A completely Unplanned Weekend.


My roommates went away for the weekend, as I had planned to. On Friday I was going to go to Dusty's cabin for the weekend, then I found out that no one was going to be there until 11 and it was going to be bad weather all weekend. The weather would have been tolerable because we could just hang out in the cabin and had a fire, but for once I used what I thin was better judgment and stayed home to get stuff done.

Friday night I went out with a guy from work and a couple of his friends. We Adventist to try this new Italian Cafe place in town but it was crowded, and they don't actually seat people, so they couldn't even tell us how long it would be. So instead we walked down the road to the Brewhouse and ate there. They have beer fries and the best cheesecake I've ever had, so I was a good alternative. There was music later at night, and people were dancing... at the Brewhouse... there is no dancing at the Brewhouse!

Saturday I worked on my graphics homework pretty much all day. We've moved from lines to triangles. I did manage to finish though, and in total it didn't take nearly as long as lines. It's interesting how the shape is easier to draw than the line because it's just defined by boundaries and doesn't have all the special cases that a line does. My uncle Scott and aunt Lori we're also in town for the day to help my cousin Jenny out with some stuff, so they called me later and we went out for dinner. We were originally going to eat at Little Angie's, a tex-mex place, but they we're a little busy, Scott hadn't ever eaten at Old Chicago and wanted to watch the Michigan Nortre Dame game, so we headed over there instead.

Sunday my mom kind of unexpectedly came up and brought me some stuff and we took care of a couple of things. We went up the shore and ate at Betty's Pies, which was extremely busy, and went to Gooseburry for a while. Monday, my friend Kevin and I went to the Italian place for lunch, which was okay, but not the best either. Afterwards we went and saw Jet Li's Fearless, which was and excellent movie.

In other news, it seems a though I'll be stating an undergrad research project for my graphics professor. I'll be learning how to program a physics co-processor and then doing some project involving it next semester. For now, he just wants some one to figure out how to program it, and then it would turn into a project at some point, which would involved a surprisingly good wage for the amount of work expected. He didn't think it would be too involved as far as the amount of work it would take, so it should work out pretty well for me.

Yay for good weekends! Just FYI, some of your writing is covered up by the photos (which are cool, by the way)...How are we to know the rest of the story??? Well, I suppose I could ask you when I see you at home...but the rest of your fans will wonder what this project is, and why you were starting in the middle of sentences. ;-)
