Movies and adventures

My defense went fine; I couldn't give blood because they couldn't find a vein (?!); steel exco is this weekend and the posters for the gig have a picture of Rafiki on Pride Rock holding up a steel pan instead of Simba. COOL.

This weekend was a lot of fun. On Friday, went to SEED house to watch Fern Gully. Somehow I remember it being much more compelling when I was six. Then went to the midnight showing of Labyrinth, which was simply amazing. Whenever David Bowie came up on screen in his impossibly tight spandex pants, everyone in the very crowded Apollo cheered.

Saturday night (after a birthday party way south off campus) we all had an adventure. On the way back north we made a pit stop in German house. Somehow a pit stop turned into a search for the mythic Tunnels of South Campus, which we found very easily. Lighting the way with our cell phones (ah technology), we wound our way through tunnels that were about 5 feet high and 3 feet wide, climbing over and ducking under various pipe systems, until we got to a ladder leading even further down underground. Naturally we couldn't stop there, and at the bottom of the surprisingly long ladder were more tunnels, this time wider and taller, which led to maintenance type rooms with controls and levers and a bunch of other scary stuff. A (thankfully un-alarmed) door led to an outside staircase and freedom. It was awesome.

After that adventure, we visited King through a door that was propped open, and some people (not me, because I don't have a death wish) climbed up the outside grill-type stuff to the second floor. I found out later that some other people (with bigger death wishes) climbed all the way up to the roof after we left. Continuing northward, we explored the outdoor basement area of Mudd, and then climbed up the fire escape of Wilder, dodging Safety and Security every which way! Not really, but that would have made it more dramatic.

Last night I went to see Wolverine, which was the perfect combination of awful and awesome. Terrible plot development and dialogue (mostly Wolverine just roared) and a truly horrendous love story subplot made the non-action scenes pleasantly laughable. But the action scenes were FANTASTIC.

Today I have to organize all my job things and buy my robes and maybe start my paper and definitely start cleaning the house. I think 3 pm is a good time to start my day.
