I had been hoping that I would be coming home this weekend because my friend (and car pool home) had mentioned something, but alas, plans seem to have fallen through. This may be some sort of benefit in disguise however because, while I would love to go home to visit and see the new car, I'm sure I would get none of this schoolwork done. Who wants to do school work when you can have Fred cuddle time? ;].
Anyway. Last Weekend
Friday:
One of my bestest friends from back home came to visit for the weekend! For the sake of shits and giggles, I shall call her...A. Anyway when A arrived we went to a little place here on campus for some grub, and then we went to the Art Museum! We went to see an exhibit about Dale Chihuly (I may have butchered that name...) which was really cool. I had seen it before when I visited it with some foreign exchange students but this time I really got to look at things! The artwook was cool and all but the only picture I took that night was....
These bathrooms were AMAZING! The sinks were so fancy! Just enough pressure to not waste water...Just this little lever you pulled out for water...set at the perfect temperature. Fantastic! ;]
We also got to see a glass blowing tutorial/seminar thing which was also really interesting. The fire that they use to create these things are crazyyyyyyyyy hot. Liek ridiculous. And you can never let it cool or else the glass inside that you need to begin your project will cool and harden. So for six years straight they have molten liquid glass in this insanely hot chamber.
While we were watching this exhibit we also noticed some people placing lots of food outside the viewing area. Now the theme for this weekend was basically "look at all the free shit you can do at the museum!" So naturally, we figured this little feast was free too. After the viewing we quickly made our way over the table set up. Were begining to fix up our plates ( we had grabbed some sort of fruit mixture and a roll/ quiche? of some sort) and RIGHT as I was reaching for a truffle the following went down:
Waitress Bitch: Are you ladies here for the wine tasting?
Us: Um....sure?
Waitress Bitch: Oh. So you have your ticket? You need a ticket. They are $25. You can buy them over at that table. This food is only for the wine tasting.
Us: Oh...okay...yeah, we'll go get a ticket.
Naturally, with our plates still in hand we head toward the table to buy tickets becuase do to our previous adventure we know our blessed bathroom is right before the booth comes up. We make a quick right turn into the bathroom with the hallways, stuff our faces with the food and start laughing at the ridiculousity of what is unfolding. For the record...that was quite possibly the WORST food I have ever had in my mouth. Like for real. AWFUL. I feel bad for those poor saps who paid for that shit. I think even Fred would have hacked it up.
I'm trying to come up with some sort of lawsuit against the museum. This clearly is a case of ageism! I mean...all the old people who saw the viewing and were going to the table weren't questioned. The nerve!
After that we decided it best if we bailed and headed home. Once we got there we watched the movie Before Sunrise which was actually pretty good, however if there hadn't been a sequel I would have been severely disappointed with the ending. Lots of interesting conversation between the two main characters.
But alas, I will continue this update of Saturday's adventures once I return home from visiting some friends at the f-house. Gonna watch The Wrestler!
