| So this past weekend was Chili Fest, or more like just Saturday, it was by far the warmest yet. Since I was abroad last year I had to miss the event, but from what I remember from sophomore year it was really cold. But then again it was also snowing sophomore year during homecoming weekend, and we were walking through between mounds of snow 3 feet deep too. I also noticed that there were a bunch of new places participating. But for those of you who don't know Chili Fest consists of chili, beer, and wine, tasting, live music, street performers, "bull riding" (for only $5), and of course the Chili-Cook off. This is a terrific way for many of Ithaca's chefs to show off their skills. Dino's, the Blue Stone Bar and Grill, Ithaca Bakery, Castaway's, Chili's, Pie Girl, Viva, Taste of Thai, and Wings are just a few of the competitors.
But I spent the after-noon walking around the commons, tasting not only Chili but wings. And let me tell you I was a little hesitant about the Taste of Thai booth, but it was a good decision, because you get a "bowl" of Chili along with four wings for a single ticket... And most booths were just a "bowl" for a ticket... Unless you went to Kilpatrick's and you got two wings... But those were some really good wings... They soaked their wings the night before in the Apricot Wheat Ithaca beer... And let me tell you when you bite into the wing you can actually taste the apricot wheat in the meat.
But everything promptly closes at 4 o'clock, so at about 5 minute to 4 Phil and I decided to get rid of our tickets, so we cashed in our tickets at Kilpatrick's and got literally a bag full of wings...
Then we proceeded to walk around the commons and the bars with a bag of meat.
It was great. | Robot Food?   |

So on Saturday night, we (and by we I mean Derek, Shannon, Steve, Andrew, Emily, and Annie) did Irish car bombs until we ran out of Guinness. Then I went down town to meet Rachel, Whitney, and Kelly at 2nd Floor. The funny thing is that they have a "dress code" some of the things on it were: hats must be worn appropriately, no jersey, and no bandanas. Only the no bandanas one caught my eye, because I remember thinking "And there is another reason why I hate going to 2nd Floor. I mean what are they trying to do outlaw hipsters or hipster wantabes? But good thing I wasn't wearing on that night. I didn't stay long because it was really crowded and a little over priced for beer. So I told them we (Annie was with me) was going to Moonie's and they should meet me when they finished their drinks. But lucky for us as we walked in two people guy up from the bar, so we got to sit on bar stools (on a Saturday night! a rare occasion especially when you get to the bars after 12). Oh I also saw Max, and Andy was there also. And I think I agreed to go out on Tuesday to visit him. | | Robot Food? |
| Hey guys if you haven't picked up the latest issue of Fuse you really should... Especially since the cover photo was shot by yours truly.

So I just randomly stumbled upon this image on my computer. How it is still on my computer I have no clue, since I've gotten a different computer since freshmen year. But it brought back a lot of memories...
Oh and I still have/wear that t-shirt.
(The short story behind the shirt is: I wore it to a swim party, Stokes and I started talking about them and how amazing they are/(more like were now). Then for some reason I take off my shirt and we trade... For about a whole 10 minutes before I was stripped again. Oh and the funny thing is that I used to always wear a black bra under that shirt.) | | Robot Food? |

So this morning (11 am) I had my first workshop critique. I had a lot of photos to show (although we were only supposed to have 10, or maybe that was just the suggested amount given to us by Ron), but I couldn't decided in which direction I wanted to go in, or which photos I loved the most and why. But I think it went pretty well, I got a lot of good feedback, and Ron asked a lot of questions which makes me think that he thinks I'm going in a good direction.
I'm really excited about this project and its going to be killer. I just hope I get the Pendleton research and production grant, because then I can afford to buy/experiment with more/new film.
Here is one of my photos.

Its 3:50 AM and I'm still laughing unable to sleep...

