I'm currently looking out of my window and guess what I'm seeing? Bumper to bumper traffic (on both sides of the street), and it doesn't seem it's going to go away in the next few minutes. Also there's a guy right outside my window who has probably said the F-word 500X in the last five minutes. I don't know what his problem is. He's most likely to be drunk, or pissed that someone who's drunk trashed his car. I don't really know; it's awfully dark outside. I do know the reason for the traffic: the football game just ended. Go 'Hoos! We won against Clemson. How great is that?! 5-0 this season. Wahoo-wa!
This week has been a really busy one. I have two projects due, had an architecture review, an in-class exercise, ie. practical quiz, and grading papers. I fell asleep in every single one of my lectures this week. Except for that one lecture about photovoltaics, I was up for that 'cause i'm such a solar-energy dork! I'm setting such a bad example for my discussion kids, who I'm hoping don't see me doze off. I had to be woken up by Duey during my CAAD lecture which was at 4PM. You'd think I'd be wide awake by that time. Sad but true and quite funny. Coffee did not help, even after I loaded it with sugar. Thank goodness for fall break, otherwise known as "reading holiday" (which is definitely an oxymoron).
Currently listening to: The Postal Service's "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" from Give Up. Another great band. Definitely worth the $10.

Master Procrastinator
I really should be working on my Buildings and Climate project, but I'm not. It is very hard to be motivated when you know Fall Break's only a week and a half away. I'm not exactly doing anything out of the ordinary, just going home and having me some home cooked meals. yum! In the meantime, I am going to rip off a survey from a friend who ripped it off someone else's blog.

2. Color of most clothes you own:
Blue...I'm trying to incorporate more color into my wardrobe but alas I am a sucker for blue.

Crazy Game of Taboo
Friday night's party consisted of 12 mildly buzzed college students playing Taboo -- guys vs. girls. When we finished, they guys were up by 15 points. But then again we agreed to switch scores when the girls were leading by 40! So technically, girls won by a 55-point margin. But no one really cared. Aaaah, the memorable things we said....
Justin: People do this...
Greg (first thing out of his mouth): Knit!!!!
Kristin: Brad Pitt
All 6 girls: Hot!!!!!!
Justin: I read this when........
Greg (interrupts): Porn!
Lorenzo: What person says "trolley car" nowadays?!
Shraddha: To get good grades we do this..
Joanne: Study...review...revise...edit!
Someone: Girls who are desperate are...
Someone else: HORNY!!!

Welcome to the '80s
I love '80s movies because they're unpretentious and poignant. They don't try to make a big statement by bombarding us with crazy plotlines and a million twists. (Although there are many undeniably good movies that use these "tricks") The story is simple and yet it sucks you in and leave you very satisfied.
Due to an unexpected desire to see Andrew McCarthy's smile, I impulsely went to the friendly neighborhood Blockbuster to rent Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles. (Two words: Jake Ryan) Big disappointment! All the copies of Sixteen Candles are out and they don't even carry Pretty in Pink. What the F? So I browsed the store and picked up Say Anything. John Cusack + Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" = a good time. I also picked up St. Elmo's Fire because Andrew McCarthy's in it since I was not about to give up my weekend quest of seeing a movie with him in it. Both movies are awesome! I admit they're chick-flicky but they don't do chick flicks like that anymore (with the exception of Garden State and Almost Famous).
Enough about that fashion disaster of a decade called the '80s. I'll leave you with a quote from very funny Napoleon Dynamite. (I promise next time there'd be a blog on Fight Club and Chuck Palahniuk's gritty novels. Just to even it all out.)

Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...
