Why yes, that is a pot full of pasta, an unopened PBR and a coffee pot (with a Coke can in it) all inside of our apartment's dishwasher. Luckily, we also didn't decided to try and run it. The funny thing is, the roommate who proclaimed "how much of a drunken idiot do you have to be to do this" turned out to be the very one who did the deed.
In short, I had quite the crazy weekend. I hosted an old high school friend (Commenter "Maine Guy") and a few of his friends who go to UMaine for the weekend, so that made UNH's two wins even sweeter. I'll have more on how all that went tomorrow. After Friday night's demolition of Maine the guys returned to Saturday night's game with a fake UNH Championship plaque without any years listed below it, a knock on UNH never winning a National Title. After the second win, and season sweep, we allowed them to hang it on the wall, but I made sure to make one final adjustment:
The way this year's team has played, I'm confident I'll be adding "2011" in a few months, which is the real reason I'm keeping their little gift.
I was in quite the celebratory mode Saturday night following the game and decided to try a Lambeau Leap over the kitchen counter. Can't say that I made it. Not my proudest moment. I wasn't going to say that, but if it were one of my roommates I'd never let them live it down. I try to be fair.
The White Stripes broke up earlier this week so it wouldn't be right not to include them on a weekend music post. One of my personal bucket list items is to see Jack White in concert. The man knows how to play and perform.
I'm usually not a fan of remixes, or dubstep really, but this version of the Beastie Boy's "Intergalactic" has been playing nonstop on my laptop since my friend showed it to me. Intergalactic has always been on my of favorite songs and I love this faster and tripped out version. (Note: It's even better after a night of partaking in various activities).
The day has come. The Maine game. I have been looking forward to today since the men's hockey schedule was released. I'm literally too excited to really write... and I have to take care of some business before the game so this is gonna be quick.
1) Fuck any student who tried to sell their tickets to this weekend's game. It is one thing if you're going to one game, but give the other ticket to a friend. We're poor college students who love our hockey team. We already have to pay an athletic fee so we can go to games for free. You are scum. Give your ticket to a friend.
2) I guess the Maine Guy is coming down for the games. He's one of my best friends from high school. That being said, I hope he isn't physically harmed tonight... just emotionally.
3) I want the UNH student section to start doing this:
I haven't gone on a pointless, over harsh and highly overreacting rant for a while, so with out any further ado...
You wanna know what really grinds my gears? People who pull the stop request cord on the Gables buses for section 4 of A-Lot. Non-Gables residents probably won't get what I'm talking about, but if you live in the Gables and have been in that situation, you know exactly what I mean. Every time I've seen someone request a stop for section 4 the entire bus, including the driver, gives them a massive death glare. And I want to stab them in the face. I mean section 2, which is a required stop, is like 100 yards away. You really can't walk 100 extra yards to your car you lazy, selfish human being? If you can even call yourself a human being for putting all the other riders through that excruciating wait. Okay, that might be a little harsh, but still you're inconveniencing a bus full of college students (for about 27 entire seconds I might add) who just want to get back to their apartment so they can drink themselves stupid on a Thursday night. College is only four years long and it goes by quick, I need to take advantage of every second I have here to have some fun. Get off the bus at section 2 and take advantage of the short walk to get some exercise. Because obesity really is a problem in America. That's all I'm trying to get at here...
That wasn't quite the storm I was expecting, but hey, classes were cancelled so I really don't care. I made a trek across campus to Stillings around noon today and I don't think I've ever seen Main Street so empty while students are on campus. A-Lot was a massive winter wasteland, it felt like Antarctica or something. Quick tip, walking like a penguin makes walking on non-plowed sidewalks way easier. I do plan on constructing an igloo eventually, but I don't see that happening today.
Looking down Main Street this morning.
The following is a text saved in my drafts from last night:
"bus sliding down hill, octopus and fucking lobster... drunk texting is a myth."
Now before you completely judge me, allow me to explain. (First off you should note I started the night going 8-0 in beirut and finished around 12-2 or something like that, so yes, alcohol was involved.) I saved that in my drafts to remember things I wanted to write about. First, on the way to my class yesterday afternoon I was on a bus at the hill past the upper and lower quads. As the bus got towards the top of the hill the driver had to stop, but then the bus couldn't make it up the hill and it spun out. The driver had to back down the hill and then floor it to make it back up. But don't worry, operations were curtailed at 10 PM. I was pretty impressed that UNH did cancel classes so far in advanced, however I don't think I needed 5 text messages and three emails to tell me. One would have sufficed. Now, to the next part of that text draft. "Octopus and fucking lobster." A friend of ours came over and made hotdogs and pasta for dinner last night. The hotdogs were split like little kids like so they resemble an octopus. When she tried to explain the meal a few hours later (in a drunken state of course) she described it as octopus fucking lobster. You know, because pasta comes from lobster... a derh... and finally I have a theory that drunk texting is a myth, so I wanted to remember that to write about. Let me explain:
In my drunkest, "least-functionable" state I can still send a text that doesn't look like this "heydg wnaa met at dhOp at 11?" or "iM so wassteted, had likke 7 shits of wisky an 8 beeeerzs." I do however text very strange thoughts, but at least they are in proper grammar, for the most part. Seriously, my drunk texts have better grammar then this blog on most occasions. A lot of these texts are also sent to my twitter, so if you don't follow me yet you probably should. So, I don't mean that drunk texting as a whole is a myth, but rather the bad spelling of a drunk text is completely fabricated by the texter to try and convince the textee how drunk they are.
Anyways, enjoy your snow day and don't go insane out there.
With classes already cancelled for Wednesday, who else is ready for a Tipsy Tuesday? Ok, it doesn't have the same ring to it as Thirsty Thursday, but it still sounds like plenty of fun to me. Wednesdays are the worst day of the week for me so I couldn't be happier about having the day off.
I also got to give some credit to SCOPE. I'm not a huge Wiz Khalifa fan, I mean I do like some of his stuff and I am looking forward to the show, but SCOPE answered the haters by brining one of the best up and coming rappers. They had been taking a lot of heat for staying away from the rap scene for a while, but this shows that they really do listen to what students ask for while trying to cover different genres. After reading the article in TNH I saw that they tried to get Kid Cudi, which would have been a dream come true to me, but in the end he was too expensive. Kid Cudi was the number one requested act by the student body, with Khalifa being second, so I am ignoring all and any hate thrown SCOPE's way because in the end they got what the students requested. They also said there will be a second concert in the spring, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a band, preferable one of the rocking type. I doubt they can afford another big name, but then again last spring they had MGMT and Girl Talk who are both pretty well known.
