Food, Drinks,...Drunk!

Ok so this post is mostly about Bobby's birthday...but I need to start with some things that happened earlier in the day.  Around 4:30, Spenser's friend Emma came over because they were going to cook this super fancy dinner and talk about Yiddish stuff.  As she was cutting up vegetables and such, Spenser started telling Taylor and I how he wanted to be a hair stylist.  Ok, fair enough.  Well then he proceeds to say that he wants to be a gynecologist.  He says we can just come in to see him, sit down, and he'll take care of our vag and hair all at the same time.  And the funny part is, it was kind of hard to tell if he was kidding because he started saying "all" he needed to do was take the MCAT and some pre-med classes...

So anyways, we get ready to go to BDubs.  I curled my hair for like the first time ever and it actually turned out pretty well!  As I was in the bathroom doing that, Spenser kept coming up to the door and getting his groove on...very entertaining.  Finally, we walked to BDubs with Bobby and met like 15 other people there including mostly AED people, Kelly, and Justin.  Bobby first ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and then a Margarita.  After finishing our food, Bobby and his little, Greg, played darts and pool while the rest of us just sat and talked.  Taylor and Christine left because Taylor had to drive home.  Before everyone else dispersed, a random guy at the other pool table bought Bobby a shot so that was cool. 

 Now, here is where I can no longer tell you the happenings of Bobby's night.  Dan, Akshay, and Kevin took him out to the bars where my only indication of his level of drunkenness is a few texts and some facebook postings by Akshay (which you can view on Bobby's wall).  

But...there was still excitement going on at CART house as well.  When I got home, I found Spenser stumbling around giggling his head off.  It was only 10:00.  So, I went in Christine's room and played around on my computer for a while. Until...Justin and Kelly showed up at the door.  For some unknown reason, they thought there was a party at our house.  Teener and I had to explain to them that no one but us and our drunk roommate and his friends were home and that nothing interesting was going on.  Meanwhile, Spenser has been in the shower for over 20 minutes.  I got worried that he was passed out in there and made Christine go knock on the door.  She did and he didn't answer.  But finally he did so don't worry he's alive!  It took some time, but finally Justin and Kelly got the hint that we weren't going to entertain them and they left.  I went to the bathroom to get ready for bed, where I became fairly convinced that Spenser had showered in cologne, and then went to sleep. 

It was a good night and made me super excited for our SUPER AMAZING AWESOME EPIC 21ST!   

Dr. Convery

Today, I had a meeting with my (maybe!) thesis advisor. Nancy is certifiably insane, but also probably a genius. She has SO MANY BOOKS! I think its actually impossible that she's read them all, but they were impressive nonetheless.


Nancy has a spear in her bathroom. Taylor and I saw it.

 We had some awkward chatting where she spoke in some words I didn't understand. She is super excited that I like Africa (she'd probably love you even more, Rachael). Anyway, she is writing me a letter of rec for being an honors fellow, she wants to be my advisor, and she told me I should apply for more grant money this summer and hire my own research assistants. Also she thinks I should get a PhD in anthropology.
I'm pretty excited, maybe eventually I will pick a topic!

this is what I will look like after I become an anthropologist

Also, today I feel pretty sure I don't want to be a doctor, just to keep ART updated on my life plans.

CAT and boobs

Yesterday, Spenser abandoned CAT for the weekend. I think he went home, but I'm actually not sure because he just left when I got home from class. This was sad because he left lots of dishes in the sink. Now the sink is clean, though, so that's happy.

Also yesterday, CAT went shopping. Ashley needed some food that was not just snacks and I needed to return bottles and cans, because it gives me anxiety when the recycling bin is full. Taylor didn't need things really, but she's our chauffer.

While we were out, we also went to Briarwood, because I had been given false information that the semi-annual sale was still happening at Victoria's Secret and CART loves bras. The sale was over, but there were still some bins of cheap bras and CT each got one and A got 2! Thus the title of this blog entry.
Last night, Bobshley went to an AED progressive while CT stayed home and were lame. Megavideo has been shut down (a sure sign that the world is actually ending this year), so we spent half an hour searching Netflix for a movie to watch, only to be rejected because apparently the Converys were already watching on another device. It was not a very exciting night, sorry.

It's finally snowy in MI, which is happy but sad. It's happy because snow is really pretty, and I just got a new pair of boots which make me feel stylish and warm. It's sad though, because the cold makes me want to sleep and eat all the time, and I have lots of work to do.

Ashley's first game!

A Night of Games

All day yesterday, we talked about how we wanted to do something fun...but we didn't know what.  We went to get free South Quad dinner from Teener (which was chicken patties and mozzerella sticks!) and sat at the table pondering what to do with ourselves.  When suddenly, we all had the same brilliant idea! Game Night!  So after a few minutes of being those annoying people who sit around when the dining hall people want to close, Christine kicked us out and we went to the CART house to prepare our evening of fun. 

We now have bajillions of games.  For Christmas, Bobby got Catchphrase and this game called Say Anything...It's kind of like a combo of Apples to Apples and Loaded Questions.  So anyways, we warmed up with Catchphrase.  Since there were 5 of us, we decided that instead of playing on teams, the person who it buzzed on would just get a letter of HORSE each time it landed on them.  Eric lost.  Taylor won.  Teener was a poor sport for coming in second to last.  

Then the drinking began.  Eric and Ashley had hot chocolate with alcohol infused whipped cream which was delicious!  Bobby and Teener had wine, and Taylor had the strawberry lemonade drink that we invented.   We then proceeded to play Smart Ass (the worst game ever invented).  We made Bobby and Christine go around the board twice because the rest of us were bad.  Taylor won again.

We finished up the evening with Say Anything.  Everything went great the first round.  A, C, and T all tied for first with E and B coming in last.  Things started to go downhill when we got into round 2.  The good news: THE STRAWBERRY VODKA IS FINALLY GONE.  The bad news: some of it managed to make its way into Taylor's nose.  After the question to Eric of  "What is the best way to waste time?", Christine, Bobby and Ashley all simultaneously threw down their answers of "SEX" which caused Taylor to burst out laughing and thus led to her booger-vodka fountain.

All in all, in was a good night.  WE MISS YOU!

  

CAT Starts a Blog!

Today, Ashley and Taylor came up with a brilliant idea: CAT should start a blog together to keep R filled in on what goes on in CART House while she is in Senegal! This way, she won't have to tell all three of us the same thing in separate emails and also we won't all end up telling her the same things, like about Eric's friend visiting, in our emails. CAT is all about efficiency. If you are not the R in CART, this blog is not for you, so go away.