Please note that I did not post this on FUSE. | | Robot Food? |

Just as entertaining to think about... | | Robot Food? |

| Why do boys always leave behind one sock?
Don't you notice that you're only wearing one sock when you leave?
Isn't one foot way colder than the other? | | Robot Food? |
| So where to begin???
Lets start with leaving Syracuse since my plane was delayed and I didn't get to Chicago until 10:30ish and didn't make it out to the bars until way later... But all was well because good ole' Mike Rose came to pick me up and I totally called that he was going to be playing Wilco... It was pretTy awesome... On the ride back to Mike's from the airport we started talking about life... and all of a sudden he goes.... "when in rome." And I begin cracking up and told him that meaning has a whole 'nother meaning to me now. But I met his mom and dad and they're pretty cool... but we pretty much just dropped off my stuff and got in a cab to the bars. In the cab ride over Mike pulls out this flask of whiskey and hands it to me... what a sweet boy. But anyways since I hadn't eaten all day it ment good times... But Mike's goal was pretty much just to get me drunk...
We get there and all of his friends are hammered... good times... I met his friends and they're cool, Gabby (which is Lynn's (which is Mike's ex) best friend) bought me drinks along with Mike and was cool and talked to me the whole night... Lets just say it was a hugging night. Another one of Mike's friends (I think his name is Dan) took an interest in me and it was funny to say the least... You know how in Rome Keriel just randomly grabbed my hand? Well Dan did that too and it was a little weird because suddenly I was in a cab with four people in the back seat with Mike on my left and Gabby kinda sitting on/next/between Dan and I, but we were holding hands and stuff.... But lets back up to when we left the first bar and another one of Mike's friend (the short one) bought us all drinks as we were leaving so I had to chug a full beer... but I only did half and finished the half of the bottle that was in my hand... But when we got outside everyone started calling me Ithaca girl, which was a little odd because I guess that means that Mike talks about me... or at least all his friends knew that he was coming to pick me up from the airport.... oh yeah I forgot it was really cute when we got in, and I was following Mike through the bar, he kept on looking back for me to make sure I wasn't lost... And when I realized he was doing this I ducked behind someone and Mike had to do a double take and I popped up next to him... I thought it was pretty funny.
But anyways when we were walking to Irish Eyes (which is the bar that everyone goes to when they're 16 with fake ids) Gabby and I had a whole conversation about painted toe nails and my facebook "status". Oh and she kept on asking me who I thought was the hottest of the group... and of course I answered Mike Rose... I mean seriously, but after a while she wouldn't let me say Mike as an answer anymore... Anyways we get there and suddenly I'm surrounded by pitchers of beer... and I make Mike do Yager bombs with me... and then Gabby bought us yager bombs... Anyways we stay there until 2... take a cab home... which is where the above mention of the cab ride home takes place.... We go to "the office" which is Pete's garage...
Here they play pool hockey and Mike puts this helmet on me because lets face it, it is a little dangerous... But I got to wear the one with ear protectors and a face guard... But Mike and Gabby play and I'm sitting on the couch next to Dan and his arm is around me... And I keep on trying to shrug him off but he wouldn't let go... it was kinda cute... But then we started talking and I was like fine I'll make out with you if you can get to me through the helmet... Which I thought was impossible... but then it happened and I was like "dude Mike Rose" (oh and on a side note Mike is known as Mike Rose at home as well because one of his friend's older brother is Mike as well). (oh yeah we had made out earlier.)
Right then Mike and I go back to his place and watch some Wilco until I pretty much fall asleep, but hes always the first one to say that we're going to bed... I sleep in his brother's room, where his mom (I'm assuming because I don't think his dad would do this) put out two clean towels, a face towel, and a toothbrush for me... It was amazing and I was like sweet.... They love me. And then I pass out. Pretty sure wearing his sister's shorts and his brother's t-shirt.
