I'm Down With Tim's 12 Step Program

So I think yesterday was one of the greatest days of my life.

Just putting that out there.


What made it so great? Well we all woke up, planning to watch Lord of The Rings because its fuckin awesome, but then realized it was way too nice out to be inside staring at a screen for even more than an hour. After Alfredo found various types of currency in my L. Ron Hubbard book (more about this at some other time), we decided that the best thing to do was use our new found fortune to buy some burritos. So Toto, Dave, Ted, Annie and I headed over to the mexican market for some yum yum. We decided that since it was so nice outside, we should eat them on the bleachers.

Did I say bleachers? I meant pirate ship. We hoisted the jolly roger as any good pirate would.

We then pretty much spent the entire day out there.

For further analysis, let's take a step back and review a post made by our dear friend Tim at the beginning of the term. Tim provided 12 Steps to The Best Spring Term ever... Let's go through them and see how many applied yesterday.

1. Good music - We had The Decemberists playing on a iPod player until batteries ran out and after that, we got serenaded by Johnny V (aka Buster/Viggy Stardust/JV)'s soothing banjo playing.

2. Outdoor cooking. We BBQed on Friday so it counts, because this weekend is one big ball of fun.

3. Outdoor sports. The Vortex, 16in Softball, and an IM Softball game. Nuff said.

4. Minimal studying. Let me just say this: Tim and I told ourselves the day before we were going to work on our final paper for our 5 week Diplomacy class... and at the moment I am at the library trying to figure out a thesis.

5. Good weather. BAM!

6. Rotblatt. Doesn't apply, but will be awesome.

7. Spring Concert. Same as above.

8. Baseball Challenge. Same as above.

9. Plenty of Ocho parties. We haven't been having as many people over lately, but we have had what I consider the only two things I ever need for an enjoyable evening: good company and good music.

10. Live blogging. Toto watched me as I drunkenly blogged about those damn murderous egyptians. Does that count?

11. No inhibitions. We ate free Cheese/hoisted a pirate flag/watched Top Gun AND Tropic Thunder and have been giving 100% at everything we've been up to lately.

12. Beer (or other booze). This is a given. Although the decathlon (10 different drinks throughout the course of an evening) failed, we did a powerhour and also drank a lot and drank well.

So by my count, we succeeded at 9 out of 12... Sounds good to me.

Best Mid-Term Break ever? I mean its all relative, but to me, I had the fuckin time of my life...

FOUND IT!

Egypt killed 25 billion birds. I found it, tongitht,. here is the link:

International Year of Stadium 110

So as many of you already know (probably because Toto already told you) 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy. What I'm sure few if any of you knew is that it is also the International Year of Natural Fibres (no joke, it's U.N. sanctioned).

When I discovered this fact on Wikipedia, I thought, if natural fibres can have their own year-long, international celebration, why cant Stadium 110? And so, we shall have an International Year of Stadium 110. And because this will probably be the last year that students will be living in stadium (at least for a while), I have decided to hereby declare this year the International Year of Stadium 110. To commemorate this momentous year we will party-all-the-time and maybe get one of those cool websites from the U.N.

"But wait," you say, "this year is already one-quarter of the way over, you've already missed a fourth of the celebration." But that's where you're wrong. Who says that we at Stadium 110 need to follow your Eurocentric Gregorian calendar? Why is your calendar better than everyone else's? You Western Imperialist Dogs!

Maybe today isn't the actually the 15th day of the 4th month of the 2009th year anno domini. Maybe it's actually the 7th day of Miyazya (the 8th month of the Ethiopian calendar) in the year 2001. Or maybe it's actually the 26th day of the 1st month of the 1388th year of the Iranian calendar, or the 25th day of the 1st month of the 1932nd year of the Indian calendar. That's right, this party is just beginning! I'm sorry, did I just turn your perfect little world upside down?

So get ready to party everyone, the International Year of Stadium 110 is just beginning.
