Black and Brown

I have a legitimate excuse for taking so long to blog this time: midterms. I think they went okay, i.e, I probably did well enough that they won't throw me out for a while. Hopefully all B's at least.

But, the weekend before midterms was really cool. First there was the football game against Brown (at which we dominated), which was immediately followed by our second fountain gig of the season, at which we were joined by the Brown band. They're awesome. They're like our brothers, equally goofy and lewd. We threw a party for them that night, and a freshman from Brown and I teamed up at foosball to win like ten games in a row. Very exciting.

Then Sunday night was awesome. Lewis Black! Need I say more? No. But I will anyway. He was hilarious, as expected, though I had heard much of his material before, like the candy corn bit. I'd say he was worth the ten dollars two or three times over.

After that, though, my week quickly slid downhill. But, as a stress reliever, I got to watch the Red Sox KICK THE CRAP OUT OF THE YANKEES! Can anyone say "Biggest Choke Ever"? But, I don't think people are giving enough credit to the Sox. Everyone talks about the choke on the Yankees' part, but not about the amazing comeback on the part of the Red Sox. Oh well. Either way, those cocky, arrogant Yankees (and their cocky, arrogant fans) get what's been coming for decades.

In the end, I made it through midterms week, and this weekend was as fun as the last one. Thursday night (the last night before fall break) was what's called "Princton Halloween." My roommate and I threw together costumes at the last minute and went to some Halloween parties. I was a ghost, or more accurately, a person with a sheet thrown over my head with eyeholes cut into it. My costume was a real hit, as it was surprisingly creative compared to most female costumes. As far as I can tell, they were all dressed as hookers...?

Friday night was band low stakes poker night. We did it tournament style, with a two dollar buy-in. I totally won first place, along with a cash prize of nine dollars! I'm a regular Joey Knish, eh?

Satuday was the Harvard game, which wasn't nearly as fun as the Brown game, as we got crushed, and by the most annoying of schools. They're band wasn't even cool. They played a Britney Spears tune, for crying out loud! Harvard was actually in town for football, soccer, hockey, and glee club, and they just kind of got more annoying every time I interacted with them. I'm sure there are lots of great people at Harvard, but apparently there are some real assholes, too. Oh well. Guess that's why I don't go there.

Peace out, and good job reading this freakin' long blog!
