How have I not known about this before???!
The start of this one
Well, I’m still awake at nearly 7AM because I made the decision to sleep the entire flight back to Austin from London. It sure makes the time fly, but my sleep schedule is so whacked now.
The Heathrow airport pretty much has a small mall inside of it, so I was browsing books to find something to pass the time. After looking up and down the aisles not finding anything, I decided with much amusement to pick up Twilight and perhaps become smitten with this Edward character I keep hearing about. Well, like I mentioned earlier, I slept virtually the entire flight and did not read a word, so I have a British copy of some teenage-girl-crazed vampire novel if anyone wants it (I’m fairly sure the only difference is the currency on the back near the bar-code).
Ryan, somewhat surprisingly, instigated a bad movie watching experience by asking OMan, Andrew and I what bad movies we could watch tonight. We ended up getting through the latest installment in the oft-acclaimed Bring It On series - Bring It On Fight to the Finish. We’re glad to have Ryan in the club.
“Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I’m goin’ crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?” - Queen
Elevation Burgers
I am not a fan of the “organic burgers” craze especially when bacon becomes the scape-goat in the latest “hip eateries” that are “healthy burgers.” Tonight, I went to Elevation Burgers which seemed to overly emphasize healthy aspects of, let’s not kid anyone here, unhealthy food. Do I eat a burger to be healthy? No.
Okay, maybe I’m just upset they didn’t have bacon (P.Terry’s, here’s looking at you, too), but Elevation Burgers even emphasized that they had organic butter. People! It’s still freakin’ butter.
I made a new poster for EB that I think they can use in the future if they want to make people think they can lose weight and be healthy by eating burgers.
Heathrow
An Indian man walked up to me as I was walking down a hallway at Heathrow and asked “Heathrow Express?” I wasn’t quite sure what exactly he was asking so I just said “I don’t know.” He then proclaimed “you don’t know anything!” and walked away. Haha, I thought that was a bit harsh.
Queen
I <3 Queen. More is coming to Rock Band (source):

- Under Pressure
Yay! Also, Glee covered Somebody to Love! It’s like they knew it was my birthday month. =)
In other news, it’s good to know Sam is still an attention whore.
At least I have been having fun because of it too…
The Ultimate one
A bunch of us played some ultimate frisbee on Saturday and I’m a little sore from it, but that’s alrighty. Bummed around mostly the rest of the weekend. I also made my first iPhone MMS text by sending Sam’s nipple to Viraj. I’m sure he enjoyed that one immensely. Why do I have a picture of Sam’s nipple on my iPhone? In the words of Ryan, “Oh… you know…”
Partay Time
I love how in the following Windows 7 Launch Party video:
… there is an old white lady, a middle aged one, a white nerdy guy, and then a black guy. And they’re having nice party snacks and installing Windows 7. That’s just lovely.
The Ryan one
This weekend, we moved Ryan into my house in about two hours thanks to Al, Eduardo, Tiff, and Kalyn (in addition to Ryan and myself, of course). It was a pretty quick move and Ryan promptly setup his bed and slept. This weekend also marked the debut of the JRyanFunSponge Twitter account where Al, Eduardo and I will be chronicling the adventures of Ryan at Oliver’s house in first person Ryan perspective.
Also on Saturday (it was a busy day), I watched the UT/Tech game and then headed over to Tiff’s bday/house-warming bash, which I’m sure there will be pictures posted from (I forgot to bring my camera).
Sunday, I got a hair cut (thanks, Mom!), played some frisbee with Andrew, Mark, and OMan, then took humor in watching the Cowboys lose their first game in their brand new stadium. Hah!
Oscar
Someone at work is calling me Oscar, and I don’t think he’s intentionally getting it wrong. It’s happened three times so far and the first time or so it was inconvenient to correct him, so I’m just letting it go and will see how long it continues. About to keep a tally…
Funny thing is he’s not the first person to get my name wrong and call me Oscar in my life. I think they just remember my name starts with an “O” and somehow that’s the first name that comes up. Do I look like a grouch or something? =)
The Hangover one
Nope, I did not have a hangover, but I went to see Hangover with Al and Ryan. It was pretty entertaining. Beforehand, Al and I were trying to help Ryan find a car. I thought he should get an old VW bus, Delorean, a new Camaro, or a Dodge Viper. ;p Haha…
On Saturday, I switched back to Time Warner from AT&T. It’s pretty much picking the lesser of two evils, but my experience with TW has been a lot better than AT&T (at least for internet performance). Sunday was pretty lazy, but I watched a few episodes of 30 Rock with Chancy.
Yeah… not a very eventful weekend. =)
