Oh my, what a weekend it has been. Um, let's begin with Thursday...I suddenly became incrediably sick (in my ceramics class nonetheless). However, I had way too much work to do to bother being sick. Work mostly pertaining to my gallery opening. Friday I put the finishing touches on my gallery, and went out to lunch with Elia and Adrienne (who came to visit from NYC!). Then the gallery opening from 5-7. It was pretty good, somewhat anti-climatic though. My parents came and got to meet Carrie, which was cool. My dad harassed Jon Efe for a while too, he really liked his work. After the show I took the folks out to dinner at the Etheopian resturant. As predicted, they loved it. We had a really fun time. I got back to campus around 10:30ish, and promptly doned my prom dress and set out for the Black and White party (aka Rachel, Mike, and Medha's 21st birthday party). It was pretty cool. Got to see a lot of people. Oh, and I met Mark's cousin...it was somewhat awkward, but I was a bit drunk so it's ok.
Saturday morning I woke up bright an early and went out to breakfast with my parents. Then at noon I went with a group to go help out at a girl scout camp. That was really nice. I got to help little girls learn how to build a fire, cook, and pitch a tent. I really enjoyed it.
I got home from girl scouts around 5ish. I was still feeling sick, very sick. As some of you may know, last night was D-Day. D-Day is a day when Denison pays insane amounts of money to some band, and they come and play for a large crowd of drunken denie-dooers. This year The Roots were playing. I do not know any of the Roots music, and I felt no need to go to the concert. So Laura and I decided to do fun things instead of participating in D-Day. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go at first, but I decided that if I stayed in I would have just sat around feeling pathetic. So I took a bunch of meds, packed my purse with tissues and cough drops and set out for Columbus. We started the night by seeing The Weather Man. I really really liked that movie. Nick Cage is such a great actor! The film is very darkly funny, and it was fun. After the movie, we drove around in search of porn shops until we found our way to High Street. On our way to a porn store, we stumbled across a hooka bar! It was really nice, great atmosphere and a fun place to people watch. After spending quite some time there, we went across the street the The Garden (a porn shop). I came very close to buying "Clown Porn" but as it was $30, I didn't get it. (someone get it for me for christmas). Instead, I got Elia a very special Birthday present. I don't think she reads this, but just in case, I'm not going to say what it was. Laura and I also went into a fetish shop as well and oggled the Betty Page memorbelia. We didn't get home until close to 4am, but it was soooooo much fun. Yay for Laura making a potential sick boring saturday a crazy fun night!
