Picture from the Rough Riders game

I love these people. Even though I admit there were some similarities to the satirical description Carles gives in this blog entry about the typical girls' hang out rituals, I truly believe they've outgrown that partying stage. I think it happened gradually with Diana moving in with her boyfriend, Angie getting engaged, and Meagan buying a house. Whatever it is, I'm glad it's happened. I'm glad to have these people in my life.

Humpty Dumpty

Just kidding, that's mean. Yesterday morning, Danish had quite a fall on his bike ride with his cousin. He couldn't unclip his shoe from the pedal quick enough, so he lost balance and landed on a shoddy chain link fence where a metal prong punctured his hip! It's a small but deep hole surrounded by swelling and redness. It looks disgusting. We went to the doctor's to patch it up and get him a tetanus shot, but apparently it's still bleeding. He was lucky it got him in the hip rather than his side where it could have punctured a spleen or some other organ! The funny thing was he was so excited about his accident and the ongoings of yesterday. Maybe his life is so mundane and that was the most action he's had in a while. I don't know. But I'm glad he's alright.

Eric's mom is on her way back to Dallas today. Thankfully all her matters have been resolved! And I've decided to go to the Fray concert afterall. I wasn't able to sell my ticket. Meagan said she would go with me and I managed to buy a ticket for cheap on Craigslist (how come no one bought mine?!). Tonight, I'm going to another Rough Riders game with Angie, Diana, and Meagan and we'll be doing the whole free food and beer deal. I'm going to miss Danish over the weekend since he's going to an all-weekend bachelor party for Brad. Brad's wedding is next Saturday.

Campus bookstore buybacks

Damn campus bookstores! How is it remotely fair for textbooks to cost an arm and a leg, only to be bought back for a fraction of the price?! It's asinine! That's what it is! I guess the payoff is the opportunity to be in school to get a degree to work for peanuts in this economy.

Someone responded to my Craigslist ad for the Fray concert ticket. I'm supposed to be meeting with them today. Hopefully that goes swimmingly. I've been meaning to post up other things on the website, particularly junk my dad buys...off Craigslist.

It's unfortunate what's happened with the cyber attack in South Korea and the U.S. They believe North Korea is behind it. Those North Koreans! I find it bizarre that communist countries such as North Korea still exist in today's world. I feel so sorry for the people of those countries whose knowledge of the rest of the world stretches only as far as the government would allow. It definitely takes a conniving, malicious individual with no soul to run a country as a dictator, controlling its people to such a gruesome degree. Sometimes I picture Kim Jong Il as Brain from Pinky and the Brain, waking up every morning and scheming to take over the world. Except Brain is cute and funny and apparently has the world's best interest at heart.

Tonight I'm going to the Rough Rider's game with Meagan. She has that work perk where we get wrist bands that allow us to roam around for all-you-can-eat food and beer. It's going to be sweet!
