I’ve finally put up my second wall of photos:
Brook and my friendly coworkers 
(at least some of them) will be happy to see themselves on this wall! =) The first two columns are from the food road trip Andrew, Mark, and I went on last year.
Ah, the Red River Shootout. The UT/OU game is the only game I’ve ever been to, and the year I went, UT lost 12-0, so I have yet to see UT actually score in person. *shrug* =)
On the plus side, this weekend we watched the game at my place and made lots of yummy food (I only have picture of corn, but we made burgers and steak too):
I also got some remote controls for my Alien Bees, so I tested them out a bit with one light. Sam, graciously, decided to be my model (perhaps not too graceful for you):
Oh yeah, show me some leg, Sam:
Andrew, joined in, and thus there are now more homoerotic pictures of the pair:
Obligatory bad Nancy shot:
Obligatory bad Viraj shot:
Speaking of Viraj, he tried to pull some lame germophobic move and decided to waste a tissue by putting it under his cell phone on the ground.
Mark alerted me of this fact, and I would have none of it, so we had to fix it:
Rest of the photos are here. Enjoy!
Well, I’m still awake at nearly 7AM because I made the decision to sleep the entire flight back to Austin from London. It sure makes the time fly, but my sleep schedule is so whacked now.
The Heathrow airport pretty much has a small mall inside of it, so I was browsing books to find something to pass the time. After looking up and down the aisles not finding anything, I decided with much amusement to pick up Twilight and perhaps become smitten with this Edward character I keep hearing about. Well, like I mentioned earlier, I slept virtually the entire flight and did not read a word, so I have a British copy of some teenage-girl-crazed vampire novel if anyone wants it (I’m fairly sure the only difference is the currency on the back near the bar-code).
Ryan, somewhat surprisingly, instigated a bad movie watching experience by asking OMan, Andrew and I what bad movies we could watch tonight. We ended up getting through the latest installment in the oft-acclaimed Bring It On series – Bring It On Fight to the Finish. We’re glad to have Ryan in the club.
“Everyday – I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I’m goin’ crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah – yeah yeah yeahOh Lord
Somebody – somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?” – Queen
I <3 Queen. More is coming to Rock Band (source):
Yay! Also, Glee covered Somebody to Love! It’s like they knew it was my birthday month. =)
In other news, it’s good to know Sam is still an attention whore.
At least I have been having fun because of it too…
A bunch of us played some ultimate frisbee on Saturday and I’m a little sore from it, but that’s alrighty. Bummed around mostly the rest of the weekend. I also made my first iPhone MMS text by sending Sam’s nipple to Viraj. I’m sure he enjoyed that one immensely. Why do I have a picture of Sam’s nipple on my iPhone? In the words of Ryan, “Oh… you know…”
This weekend, we moved Ryan into my house in about two hours thanks to Al, Eduardo, Tiff, and Kalyn (in addition to Ryan and myself, of course). It was a pretty quick move and Ryan promptly setup his bed and slept. This weekend also marked the debut of the JRyanFunSponge Twitter account where Al, Eduardo and I will be chronicling the adventures of Ryan at Oliver’s house in first person Ryan perspective.
Also on Saturday (it was a busy day), I watched the UT/Tech game and then headed over to Tiff’s bday/house-warming bash, which I’m sure there will be pictures posted from (I forgot to bring my camera).
Sunday, I got a hair cut (thanks, Mom!), played some frisbee with Andrew, Mark, and OMan, then took humor in watching the Cowboys lose their first game in their brand new stadium. Hah!
Nope, I did not have a hangover, but I went to see Hangover with Al and Ryan. It was pretty entertaining. Beforehand, Al and I were trying to help Ryan find a car. I thought he should get an old VW bus, Delorean, a new Camaro, or a Dodge Viper. ;p Haha…
On Saturday, I switched back to Time Warner from AT&T. It’s pretty much picking the lesser of two evils, but my experience with TW has been a lot better than AT&T (at least for internet performance). Sunday was pretty lazy, but I watched a few episodes of 30 Rock with Chancy.
Yeah… not a very eventful weekend. =)
I forgot to post about this past weekend, so I will do so now, late.
On Saturday, I went up to Round Rock for lunch with the family (Olivia came to drop off the dogs before her trip to Asia). Then, I accompanied Nancy to Houston who picked up Viraj to go to a baby shower. I opted to stay at Viraj’s apartment with the thought of “oh, it’ll only be two or three hours” (said Nancy). They left at about 5something and I was under the impression it started at around 6ish, so come around 9:30ish, Viraj calls and tells me they’re about to cut cake then they’ll leave soon. Okay, I think, I’m hungry, but not too bad, so I can wait a bit longer. At almost 11:30, Viraj calls me again and says they’ll be back in 15 minutes. In like… 45 minutes after that, they rescue me from hunger.
I don’t remember what I did on Sunday… I think I saw Extract which was meh.
On Monday, I went to Salt Lick with Ryan, Al, Eduardo, and Elyse. That’s the first time I actually did their all you can eat thing. It took a long time for us to actually get food (like 1.5-2 hours), so I was hungry again. =( But! It was pretty good food.
SLURM!
This weekend, Blythe and Ryan had their Zelda playing party at my place where they beat the first one. We also watched some Firefly, ate some Indian food, and I watched some 21 (which wasn’t very good, but I watched it anyways). After that, other people showed up at my place and hung out til the wee hours of the night.
Not much else happened other than that… pretty uneventful weekend, I suppose. On to a probably hectic week! Woo!
I don’t really remember what I did this past weekend, so it’s now known as the forgotten one. Here’s what I think happened…
Oh yes, I remember something eventful now… UT apparently had a pretty large mishap with my oliver@alumni.utexas.net email address. I sent them an email but have yet to receive a reply, so I will likely give them a call tomorrow. If the call goes unsatisfactory, I’m sure I will supply more detail here.
