My Weekend

Some of the highlights from my weekend.

1. I went to Pflugerville to go to Deutschen Pfest (get it get it with the pf?) and while the only remotely deutschen thing at the pfest was the sign that said "Bier Garten" there was a sort of street carnival/fair and to me this means one thing and one thing only, cotton candy. yessssss! But is also means lots of different schools and scout troops with events to make money for some upcoming trip to camp and my personal favorite (and the one with the longest line, gotta love Texas) was an event where for $1, $3, or $5 you could take 3, 5, or 10 whacks at a rusted out car with a sledgehammer. Watching 80lb teenage boys try to prove their manliness by making no visible dents in a car with a sledgehammer is just good clean fun for the whole family.

2. I drank beer - sorry, bier - out of a can for the first time in my life. Weird right? I was carrying my bier in a can as we went to sit down so that I could drink my bier and eat my cotton candy at the same time (yes I am a grown up thank you very much) and I couldn't figure out why I felt kinda trashy. This is not the first time I've had bier, nor is it the first time I've had bier in public, why does it feel kinda white trashy this time? Oooooooo, it is in a can. I think I'll stick to bottles and glasses.

3. I went to Ikea with my (ahem) boyfriend and found a woman who doesn't really have a concept of sarcasm. Anyone who knows me semi-well knows that over the top sappy romantic gestures make me a little bit sick to my stomach, luckily my (ahem) boyfriend feels the same way - one reason why we get along so well - so when we had the following conversation we both knew the other was being sarcastic - another reason why we get along so well.

Him: Oh look, heart-shaped ice cube trays *insert puppy dog eyes in my direction*
Me: Awww, I should get those that way every time you come over I can put little hearts in your drinks and you'll know you're loved.
*both look "lovingly" at each other*
Lady: Oh my gosh that is just the sweetest thing ever! Sorry I didn't mean to overhear but heart shaped ice cubes, you two are just the cutest.

I'm fairly certain she had a tear in her eye.

4. Oh yeah, Michael and I had "the talk." You know the one. The one where we are both like, "I'm not dating anyone else and I don't want to and we spend every weekend together and usually at least one night during the week together so yeah we're boyfriend/girlfriend." That talk. What? You haven't heard anything about Michael? Yes you have. We went mini golfing and he told me I had great taste in tv, introduced me to new music, and brought me pretty flowers.

Marvel vs. DC

So this is the funniest thing on the internet right now.



There are a ton more on you tube but this is by FAR the best one.

Summer Vacation

I took my last test this morning so I am officially on summer vacation. And by summer vacation, I mean the next two weeks before the summer semester and I still have to work. But at least I don't have to study for anything.

Finals Week

I woke up at 2am with my pocket periodic table of the elements stuck to my face.

No One Wants to Talk to Me

So my cousin emails me to say that she got engaged over the weekend. She and I haven't talked in a while so I decide to call her to say congratulations and just to chat because she is awesome to talk to. And so begins the evening of the telephone hating me.

#1: Dials Cousin's Cell Phone
Man: "Harry's Pool Supply"
Me: "Sorry, must have dialed the wrong number."

Ok she changed her cell phone number, like I said, it has been a while.

#2: Dials Cousin's Home Phone
Man: "Hello"
Me: "Is Kim there?"
Man: "Sorry, wrong number."

Ok she moved, it happens.

#3: Dials Grandparent's House
Grandfather's Voice: "You have reached ....."

Ok they are out, they don't usually go out for any reason, but right now they are out.

#4: Dials Mom's Cell Phone
Mom's Voice: "You've reached Janet, I can't come to the phone right now..."

Ok not unusual for mom not to answer phone, she usually leaves it on silent and if in another room you can't hear that, I get it.

#5: Dials Parent's Home Number
do do do
Woman's Voice: "We're sorry but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service..."

Ok, WTF?!?!?!?!?!

I give up.

I should be studying

but I'm not. Instead I'll be relating to you the funniest photo caption I have read in a VERY long time.

For the record, I know it is wrong to laugh at this subject matter but when you are just glancing around a page and you come across this, I dare you not to laugh.

"Farrah Fawcett, who has been in Europe pursuing alternative therapy for her anal cancer, gets back in the swing of things."

New Musical Obsession

There isn't a real music video for this song but there is a Final Fantasy video for it so you can't complain too much. The song is the important part.
