Reading (For Dummies)

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Friday afternoon I went bicycle shopping. More on that later. I also met up with Srinivas and went to the Indian Shop (that's its name, "Indian Shop" :)). 10kg of rice.

Enough rice for 2 months

Then it was off to a party at Andreas' request. A Finnish girl we both know from the usual Tuesday night bar was having a birthday party.

Jari and Maiju

Maiju's Finnish boyfriend is also pretty cool. They speak English nice and fluent-like...apparently more Fins speak English than speak Finnish. The party started off innocently enough, but the alchohol flowed like water (a popular phrase for me, regarding people's drinking habits around here).

A "shot" ov Vodka

I drank two whole dixie cups of vodka and was pretty much done. I remember demonstrating how rock climbing works by doing a variety of strange jams and hanging out in the door frame a few feet off the ground. I was literally doing this for 20 minutes before my ass hurt too much to continue. After that, I played a little Britney Spears on guitar for everybody. I think I sounded good, but then I was under the influence of the great, ahem, "performance booster."

Feeding Frenzy later on at the party

Last night makes me realize that I tire of introducing myself to a kjillion new people every day. Most of the people last night I'll probably never see again, which is okay. Just odd to continually answer the usual gambit of questions. I'll make it a point to no longer ask someone "What's your major?" when I meet them...that has to be #1 on the annoying question list :).
