Boston

So I went to Boston this past weekend. Also for some reason it always ends up that Julie's free times to come down always happen to be like immediately after mine... go figure. So she will be coming down this weekend.

Anyways in boston it was very event filled.

We made white chocolate macadamia nut cookies with coconut on top.

We watched some episodes of an anime about musicians

We cooked burgers for a friend's birthday...this involved setting off the fire alarm and in an effort to stop it from ringing leaving the bread in the oven and the meat an onions on the stove and everything becoming overcooked/burnt. The bread was hard as rock but if you took it off it was still super yum.

I sat in the study lounge while Julie tutored someone in statistics...I did some hw and took a nap
We went shopping. For the most part it was Julie buying things here and there but then I came around in the end and got those Air Jordans I posted about earlier. YAY!

We wanted to go to a place to eat bar food...burgers and stuff only to find out that it was actually a Bar and we needed to be 21 or older to even go inside. Maybe it was the time?

Overall it was very fun

We even almost got Hustled by these little kids. As we sat down eating lunch (really good place called Scoozi) these two kids walk up and ask: "Do you want to buy some of these paper flowers in order to help us buy a birthday gift for our mom?"

I, being the evil person I am, said no. I also noted that that is a great marketing scheme asking children to ask for money to help their moms aww so sweet. They also preyed on those who couldn't walk away.

So these kids in their slick guido hairstyles decide to ask the people next to us. The people respond how much is one? The kids respond 2 dollars each. The two dudes then asked if he had change for a 10. The kids responded that they didn't and they could just buy 5. They did.

Then in a few minutes they were spotted walking away with their mom trying to sell to more people. Needless to say the two men next to us weren't happy and I think I heard something about going over to teach them all a lesson. I was like LOL. What a bunch of Pros.

Moral: When trying to sell things, use children and love appeal. Also after selling things don't lose your front that fast or you might find a lesson or two coming your way.

P.S. I think I'm going to start carrying my camera around with me so I can take pictures and not make my blog look so ugly. I've got one so far.

Spring Break

Not much to say here. Im on spring break and have been studying for my CC midterm. Also I did a probability problem set. Yup.

However I was talking with a friend of mine about why female mantises eat the male ones after or during mating. and came across this yahoo question. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081004121427AA8HFwJ

If you look at the link you see that she poses the question and chooses the best answer. The answer sucks. Then scroll down to the first answer after that. Admire how it is infinitely better. OK thats all I really had to say.

Moral: Don't as questions if you don't want answers

ANSWER FAIL

Hidden Camera

You know how there are times when really cool/funny/unique/whatever things happen and you say to yourself: Damn I wish I had my camera/camcorder. (Well now you can! for only 5 payments of ... sorry I kinda felt that's what it sounded like) Or sometimes you have a camera but you don't have it out and it was only like a few second event?

Well that happened to me today. I mean it happens a lot. For example when I was coming back from Port Authority this past weekend, there was this man and his kid on the subway. The man was sitting with his arm around the kid and they were both sleeping. But they weren't just sleeping, both of them had their heads back and mouths wide open. I really wanted to take a picture of it. It was really cute. On the other side of the spectrum, today I witnessed a pretty epic fail.

So I was walking back from chipotle (obviously) and as I was crossing the street I saw this guy sitting in his van. I guess he had something in his mouth that he didn't want because he tried to spit out of his window. Now I know that when your vehicle is moving and you spit, sometimes the wind will make it come back at the vehicle. So instead it ends up on your car. Or sometimes you try and spit and it doesn't have enough force and it lands on your door or window or something. There are loads of possibilities. But for this guy. He is parked on the side and he attempts to spit and not only does it not hit the ground OR his car, it sorta just dribbles onto his shoulder. So there is this white line on his shoulder. Then he decides to be more fail. He brushes off his shoulder with his hand. So now he has this whatever on his shoulder and on his hand. Luckily for him he pulls out a napkin and starts to alleviate the situation. I know sometimes in my car I didn't have tissues and stuff.

But let us recall what happened. Man sitting in an unmoving vehicle fails to remove something from his mouth...without getting it on his shoulder. I don't think anything from my mouth has ever arrived on my shoulder before. Then he decides to use a body part of his to wipe it only to find out that thats no good. Of course this may not be funny to you at all but I think it would have been if you were able to see it...if only I had my camera. :/

The moral this time is: a) have a camera on and ready at all times b) If a picture is worth 1000 words and a video is thousands of pictures, I didn't write nearly enough to portray how fail this man was.
