Prelude to My Birthday

   So yesterday Kristy and I were going to go see the prescreening of Troy on campus. It was sold out (well tickets were free but a finite number were available), but I happened to have 11 tickets in my possession.
   We get there right after they opened the doors, and there is no line to speak of. Just a giant mob of people, and two cop cars. Apparently as soon as they opened the doors everyone just bumrushed the door. So in the end people that had waited there for for four hours (!) didn't get in but random people who got lucky in the bum rush did.
   As soon as the place (Chem 194) reached capacity, four more cop cars (bringing the total to six) arrived for crowd dispersal.

   Deep thought of the day: pleading with the officers "but I've been here two hours!!" is NOT going to get you in when there's more than a hundred other people that also want in, and whining ineffectually to the officer like that is just moronic.


   Then Kristy and I went to Safeway to get some supplies. While there I asked if Lamar Heystek (everyone's favourite aggie columnist / former City Council candidate) was working and she paged him on the intercom. So I'm like 'muahaha what a good way to embaress someone.. having them paged like that" so Lamar arrives and I invite him to eat dinner at Thai Bistro with some of us today (Friday) since its my birthday, and what does he do? He immediately announces to the whole store over the intercom that its my birthday. ::Shakes fist:: Anything Kristy says about me turning red is As Much Preposterous Lies As Possible (AMPLAP)! \=<

   Then we watched some of the Godfather.


   In conclusion, today (Friday, May 14th) is my birthday. I am turning 22. More importantly however, it is the one year anniversery of turning 21. Now THAT is something to commemorate.
