and now, back to your regularly scheduled postings?

am i the only one who thinks it's a bit odd that on a floor full of other professionals, that it's rather unpleasant that people fail to flush the urinals, and/or wash their hands before exiting the bathroom? had an older man today do exactly both as i walked in, leaving after checking himself out in the mirror. uh, it's a good thing our office just got those little portable 1oz purell hand sanitizer things..maybe they should put some in the bathroom for those uninitiated folk.

halloween weekend consisted of grabbing five guys and (re)watching up at jillian's and dragging kato with me. every bit as good as the first time, as i rather amusingly enjoyed every good quotable, from the cone of shame to hiding under the porch. casey and her bff from hs visting from cnu dropped in, the former as macaroni and cheese, and the latter as a dallas cowboys cheerleader. saturday was a shtty game against duke that we lost miserably..though there were a few awesome costumes, hahah. then we watched the notre dame/washington state game instead of surrogates, which was completely astonishing considering how much better than us that both teams played.

after that it was off to zbt's ice luge/halloween party (more or less as a costumeless pink polo-sporting plaid pants-wearing collar-popper), which turned out to be pretty good, though david somehow was mia. got my dance on, met this group of three enthusiastic couples; the more talkative couple (cowboy? and cute policewoman) pulled one girl over whose sister they knew, and then another they didn't know to dance with me, hahah. the dj was good but got a bit repetitive as we neared 2AM the second time, as he spun "party in the usa" again, which was playing when i first arrived around midnight. told zach i was peacing out, but then ran into this black first year guy with a jabberwocky mask who'd been dancing ridiculously all night. he pulled me into a mini dance-off outside as it started to rain, and then again inside while the floor was almost empty (except for those three couples, who were now sucking face). met a talkative/cute first year girl who was outside away from the hallmates she'd come with, taking shelter from the rain (later as i was leaving i'd find her name was lauren). she'd been hating one of the brothers who had gone to tj, as she went to robinson (brittany's old hs), which was amusing. called it a night as i realized things weren't going anywhere, and headed back down grady.

got to 11:30 mass as usual, with the regular lot of people staring at me from across the pews, and the occasional person who's afraid of getting the swine from shaking hands during the offering of a sign of peace. wound up dawdling again and watching a movie and a half (chaos, and crank) as part of some sort of jason statham marathon—ever notice how he basically plays the exact same character in every movie? yeah, thought you might've..
