The Bureau performed some improv at TerpStock, and though we were thrown on-stage almost a half an hour before we were scheduled, and approximately 30 seconds after we arrived, we had a blast. After that, I commandeered Doran s R2D2 costume and had a blast at Sing Nikhil s party. Better pictures will come from this party than any in history.
is proud of me. Tom Doran is proud of me. Those two events, each rare in its own right, coincide never.
Thus, great party.
Oh yeah, hockey is still the greatest sport on earth. I watched Philip s game today and then we drove to Laurel for the Midget game.
We got to catch the 2nd period of the Maryland-Towson game on Patrick and that was one of the most intense periods of hockey I ve seen since the Detroit-Edmonton game in last year s playoffs. Really a great day for hockey.
And congrats to Wes Gee, Valerie, Andy Heck and the eight other Cardinal fans in the world.
Rent . It s worth it. Tomorrow is .
All the stuff I ve promised will eventually be put up here. It s all heartwarming tales and puppy dogs, so don t get worried.
One more surprise to be revealed tomorrow.
It s worth it.
This week prior to Friday at 5:30pm = unbelievably awful.
The 36 hours since Friday at 5:30pm = very nice.
The Bureau performed some improv at TerpStock, and though we were thrown on-stage almost a half an hour before we were scheduled, and approximately 30 seconds after we arrived, we had a blast. After that, I [ ] In the last 24 hours I ve encountered all types of people on campus. The beginning of a new year and the resurgence of a new class of freshmen guarantees entertainment for months to come.
Let s start with last night.
I got back from coaching hockey for the second night in a row and immediately headed down to play some SGA/The Bureau Midnight Baseball. It was the first game of the season and almost 40 people showed up.
Despite a heavy advantage in numbers, the SGA s enjoyment of potables helped erase their edge. The Bureau pulled out a clutch, come-from-behind 16-13 win that ended around 1:15 am. Wes, in classic fashion, was making a go at a number of people, launching shoes and all.
Andrew F gave him a good run for the money though, participating in some similar antics. Andy Heck, Alex Bronzo, and the rest of us watched in a mixture of horror, amusement, and confusion. Par for the course, good times for all.
Walking over to Kevin s today, I saw a kid running around, ducking behind buildings and pillars. I assumed he was playing paintball, or Airsoft, or laser tag with his friends, and thought nothing more of it. Then I saw him doing some very complicated military-style hand signals.
Vehemently signaling. To no one. He was ducking behind the Health Center, tapping his head and rapidly motioning to his team members .
That s also when I realized that he was holding his hands as if he was carrying a weapon, but was in fact, not. It
was about the same time that I noticed his black, oversized Star Trek Enterprise t-shirt, oversized jean shorts, and glasses. It was sometime in the middle of his tuck-and-roll manuever in the ambulance bay parking lot that I decided you couldn t scream freshman louder if you tried .
I was leaving Kevin s and getting on the bus when my phone rang. It was Tom Doran.
Hey man, I m just calling to tell you how money you are.
You know that, right?
I do, Tom, but I appreciate it.
I was just going through my phonebook, asking myself Who needs me to call and remind them that they are money?
Andy.
Again, I appreciate it. Let s hang out this weekend.
Alright man, talk to you later. When I finally got back to my apartment, I decided to stop and see if my DVDs had been delivered. As I walked in, I thought Wouldn t it be funny if Tom were here?
Nah, that was 10 minutes ago. He s probably in his room by now.
Nope, he was downstairs, yelling at the CA.
We had a good chat and he went to bed. I think.
Now, I am off with Sing and Jordan for some good eats and to see .
