Three Months
   So today (the eighth) was our three month anniversery. It being a Sunday night, Kristy and I went out for dinner last night instead (Saturday), to Thai2k.
   We set out on a quest for food tonight as well however, craving specifically Subway. We arrived at the Subway at the U-Mall just as they were locking the door however.
   After much deliberation (it being 10pm, most places were closed) we decided just to stop by Wendys. Despite the establishment's claim to be "open late" every light, this apparently was the one night they decided to close at 10pm for remodelling. Weak Sauce. We ended up getting food at Jack n the Box.
   Then we went to Starbucks, because we were craving the CAC (Caramel Apple Cider). We arrived there right at 10:30, right as THEY were closing. Forunately we managed to get some free coffee off them though. I still crave the CAC though and plan on going on an expedition tomorrow evening.


Saturday Parties
   Saturday my next-door neighbors had a party. Now see, the apartment next door to me is one of I believe four ten-bedroom (10!) apartments in Davis. Among the people living there this year is Yael, who lived below me freshman year, and Beta ("Bee-ta"), a girl I had actually become friends with after meeting in 11th grade at an MUN conference.

   After a somewhat short appearance there Kristy and I proceeded to her complex, Sterling, where Amie Gutierrez was having a raging party. And indeed it was raging. I have heard nothing but raving reviews of it. Everyone was rocking out. Pavel and Codetoad were quite abundant.
   It eventually got broken up, and as I was going past the cop I heard him say "...this guys hair." I missed the first part but by the way he was saying it I don't think it was all bad.


Steel Reserve
   No less than three people this weekend have informed me that they drank steel reserve recently because I am always raving about it. This makes me quite proud. One of the people (codetoad) described it as "the shitiest beer I've ever tasted," but all three reported having become quite wasted by it, and even Codetoad seemed to have had considered it a pleasant experience. He was pretty drunk when I talked to him though. (=


Sunday, MUN
   Today we had a mock conference. Unlike the last one, which was suprisingly serious, this one was completely silly. I was in Security Council. I hear World Health Organization actually stayed more serious.
   It started out with the women in committee dominating debate by discussion a eugenics program whereupon such British male specimins as Jude Law, Ewan McSomething, and someotherfamouspeople would be bred foraciously. Eventually we managed to get off this topic, and in an effort to feel more serious, discussed drug trafficking. "Illegal trafficking of drugs is a problem which has plagued humanity ever since mankind learned how to traffick things, and developed the technological innovation of making things 'illegal'" -me. Then somehow we erupted into WWIII.
   Initially I was representing Rome(eania). At the start of WWIII however, I also began representing the Sovreign Republic of California. We seceded from the US and pledged our support to North Korea (who had started the war). The US retaliated by sending all the mormons into California.

   There was some debate over whether double-commenting to speeches was allowed. The main partisan of double-comment prohibition, Catherine Myung argued that it must be forbidden because it never happens. I argued that there clearly is no rule against it, and "because something never happens by no means means that it is not possible..." I found the whole debate to be remarkably suited to my essay of last entry on the subject of policy.


Unrelated - Security
   Apparently my little brother's Marine Corps squad was called on to provide security at Linkin Park concerts. The second concert was cancelled, so security was actually increased.

   The parallels between events a year ago and currently are suprising. In the three days above, I mention one of the girls who at the time lived next-door, WWIII, a night of random adventures (a quest for food actually, as was the random adventure this evening), and a party in which many of the people present at Amie's most recent party were also present (though not named here, some are listed in Terra's entry).

   So today I was up on the third floor, MU, doing supreme court shiznaz when the fire alarms went off.. so I just had time to complete by business there before we all evacuated. I then went around and re-entered the building in the Coffee House section, where everyone was prodigiously ignoring the blaring alarms; walking around, eating food, even all the CoHo employees were going about their business as usual. I was on a mission to find snapple, but the CoHo apparently didn't have any. So I headed over to the student store on the other side of the MU in hopes maybe they had snapple. unfortunately however, the doors were closed and locked to that store, and several firefighters were trying to bust it open. So much for snapple.
   I ran into Kristy's roommate Terra shortly thereafter however who alerted me to the presence of free apples at a booth in the quad, which satisfied my thirst.
   Also a number of manhole covers on campus are overflowing with reeking fluid. I think the campus is about to self destruct or something. But hey free apples will certianly make ME content and unperturbed as civilization crumbles around me.
