Last week was Spring Brake. I made it a point to take a brake from the usual hustle and bustle of college life. This included tedious tasks such as homework or work in general, keeping up with my usual internet-ing and lastly showering.
I spent the greater part of the beginning of the week catching up on everything Grand Tourismo. I managed to complete two 24hr endurance races as well as most of the One Make races. During this time the only reason I left the house was to buy more beer. My reclusive behavior seemed warranted for three reasons: (1) I was drinking and not driving, (2) the Play Station sucks at playing it self – I had to be there to keep it company, and (3) turns out I’m severely allergic to outside (namely Mulberry Trees) in the month of March. I’m currently just over 80% completion in the game.
In the later of the week Chels and I took the C to Phoenix. The proper 3 letter abbreviation for Phoenix is PHX. The lesser known and equally correct 4 letter abbreviation for Phoenix is PHNX. Saturday night we hit a UB40 concert. It was held outside in the parking lot of a very smoky casino off hwy 87. The very British white guys that make up UB40 do in fact play what is classified to be “reggae music.”
The first thing they said after their first song was:
“Cheerio, how ya’ll doing out there tonight. Right-o, but you know once the spoties come on we cant see you so we need you to do more than dancing out there, we also need you to sing along.“ Who’s dancing?
Immediately following the above statement was this trifler:
“Here’s one most of you probably wont know off our first album.” And you want us to sing what now?
Chels’ Dad latter mentioned that he probably never should have seen them in concert because now all of his fond Reggae, Rasta memories of singing along with Red-Red Wine are now shattered with images of Gay British dancers who chew gum while they sing up on stage.
Now that school is back in full force I'm busier than ever. Hence the bit about carziness in the title. I've got to get my grad school app in at NMSU; get off my ass and start applying for jobs just in case grad school doesnt work out; keep up with all the usual school work; prep 100+ thermocouple samples by tomorrow; finish (read start) a report on thermocouple inhomogenity testing/calibration; and do the usually weekly homework grading. At some point I'll try to find time to sleep and eat something, oh and cruise the Vortex.