Right Saturday we wake up and he shows me the area where he grew up and go to a diner for breakfast... then he drops me off in Evanston for Eddie's wedding. After the wedding I take the train back to the city for the "ally party" I run into Mike's dad just as I turn down the ally and he helps me carry the bag into the house... All sweet and asking me about the wedding... It was kinda funny because all the parents knew that I was at a wedding... But then Gabby introduces me to Lynn... And then Mike and I decide to go out to the bars again... and keep in mind that at this point its like 12:30... so I go inside to get my id... oh yeah I'm still wearing the dress I was wearing at the wedding and everyone kept on saying how cute I looked... but nothing from Mike.... Anyways on my way upstairs I run into Mike's parents and they ask me about the wedding and everything and I finally get to go up stairs to grab some money and my id... but as I walk through the kitchen more parents are sitting in there and I get asked more questions about me, me and Mike, Seattle, one of the couples knew Julia whom I used to play on the Clash with back on the Island... which was pretty funny that they've been on the island and go on ski trips together... But anyways more questions and it was like they all talk about me while I was away... And then Karen, Mike's mom tried to put a fleece on me as I walked out... But I finally make it out and Mike and I get on the train... owl thingy downtown.
We had a conversation about eye liner and how he can't tell when I'm wearing it or not...
We walk to the bar where we're meeting two of his friends and Mike can't get in because his pants are too baggy... hahaha it was pretty funny. So we go next door and the guy thinks that my id is fake so I have to go talk to these cops to verify that it is real, and then go back to the bouncer to finally let me in... But anyways we do more yager bombs... a couple beers... and shots... And then I go to the bathroom and a girl got puke on my dress... I was a little upset but kinda too drunk to care... But then we leave at 2... and get in a cab to go back... we start walking towards the lake but then decide not to... then go back to the office and sit around a bon fire for a couple more hours with pete, gabby, lynn, and some other kid who didn't know mike... I was falling asleep and really really really drunk... But around 4:30 everyone was leaving so we help Pete clean everything up and move everything from the ally into his garage... And then mike and I try to find a way into the house... and as we walk down in to the basement Charlie (Mike's dad) is asleep to Blazin' Saddle... which happened last night as well... Apparently it is his favorite movie... I'm thinking much like to Mike's love for Wilco, but anyways I'm getting a glass of water and go to bed... I start to get undressed but then decide to brush my teeth... so I'm sitting on the ground in the hall way brushing my teeth in just a dress... no leggings or underwear.... and when I'm finished I try to take off my dress but I can't unzip it.... So I go knocking on Mike's door and he helps me.. because there is this weird clip that I can't reach... But it was funny because I that morning at breakfast we were talking about prom and how he went to four... two junior year and two senior year.... But so there I am in the dark while he unzips my dress and I go... "Hey Mike its like prom."
Sunday the bears were playing... So we hug and say our see you laters and walk in our separate directions. | | Robot Food? |
| So this weekend was grassroots and lets just say that it was pretty awesome. The "main" attractions were MC Lars, Cat Empire, and Arrested Development. I have to say that MC Lars is growing on me and although he is terrible I still like him a little bit. Cat Empire and Arrested Development were pretty good shows and I'm glad that I went, along with this kinda cute boy who kept on "accidently" bumping into me. I gave him a Keystone and we flirted... but the catch is I had the Keystone and I didn't feel bad giving it away because during Cat Empire I got a couple free beers from other kids so I'm still one up on the whole beer karma thing... Oh yeah and I guess Mike (Mr. Fitness) also saw Arrested Development...
This is from the last week.... hehehe

| So on Saturday we went to Mike's lake house and had a little bbq with the fam and friends. Afterwards we went to Castways to see Alex's friends' band play. Johnny Action Figure and the funny thing was that the second we walked in and Chris was like thanks for coming out guys... and Shannon, Emily, and I start cracking up. But anyways later that night we hung out at Alex's and i made friends with one of the boys... the Hot one... I stole this from his facebook because he poked me today...
Anyways I just finished hanging out with Grant and things are a little wierd and I think i'm going to stop calling him... But I've been watching the o.c. and Johnny is really hot! the surfer boy who is in love with Marissa. But anyways I'm kinda going through this Nirvana skater boy phase right now and I can't get enough of them right now.
But anyways something a little freaky just happened because Jeff just called me and his friend's sister was the flutist of the New Pornographers.
Did i mention that I wore my plaid shorts on Saturday... which happens to be the day that I run into Jeremy and Jason at Castaways... And hang out with Alex and meet the boy with the most amazing teeth in the world. Yep maybe my plaid shorts will become my indie rock sweater for the summer.... | | Robot Food? |
