Some Uganda Fun

I'm on youtube:

We had a reunion party last night, and it was really nice to remember how fun this past summer was.

Party Time Part Deux commences Saturday evening with a rousing BANG! tournament. I'm sure complete chaos will ensue.

30 Seconds

I went to a concert tonight. I forgot how much I like them. For reals it kind of gives you a high. I enjoy being smushed into a whole bunch of people who are all there because they love music.

Of course, it has its downsides, too. People also tend to forget all sense of common decency and push, shove, hit, bite, scratch, etc. their way towards to front because for some reason unbeknownst to me everyone seems to think that they deserve to be at the front more than anyone else. Not sure why people think that, doesn't make much sense in my opinion.

I got really sweaty. Like soaking wet. I'm talking had to go buy myself a new shirt at Wal-Mart before going to eat sweaty here. It was legit sweatiness. And if I do say so myself, the hastily acquired shirt looks rather good on me really.

Despite my extreme sweatiness, I was so tired by the time I made it home from my late night Denny's omelet I very nearly skipped the shower tonight. That would have been rather disgusting. Luckily for me, I made myself do it because let's be honest I would be the only one who suffered from me not taking a shower tonight.

I'm already showing some fabulous bruises on my arms and feet from tonight's ridiculousness. As it turns out, hardcore looking boy in commando boots responsible from aforementioned bruises on my feet was not nearly as tough as he looked, as evidenced when he was pulled out of the crowd sweating more profusely than me and half-conscious. Just because you put on all black and paint your fingernails doesn't mean you're hardcore I suppose.

Anywho, as yet another piece of evidence to the fact that new media is taking over the world (I have a rant about this I might discuss at some latter yet to be determined date), here is a picture Jared Leto took and posted from the concert tonight:

Kings and Queens of UVU. I circled myself in pink so you can find me easily!

You're welcome!

Onions

Have yourself a good laugh today by going here.

I know I did this morning . . . 5 minutes ago . . . in class.

Yes, I am a graduate student. Why do you ask?

Do not bounce.

My new favorite thing. Check it out!

Books I've Enjoyed

I read a whole slew of new books this summer, and the time has come to share them.

The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck.

This book was anti-WWII propaganda that was banned by the Nazis. It's nice and short.

Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.

Yeah, it's a teen novel. But it's worth it's weight in laughs.

Oh, and my newest favorite waste of time:

sporcle.com

It is an oh so wonderful waste of time!

My Humble Abode

Just last night I finally got around to hanging up the last of my posters. I also got the painting I bought in Jinja up after a couple near disastrous incidents involving hanging a picture by standing on my squishy bed and a rather unfortunate fight with a crooked command hook that was determined to remain affixed to the wall.

Anyways, I finally got it up. I was more than a little nervous that the whole thing might come tumbling down right onto my head during the night because you know that would happen to me. Luckily, it seems to be perfectly happy where it is hanging on the wall right above where my head goes at night. Let's hope we keep it that way!

Also, I have this awesome bookshelf. I am absolutely in love with it. I especially like it because I have lots of books to fill it up with.

Here goes:

Oh, and one last thing . . .

Happy Birthday to Me! (don't know why this came out blue . . . and I also don't know how to fix it . . . le sigh)
