wow, what a fantastic weekend this has been at times. well i got up early friday and went to fresno, not really a lot happend- shot some film, watched some hockey(the starts got thier buts kicked, and i was not a happy camper), didn't really do too much but it is always fun to just be screwing around in another town or school or both. saturday- wrote some captions, watched even more hockey at the hotel, there was a big dinner and awards for all the competitions that had been held danny and i got one for our team feature that we collectivelly pulled out of our @$$es (it was beautiful), oh i forgot that friday there was a less formal dinner and awards for stuff that was printed last semester and mailed in sometime in february and i got awards for both sports photos and my fantastic review of kid-a that i wrote(it is so great that a review that uses the phrase projectile vomit can win an award, just so radiohead fans don't get ed when i used that phrase i was not talking about the album or band). anyways so after that there was dancing and we danced and then went over to the student center cause the connected bowling ally and pool hall was open for the conference to use that night till two. we got done dancing around midnight and went over to play some pool, they had a juke box =) i was such a happy camper, i put in my money, make my selections and start to play some pool. after half an hour my selections finally start. the extended version of hit me baby one more time, 8 times in a row, which is around 40 minutes of britney spears. first time threw people where singing and whatnot, secondtime the song starts a few people where like what the hell, it just repeated, at the start of the fourth time after a sea of boo's some shmuck gets the bright idea to unplug the juke box, sucker, he plugs it back in it runs its process of loading up and what do you know, just picks right back up with where it stopped(it was absolutly fantastic) and another sea of crys this time only louder. after 20 minutes more of britney spears the crowd that has been at the box trying to figure out what the heck is wrong unplugs the machine again but only this time leaves it unplugged, and a short balding mid 20's year old man announces there will be hell to pay if it gets plugged back in. the time is now 1:30 everyone bowls or shoots pool in relative silence for 15 minutes and then as my group was finishing up our last games of pool and then leaving 'someone' plugs the box back in my group get our stuff, turns in our sticks and balls, and as we are walking out that door we hear one last time, one more time starts and by the defeated moans of dispair i laugh having just broken the spirits of near 100 people and ruining what should have been a fun evening for every last one of them. (have you seen american beauty? it was on when we got back to the hotel and as i watched the scene where lester explains he finally bought the car of his dreams he raises one fist in the air and proclaims 'I rule!', that is how i felt) leaving that student center i could have died happy, but now i'm tired and i can't even take a nap cause the stars game starts in an hour and i have other things i need to do before the puck is dropped, if they don't win today, i'm going to go kick a small latino child.
