Turns out I didn't listen very well, and didn't really read the syllabus I guess, so I didn't realize we had to write weekend updates (oh oh oh for SNL jokes). Suppose that makes me a waste-of-time student. Already let down my part of the bargain! I'm making up for it now, in grandly poor fashion.
Don't remember first weekend. Probably got drunk. Seems fairly likely. May or may not have done a meaningful amount of work. The case is in favor of me having jotted one or two scribbles during the passage of the time. All in all, not particularly memorable.
Went to parents' last weekend. Got mattress and box-springs from there and switched out the mattress here. That thing was a truly hellish piece of crap. Twisted and malicious, attacking spinal and muscular integrity like a virus. Terrible sleep-depriving machine of Satan and Satan's army of insomniac accountants! Curse you fiddlers and your exquisite tortures! May you never meet a wink!
Also went out to lunch for younger brother's birthday. Cheeburger, Cheeburger. Throw-back Fifties-style place (I guess there's a few of them scattered about the area). Will make you a wild burger or chicken sandwich from a list of bizarre and enticing items. Had a chicken sandwich with provolone, chopped garlic, salsa, and pineapple. It was a curious creation. The onion rings and French fries are good. They had Grey Poupon! Hooray! Made my day! Grey Poupon on French fries is rather a delicious prospect. They also make wild shakes from a list of bizarre and enticing flavors. Had a Coffee + Mocha shake. Not very adventurous, I admit, but I hadn't decided on that by the time the waitress took our orders. Blurted something out I knew I'd like. It was yum. Old family friend came to lunch with us. Confusing and amusing conversations with the family... growing into something lovingly dysfunctional instead of just dysfunctional... read Trivial Pursuit cards that they keep at the tables. Surreal afternoon.
