rocks and ice.

After reading our posts have any of you taken up the habit of throwing rocks at the ice on the crim dell? Its really quite fun. and apparently passersby are pretty interested in the behavior. Just the other day laura and I were throwing rocks at the ice and three different groups of people stopped to watch, the last of which even joined in the rock throwing. So let this be a message to all of you: don't miss the joys of winter, throw rocks at ice.

Thomas, this is for you. I thought you would appreciate a picture of the garbage people threw out onto the ice.

Sauna

So there's a sauna in the gym and I'm trying to check that out. Apparently there are like a bajillion health benefits to it. It detoxifies and hydrates the skin, increases white blood cell and antibody production, cleanses the respiratory system, kills bacteria, stimulates blood flow, and increases metabolism, causing the same cardiac load as a brisk walk.

Unfortunately, saunas seem kinda gay. It's usually a bunch of guys sitting in a room mostly or entirely naked and sweating heavily. That's the wrong kind hot, my friends. Plus I don't know the protocol. Are you supposed to bring a friend or is that even gayer? If you don't then who do you talk to? Should you bring a book or something? Is talking to other guys while everyone's mostly naked kind of gay? Can you become gay from going to the sauna?

I may try it today, if I don't chicken out. If you have any information on the subject though, holla atcha boy. See you all at Swanky Saturday!

array lists are dulllllll

HAPPY VDAY KIDS

Making Plans

Does anybody know of anything going on tomorrow (Tuesday) ? Becki's probably coming up which means Barrett 229 will probably be restocking on beverages, which means we should probably pregame and party. Tuesday Night Ragers seem to have died with the fall of 118 Griffin, but there still ought to be SOMETHING to do.

Hypothetically, if there really isn't anything going on, is everyone busy or would people show up to a get-together here? I don't want to commit to anything without consulting my co-conspirator, but I think it's time for a little drinkin'. Comment with responses.

THROW ROCKS AT THE CRIM DELL

Seriously

Nothing will penetrate it

Also it makes awesome sounds

Wake-Up Playlist

As many of you know, waking up at 8am every morning is at least ten different kinds of fucking shitty. However, add-drop is over and I no longer have the option of backing out, so one of the things I've been doing to help me wake up in the morning is listen to a fast-tempo song over and over and over.

Unfortunately, as you can imagine, after about a week of listening to that same goddamn song I would rather repeatedly punch myself in the eardrum than wake up to it again. So I had a brilliant idea: make a playlist! And since our blog's readership is into most hell of diverse and eclectic musics I'd like some suggestions for what to put on it.

But I don't want none of that bitch-ass, tori amos, 20 BPM, play it for your grandma bullshit. I am talking about jamz to knock your goddamn PJs off. I'm looking for songs that make you want to wake it up and break it down. So pick a few songs (I said a FEW) that you think should be on this playlist and hopefully it will rock my world.

SHOWERS FORSERIOUS

Okay has anyone else in Barrett been having trouble with them showers?

So I go to the shower and turn the water on as hot as possible. Then I use the restroom, wash my hands, look at myself in the mirror a lot, and then go back to the water and it is still ice cold. So I stare at the running water and put my hand in the water until it is sort of lukewarm at which point i jump in the shower to discover it is still very cold. So I stand out of the water naked and shivering until there is the slightest bit of warmth and take a very lukewarm shower until a few minutes before my bathing time is through there is finally hot water.

This has been happening for like a week now

seriously, what the fuck
