2 for 1 special on blog updates this weekend
We managed to accomplish as little as humanly possible today.
We rescued our friend and former housemate (he still lives at the hole we escaped from 2 weeks ago) yesterday and had him test out our new airbed by crashing in our unfurnished dining room last night. We weren't exactly partying, we were just too lazy to drive him home after each having a drink. Today was no exception. I got up and made omelets for everyone, then we basically sat and watched football all day. We did manage to get outside this evening, I picked up some pictures, then we picked up a pizza (again, we were too lazy to cook, do you sense a pattern here?). When we got back, we discovered our neighbors across the street having a party. One of the tenants wandered out of their yard, pointed at us, and invited us over for a bit. We gave the polite "yeah, we'll try to stop by" wave and smile and went in to eat our pizza. TJ and I decided to wander over to check it out and meet the neighbors, especially if they're planning on throwing more wicked parties like they appeared to be doing at the moment. Will (former housemate) stayed back at our place to finish watching another college football game, so TJ and I meandered across the road for a peek. These guys soundproofed their garage and made it into a party pad. They had darts and beer pong set up with the stereo speakers turned up (although you couldn't tell how loud they actually were until you got to the doorway). The two guys who each occupied a floor of the 2-family home introduced themselves, handed us a cup for free (redeeming the $6-each-beers we had to pay for in the bars last weekend) and pointed us to the nearest keg. Everyone apparently knew everyone else at the party, so we were the only unknowns there. When we got introduced to one of the tenant's sister, we made sure to state loudly that we just moved in across the street, in order to avert the confused "are they crashing our party?" looks from the other party-goers. We stood there in the middle of the back yard, feeling as awkward as someone who wakes up next to an unknown after a one night stand, struggling to remember the names of the two guys who actually lived there and coming up with nothing. We waited long enough to hear other people, drunk enough to speak without realizing they were shouting, say the names of the two guys, then gracefully thanked them for their welcoming beer kegger invite and meandered home. Our entire time there added up to only about 10 minutes, but we figured that was enough for one night. Now we sit, all 3 of us (we're still too lazy to drive Will home tonight, and remedied that by having him sleep over again) watching taped episodes of Avatar and drifting off to sleep, listening to the party rage on across the street without us.
Tomorrow we get to experience the exciting adventure of finding a laundromat and doing our overdue, heaping pile of laundry.
Funny how the "I'm too tired to get out and do anything fun and exciting" sets in so quickly after a rigorous first week at a new school...
