely can't afford to do tomorrow), i got ahold of ben this afternoon... as per my IM away message earlier:

useful fact # 473 for interacting with the rutgers math department:
if you can't find ben bunting, either get scott to leave him a shady voicemail or send him a text message that starts with "ben bunting, breaker of pinky swears,..." and he calls you back within 30 seconds. ;-)

(ben has been hard to find lately on account of him studying hard for his second round of qualifying exams (which i get to look forward to doing in a year if i survive the first set in january), so it's tricky to track him down)

anyhow, he's had a good week of winning $$$ off of his roommates in poker this week, so he suggested we go find food, courtesy of his poker winnings, and then see "vanity fair" (which he had pinky swore last night to see with me this afternoon)... we went to IHOP, then to starbucks (since it's freakin cold outside!) and then to a 9:45 showing of the movie, which was really good, but i'm still trying to figure out what exactly it means that it ended at the point it ended at... but indeed, a quality film... i'm glad i have ben for a movie buddy :-)

now, i'm tired and should be asleep... case in point? i get home, parallel park out front as usual, get out of my car, lock it, then stare at it for 30 full seconds at least before i realize why exactly it looks funny to me... i had backed into the spot, and in the process got the rear passenger side tire up on the curb (while the rest of the car was 3 inches lower flat on the street)... had to get back in the car, get off the curb, and resettle the car into the spot for real :-P... yeah... tired...

night y'all.
