   a strange weekend full of food, cool artwork, weird potato dumplings, and hot asian guys
sorry to not have the next wd plot up yet, but my weekend was too weird not to share..if you missed the last plot, it's last entry, and there's a couple others before it...this entry is long, i'm sorry...so yeah...my weekend was weird...to start things off, i went up to nyc again on a bus trip with my grandparents. on the way up, i sat next to my grandpa, who is six feet tall, and takes up about the space of one and a half people, so i was crammed against the window. then, as soon as we get off the bus, i see this really beautiful asian person, and waht bugged me is that i couldn't tell if it was a hot guy or just some random pretty girl! it was annoying, because one second it was a hot guy, the next second it was a pretty girl and it kept switching back and forth!! agh! so i never did find out if it was a hot guy or not (hoping it was!!!) but that sent me on a little "mental mission" to find hot asian guys. luckily, we did a lot of walking, so i had plenty of time to look. so then we go to grand central station, and i get in trouble with the security guard for taking pictures of hte train tracks. then we walk to the illustrator's museum and saw awesome artwork from their annual scholarship competion...i actually liked the student art better than the permanent collection that they had showing (they were only showing part of it and it was mostly black and white sketches) because it was all original and different. so then we walk to the international food festival and i still haven't seen anyhot guys; asian or not. so i get an asian kung-fu generation song stuck in my head (they're an awesome band! check them out http://ajikan.24ji.net/ to hear audio) and i started mentally referring to asian hot guys as "ajikan" which is the nickname for asian kung-fu generation, because ajikan is full of hot asian guys (specifically japanese)so then i decided that since i can't refer to hot asian guys as "ajikan" i changed it to "aji-kun", -kun being hte japanese honorific usually used when talking to a male friend. so anyway, i bought this strawberry crepe at the festival and stopped to eat it, but it was really windy and the wind blew thje confectioner's sugar all over me and my black shirt...so i brudhed it off and sat on the opposite side of the street. as i ate, i was thinking about how sad i was that i hadn't seen any aji-kun yhet...then i started thinking "wouldn't it be awesome if one had to sit down on the curb next to me and started talking to me, even if it was just asking me what i was eating" so then i'm focusin gon my crepe and i see feet approaching me and i'm thinking "is this going to actually be an aji-kun?" so i hear a voice and the person sits down next to me and i look up, hoping to see an aji-kun, and there's this middle aged white man...so disappointing....but then after that, i saw loads of aji-kun! but then again, there was a lot of thai food at the festival, so....and then we stopped at a stand to eat fresh watermelon, and the stand was manned by aji-kun, and we stood and ate by them, so i got to watch the aji-kun preparing food...then i needed to take a dump, and we couldn't find a bathroom, and i found this prta-potty and waited in line for it, only to find the seat soaked and no toilet paper...so i had to wait, but i'm glad i did. then one point during hte day i saw this oldish lady wearing a red dress, a gold jacket, red shoes, and red fishnet tights....scary...then this lady walked past me wearing this weird pointy fancy hat and she just randomly stopped, stamped her foot angrily, and walked offf. then this bus goes by covered in real underwear...i think it was an ad for all small and mighty, but i don't knowl..,it was weird...then yesterday i went to the german restaraunt (the alpenhof) with german club, and i got saurbraten (like roast beef) and it came with a side of this really weird potato stuff that was like mashed potatoes, but it was shaped into an apple-sized ball, and if you poked it it would shake like jello...and if you smashed it with your spoon, it fixed itself, and youi had to cut it with a knife..so then we started doing experiments on a piece of it: we cut of part of it and dropped it in a glass of water to see if it'd float, and it instantly sank..byt then a gain, the whole thing weighed pretty much if youlifted the whole ball with your fork...then we stirred up the water and made the potato dance...we laughed for minutes on end...then we put other stuff in the water and acted immatuere...so that concludes the weird weekend, but today i hit myself in the head with the front door. i was coming home wht a project under my arm and my hands full, fumbling with my key, and i try to keep the spring-loaded screen door oopen and i can't and it comes back and hits me in the head....lol...lol...so that concludes the weirdness...thank you for your time
