An Indian Birthday

So this weekend I will be skipping my Humanities class to go to Chicago. Why Chicago you ask? Well because I have a birthday to go to. Friends of the family, who are from India, have invited my mother and I to join them for baby #2's birthday.  So I ask you Internet, have you ever been to an Indian birthday?

Now I'm not saying that it will be all bollywood and what not, but there will be some differences. Like, will there be cake? Or do I get some awesome Indian food?  A's parents have come over for Indian so they will be there and I know old neighbors of A and P's will be there as well. So will my mom and i be the only caucasian people there? Am i going to stand out?...

The answer to the later is yes. I always stand out and I cant speak Tamil....shit.

It's been an awesome day. i made a successful chicken pot pie, played Apples to Apples with the roomies and a new friend and just had an all around good day.

Oh and Internet, please note: I hate the timing on this website. It messes up my post times and dates,
                              

Personal crests and kisses

SO my roommates and I thought that making personal crests was a good idea. Current H is the only one with a crest, a white stag and red and blue shield. I will be making mine tonight and I will be drawing the extra characters on our apartment crest. 

Also, we have discovered the wonders of chocolate kiss fights. the only rule, the tin foil is your only weapons and aiming for the face is manditory.

news: Tomorrow is Wednesday and hopefully my article will be in the paper with one of the pictures I took. *Fingers crossed*

Frankie Update: Frankie, we found out, likes waffles and apples.

Couch coffin

So my roomate H has sandwiched the two fluffy sofa chairs together and is making a bed out of them. Now she had a legitamate bed but wants to sleep on the chairs. I dont know why, but its awesome plus my roommate C is pelting her with a pillow. It is truely one of the funniest things I have every seen.

Maybe not a good idea.

Totally forgot yesterdays blog. Oops.  Anyway, I made fish for dinner tonight which was awesome and turned out tasty and yummy. Also the girls and I made cookies,  a chocolate cake and went to the Mustard Plug concert.   

I had never heard Mustard Plug before but they are pretty good. they remind me of Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake but still I enjoyed seeing people dance like freaks. However I found that every song seemed to have a similar tune. Oh well.

Frankie Update: Frankie and ted are two different groundhogs. We discovered the two of them sitting togther yesterday nibbling on the grass. Frankie has a black tail while Ted had a red tail. Ted, we believe is a girl but Ted just fits so that is her name.

Art Prize and Tardiness

Yes I know I am late in updating. i believe I missed yesterday and a Friday some day back awhile ago. BUT! I have an excuse. I was writing an article for the newspaper, something which even though I would like to do for the rest of my life I have no previous experience with. So I have been totally focused on that and making it the best I can without being too wordy or too dull.

OH and while running through downtown trying to piece together my story I ran into one of the artists. yes I really did. It was quite weird because I had just taken a few pictures of his work and was writing down his name when I hear "Hi! I'm Ben!" The name sign saying Benjamin I figured they were one and the same which was awesome because my friend A had seen him earlier and announced how attracted she was to him.  However I was the only one lagging behind so I got to talk to Ben and explain what I was doing and why I was taking a ton of pictures. He was a really friendly guy who asked my name and what I thought of art Prize, etc. Out of all of the artists I met he was the only one who did not pressure me to vote which will probably win him my vote. :)

Rain and running

So there is a wicked storm outside right now and I really want to run in it. Perhaps this comes from a primal need to want to run or from a weird want to run through forrests at night. Who really knows?  But I really want to find a group of people and rush through the wodds tromping over everything in our paths.

And now my roommates and I go to run!
