Full Weekend

I won't come away from this weekend well rested, yet I insist on staying up until 1am on a school night. Many different things occurred this weekend...I learned stuff.

Friday afternoon conversation at work:
L: "What are you doing this weekend?"
E: "I'm going up to Madison."
L: "Again?"
E: "What are you doing this weekend?"
L: "Not going to Madison for the third consecutive weekend."
E: "You're keeping track?"


I went back to the alma mater for some football viewing. Four stories of Luxury boxes above the bleachers (not pictured) sure change the atmosphere of a stadium. It didn't feel like I was at the stadium I used to stumble in on Saturday mornings. This was the first game I ever saw outside of the student section. Everybody pays attention to the game in the 'old-people seats.'


Badgers. You couldn't get away with this anywhere else in the city.


Obligatory sunset shot.


Seas of red.

- Yes, yes, the football game was free, I won ten bucks in the pool, ate steer-burgers purchased by the ticket owners, watched the game sober, smoked a victory cigar with three elder statesmen, and discovered Big 10 Pub after-game parties. The drive back was not as eventful.

- In searching for the Bucks vs. Cavs game on AM radio during my journey back from Madison, I couldn't get a clear signal in the state of Wisconsin but I eventually found the game...on Cleveland's broadcast. Ohio is three states away from Wisconsin. How does one not get a clear broadcast in the home state of the team?

- Regency House Party on PBS was viewed last night. The concept sort of blew my mind. They supposedly take 10 single people and force them to live a life typical of the 1800's. All of the social rules apply from high society at that time. The women have 'chaperones' who decide which gentleman shall be paired up with her lady. Cigarettes weren't common at the time, so the men sniff tobacco snuff. I can't tell if this is a reality show...it seems way too staged. PBS is one some other shit.

- Not ten minutes after I unleashed two male guppies into aquarium were they chasing the ladies around (four females to two males). There's going to be a lot of sex going on my apartment in the near future. All of it will be confined to a 29 gallon brothel. Awesome?

- Mark Mallman puts on one hell of a show and is the master of stage presence. That's all you need to know.

- I was sore all weekend long.
