hawkeyes, buckeyes, and the cider house rules...
what an insanely eventful saturday it was...most of today was spent in recovery (i.e. sleeping, eating, and a brief anti-terrorism incident) so i apologize for getting to this so late. a lot of you may have caught some brief clips about what went on if you are keeping up with sarah's live journal, interesting how our paths have crossed (not unintentionally so far) many times this year compared to the past couple years when we lived closer together (i would usually only hang out with her if she had food for me from home, or laundry -- come to think of it she did bring me some milano cookies yesterday, so maybe that hasn't changed so much).
anyway, it was an exciting day. first, we had a small group of people (yet very rowdy/energetic) over to the tank to watch the Michigan vs Iowa game. i must say that it was a great game and definitely ran the typical gamut of emotions that have gone along with this season (i.e. we suck, we don't suck, we're predictable, great he's injured, henne sucks, etc etc). glad we pulled off the win though. i just want to point out that in the mascot arena, hawkeyes are pretty freaking stupid. it reminds me of that lame superhero that hung out with captain america or the guy daniel day lewis played in last of the mohicans...either way, both of these characters suck, and therefore the iowa hawkeyes suck. going along with stupid mascots that end in 'eye' we cannot help but mention the bane of all mascots and college football teams...the buckeyes. yeah, it doesn't necessarily fit in perfectly here in terms of subject matter, but i think we can all agree that the buckeyes suck and it was nice to have that reflective conversation with the gang yesterday about how they are the most obnoxious fans in college football. my dad realized this when i took him to the UM/OSU game last year, and he's a hardcore buckeye fan.
moving right along. after the win and FINALLY getting out papa john's pizza (sarah and i were starting to get cranky, and the shakes were on their way), we decided that damon should ride hal's scooter, and that hal and i would toss the football back and forth (i had not done something like that for many years). then we ended moving to the backyard and ended up with a 2 on 2 football game with me/hal and damon/emily. we definitely won...and i am definitely feeling sore today, guess i should consider getting back into running. i would at least point out that i still have my speed and was able to elude any defender on the field over the course of the game.
it should also be noted that i had just about the same papa john's pizza within less than 12 hours...good times. normally i would not endorse papa johns, because of the curse that goes along with it (some of you know what i mean) but this new pizza is pretty good and doesnt seem to carry the same witchcraft associated with the original.
after playing some football, we went to BW3 and that was definitely a good time. damon got a new camera, and was going through that phase where you take bad pictures of everything around you. i think he needs to work on his framing, but some of them turned out pretty well (some of his will be posted at the end of this). while at BW3 we were joined by janine, julia and our friend ron (also a fish guy) so the group expanded a bit and it was definitely a lot of fun...i should also point out that we got to talking about batman begins, and the other batman movies...then hal and damon for some ridiculous reason decided to challenge me on the statement that tommy lee jones and jim carrey were the villains in batman forever and ahnold and uma thurman were in batman & robin. now, im not a big fan of either of those MTV Batman catastophes, but i have no idea where they thought they were right and i was wrong. at one point i had to bet my rent check in order to explain how sure i was. i think we actually had emily's brother go into best buy to check on it for us and confirm. either way, yeah, i was right. losers.
EDIT: as janine pointed out in her comment to this entry, i DO need to mention that she supported my stance on the whole batman argument and was also a voice of reason while telling us that we needed to quiet down (we were getting quite loud, but i am usually pretty loud in general i suppose). either way, thanks janine!
after BW3 and a quick trip home, we went to (gasp!) an SNRE party which was entitled the "sweater & cider party". as a requirement, one had to wear a sweater (i guess it was preferred that it was a bad sweater, but i was only going so far with the sweater idea to begin with). well this party was actually pretty fun, i'll get into why i dont normally like SNRE stuff in a later entry, but i will say that it was good to get together with more friends and the cider was decent too...and i'm not even a big cider fan.
ok i have quite a bit of work left to do today, so it looks like this is going to be cut into a two-part episode...i have to give props to sarah for pulling off several multiple-entry days in the past few, i think she may actually be catching up with me. anyway, the night did no end there, and there was a lot of fun to be had by the big michigan cube (damon had never seen it, and i dont think hal knew it spins around if you push it). panchero's was of course included in the evening as was a venture into 86'er territory which actually had repercussions leading to this afternoon (but again, more on that stuff later).
i'll close with a few statments:
sarah - don't worry, i changed the away message late last night and was just too lazy to change it this morning...but thanks for the concern, nice to know people gauge wehther i'm ok or not based on the away message.
j-berry - sorry sarah didnt invite you to watch the game with us yesterday, but from what sarah had been telling me you were probably too busy getting into more trouble. i'll have to add that theos pic to an entry at some point. unfortunately it looks like rachel has resurfaced, so we may have to retract bids for the david sibling replacement, but we'll see how things go. a red lobster shirt can go a long way here.
my last piece of pizza didn't have much cheese on it. this was unusual. <:><
damon tries out hal's scooter...

You totally have to give me props for fighting right along side of you in the "Batman Forever vs. Batman and Robin" debaucle! It certainly was entertaining and quite loud, too....I'm surprised the people around us didn't start throwing shit. :)
Fun times!
Okay so I retract my earlier assumption about P.J's. Anyways I can think of a million pizza places I like better so I don't really feel that bad . Why I'd feel bad I'm not sure. Also, It has been a crazy week. My webshots are being gay and not ordering chronoligically as I enter them, nor are they staying when I fix them to stay, but they for my friends and I at least are quite entertaining. And if STD didn't tell you, there's a person in there that I think you should see and comment about. Your little david is in a few too. I'm hoping to calm down this week on the causing trouble cause it's just becoming too regular, and i like a little change in my life. Both sad and glad about the whole sibling thing, I mean I guess it's one of those happily ever after story for Rachel. Do you know how to post videos? Like Mpegs? I have a HILARIOUS one of my friend andrea rapping and telling a really bad story, but saving it when she's drunk and i want to humiliate her by putting it in my profile and suggesting people view it. Let me know, seeing as how you are about the whole picture/link/etc blog thing I figured you may know someone or know yourself who knows what to do.
webshots: (as chaotic as they may be) remain at http://community.webshots.com/user/JANEyzgotTASTICk
Enjoy.
J-tired
that got cut off... it ends with stick
entertaining shots to say the least j, who was i supposed to be commenting on? the giraffe (which was quite humorous, i can only imagine his escapades over the course of that evening) the weird indian guy (you'll have to realize that i think just about all indians are weird in one way or another, and i'm usually a very good judge of this, trust me -- sarah is too for the most part, but not as good as i am) or the drug dealer and his g/f? well either way you'll have to clarify.
don't feel badly about the pizza thing, i was really mad for a second and then got over it. no seriously, i wasn't mad at all, calm down. there are MANY places that are better than PJ, but i had been wanting that pizza after seeing the commercials over the past couple weeks. i must say i was quite satisfied with the product, and sarah agreed as well.
as for your friend's rap video, let me know how big it is, and i'll see what i can do. there are a lot of options, so we'll see. ok i believe this is a long comment reply (at least for me) doesn't it seem weird to be exchanging email-like convo via blog which basically everyone else can read and get entertained (or bored) with? oh well, i guess i don't care. now where is my shirt??? <:><
