so i actually went running today...
well today was quite the busy day, and yet nothing terribly exciting happened. in fact, it was probably one of the most low-key wednesday's of the semester so far, but that's of course all relative. fall break was over with (for those who had it) and so students were back on campus in full force. this made the day go much faster, for the hours i was actually on campus (got a bit of a late start this morning, but nothing compared to sarah's noon wake-up time).
i spent most of the day in the social computer lab getting some research work done, came back and did some water changes on a few tanks (yes, taking care of three tanks doesn't even cover half the tank responsibilities...we need to divide them up over the weeks or it would take forever). later in the evening we were FINALLY able to get together at BW3 for some trivia and what would mark the return of team BOWFIN to domination. i should note that the game 'passport' sucks and if given the choice it would not be in the same bracket as 'countdown' and 'wipeout' which are the classics. we lost to team 'betha' which was made up of julia, erin, and janine; but this was really just one round. once team 'HAJ' showed up (AJ and hal) we were on a roll (it was just me and damon - james had to stay home and do homework) and were actually able to win the next three straight...now if only MICHIGAN can pull off the same run!
well, that's really about it for today's events...see? nothing really exciting, and i don't even have the motivation to make something up. we'll just move on to another topic:
damon and i need to come up with halloween costumes. we have no idea yet what we will be, and the time is fast approaching. thanks to j-berry for some of her clever suggestions (i finally got the whole point of the 'dungeoness' idea) but at this point i am very close to going as blade again this year since it worked quite well and required minimal costuming last year. yeah, i know its lame to do a repeat, but i'm lazy and don't want to do anything too elaborate. well either way, if you all have any suggestions please let me know. too bad it wouldn't be practical to go as a fish, and no one really recognizes a gar anyway. maybe i'll go as the dad from bend it like beckham...i'm sure people would recognize that...or they would just think i was some Raja Rani's worker who strayed out into the streets.
speaking of indians, it must be noted that aishwarya rai was spotted by sarah in some make-up ad on tv today. i can only hope to see it at some point in the future, but i think i've seen her in a shampoo commercial a while back. for those of you who don't know who she is, she was the lead in the recent 'bride & prejudice' (great movie and nice americanized version of bollywood) and was also miss world a few years back. to say the very least in understated terms, she is very attractive as well. that's all for now on that, but rest assured i'm sure she'll come up in a future entry or two...
well, that's all for now, it's 3am and i'm going to try to get to bed 'early'. i still have a couple stories to share, but they will have to wait, including my extended rant on why i really really really HATE bikers (my gosh that may even beat out the laguna-rant entry). there is also the exploding burrito incident and the theories on why my mom ordered a happy meal at mcdonald's the other day. also noteworthy is one of the most recent entries on kara's blog; you'll know which one i'm talking about it when you see it. she finally got around to checking out some cool stuff on vacation, although i'm sure the other stuff was interesting as well, haha.
oh yeah, in case you didn't figure it out by now, i definitely did NOT go running today. yeah, that title was completely fabricated. someday it will happen though...
i'll leave you now with a couple not quite random pictures of Aishwarya Rai...

I knew I knew her face from somewhere. I was baffled until reading about the miss world. First of all I love that there is INDEED a miss WORLD and a miss UNIVERSE! (No other contestants apply really.. I don't understand that whole thing yet.) But anyways I like watching pageants and trying to guess who will win (I'm usually sweet at it except for the most recent Miss USA) And I actually saw the one where she won. Terrific. Thanks for the enlightenment!
