MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

 
DANNY: Can I get a large black coffee?
BARISTA: A what?
DANNY: Large black coffee.
BARISTA: Do you mean a venti?
DANNY: No, I mean a large.
BARISTA: Venti is large.
DANNY: No venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact tall is large and grande is spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn’t mean large. It’s also the only one that’s italian. Congratulations you’re stupid in three languages.
BARISTA: A venti is a large coffee.
DANNY: Really says who — Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now?

allergic reaction

so i went to walmart with lindsey today to get holiday cards, yes? while there we tried on all sorts of winter hats. i also tried on a cute pair of gloves.

now, two hours later, my hands have turned completely red thanks to a ridiculous allergic reaction i am having to the gloves, it seems. tommi gave me some benadryl capsules and i put some cortizone cream on them, but they still sting like hell. UGH.

this is the third time in my life i’ve had an allergic reaction. once was to my sister’s pert dandruff shampoo (i had mistaken it for my regular pert shampoo), and the other time i just mysteriously broke out into hives. but this is the worst reaction i’ve had.

question is, can a person really be allergic to gloves?

(dr.) spoons the snowman

inspired by msm00nlight, lindsey and i made a snowman, and named it spoons.

“doctor spoons” is his real name, but megan told us it was too creepy because it made her think he was going to gut her. megan is obviously insane. that snowman is too cute to gut anyone. (although someone will probably ignore his cuteness and kick him before morning, for sure.)

doctor spoons may just be the best fake doctor there is. yes, perhaps even better than dr. horrible. but obviously not better than dr pepper. or dr. lan. because i’m dr. lan, duh.

broomball, games 2-3

sunday, 10pm
we played really well this game, definitely brought our skills up a notch. but alas, we still lost 0-1. but that was MUCH better than our first game. this might have been because we played on half of the rink instead of the whole thing, but who knows.

tuesday, 1am
our last game for the season! we left christine in goal for the majority of the game so that we could have two boys on offense (four teammates play at a time, two have to be boys, two have to be girls). this was apparently a really fantastic idea, because we won the game 2-1! our first time making any goals, and our first time winning! the only goal we let in occurred toward the end when we put a boy in goal, haha!

at 1:30am, tuesday night, my friends and i had our first broomball game of the season! because it was so late at night, i went to sleep after i watched house and got up around 12:30am to get ready.

our team name is “cool runnings,” and there are four boys and ten girls on the team. none of us have played before, save two of the guys, so we kind of suck. we lost 0-4. hahaha.

but broomball is super fun! for those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s similar to ice hockey, but you wear sneakers instead of skates and you use a different sort of stick and ball. it’s actually not that hard to run on the ice — i didn’t fall once the whole game. haha, but some of my teammates did : P

next game we’re going to work on our strategy, because basically all five of our players on the ice would try to get a goal, leaving no one to defend our side except the goalie, and it’s hard to sprint back to the other side when there’s a break-away. lol.

our awesome night

“what, no post about our awesome night?” — liz.

whoops! i totally meant to post one, i swear! anyways, saturday for me was spent home in brighton. and it was a super cool saturday, indeed.

visited record archive:
first stop, record archive (duh!). i limited myself (what!?!) to twenty bucks, so i got 4 cds: the wombats’ self-titled, fiery furnaces’s EP, ben lee’s breathing tornados, and the pipettes’ we are the pipettes. good haul, i’d say.

hung out with jon:
we hung out at his house for a bit and i folded socks, and then we went to the mall. he wanted a new t-shirt, so we looked around for ones that he liked and weren’t ridiculously expensive ($65 for a t-shirt? WTF?). oh, and i went in against all odds for the first time, which was exciting.

saw noises off at BHS:
OMG. so liz and i went to see noises off at the high school. it was AMAZING. like seriously the best play i’ve seen at the high school. maybe even the best play i’ve seen ever, since i haven’t seen many elsewhere. i laughed so much that my stomach hurt a ridiculous amount. and the acting was superb. mrs. shomper, my old english teacher directed, so i talked to her during intermission and she attacked me with her arms (i.e. she hugged me). but seriously, best show ever. i’m in shock, for reals.

ate at red robin:
liz and i went out afterwards and it was delicious.

drove back to the ’seo:
liz and i drove back to geneseo, because i thought our suite would be hopping. it was not. in fact, it was just me and tommi until 2am. haha oh well.
