Wandering about campus

[skreidle]

Got up for breakfast with brothers/alumni, then the society meeting, including discussion of the upcoming Centennial Celebration (next October, fraternity will have been around a hundred years) and the Centennial Fund drive (including mention of a few alumni, including one present who did so yesterday, who pledged $10,000.)

Then, it was time to choose between a) the football game, in the cool, rainy weather, b) Team America: World Police with a few brothers, or c) none of the above. I chose (c), left a message for Katia, walked over to Risley to find no Sylvie, then called her cell to find that she was at the mall. I then walked across the middle of campus, walked through the new Duffield Hall--nice building, the atrium connecting it to Upson is awesome--then down into Collegetown, over to West, and back up to North. Then, onto my motorcycle and off to the mall, not to find Sylvie, but to see if Katia was working. No such luck, but I checked out the newest books by Bill Bryson and George Carlin, and listened to most of Shatner's new Ben-Folds-arranged album, Has Been--and indeed, it's very good, but I didn't feel like spending $19 on it.

Got back to the house just in time to beat a 5-minute rainstorm, and it's now sunny again; I suppose I'll head over to Risley to visit Sylvie now--she's back--and maybe hop over to WSH for the APO reception before the cocktail hour here at 1800 and dinner at 1845.

I love this town, I do. :)

Guess that means I missed you at Risley, then--you're probably leaving for WSH by now. Rats.

You totally should've stopped by Sylvie's room--I was there for almost an hour! :)

Oh, I didn't mean I was at Risley...I was sitting at home, being lazy when I read the post. ^^;; (And I actually posted that comment at 5:35. I have no idea why it's so far off--weird.)

Because comment time zone of comment timestamps vary depending on journal style. :)


I forgot you didn't live in Risley. :)

What is the new Bryson?

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

A Short History of Nearly Everything. I guess it's not actually new--first printing May '03--but I didn't know about it and I think it's his latest. And it's 30% off at Borders. :)

Cool, thank you :-)

There's a Borders in Sunnyvale (my town) so I might get a copy to read on the 'plane in a couple of weeks.

I've been to Sunnyvale--interviewed with Lockheed Martin back in 9/02. :)

Duly stamped "Return to Sender", as he's to blame for everything anyhow. ;)
