- watched the movie Red for free at a theater on campus.
- watched CU beat Oklahoma State live for $3, making their record in the conference 3-0! Two of those wins were against nationally ranked teams and one was against a team that has been getting votes in the polls. Man, am I going to miss Big 12 basketball after this year!
- baked bierocks.
- watched the film The Bridge for free on hulu. It was quite sad. Then I did some reading about suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge. More sad. Next up, I will read the follow-up study "Where Are They Now?" about 515 individuals who attempted suicide from the bridge but were restrained. I am hopeful that it will be less sad since I read elsewhere that the percentage of people who were stopped and later committed suicide somewhere else is low.
- wrote my first paper of the semester...at least the first draft.
- actually -- surprisingly -- already finished my reading for my first class this coming week.
- got free stuff at the grocery store: a clementine (one of our stores very often offers whole clementines as samples), a bottle of Kraft salad dressing with a coupon, two cans of Del Monte reduced sodium sweet peas with a coupon, and a nearly-free (50 cents) package of Dole salad greens.
- started our colony (?) of Triops [hopefully] hatching.
- went out with B's lab to a pub, where my Smithwick's was paid for and I ate delicious Guinness-and-Bass-battered onion rings, BBQ pork sliders, and pub chips.

What a weekend! And free Smithwicks? That makes it unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you and your wedding after-party when I ordered it!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm! Smithwicks!
ReplyDeleteQuestion though, are you just keeping the Triops as pets? They look kind of angry.
They are so crazy angry! :) But, yes, we are just keeping them as pets. It's amazing -- you buy dried out eggs (we got them as a Christmas present), and then they hatch! It's kind of unbelievable. We got two to hatch. They grow at a super fast rate. They molt at least once a day (they're bigger after molting). Luckily the complex keeps the apartments really, really warm in the winter because Triops have to be in temperatures in the upper 70s or low 80s.
