So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Rocking and Rolling American Good Time
Saturday. 1.20.07 2:21 am
Tonight I went out to a rock show. Well, it was sort of a rock show- it took place in a blues club in Newport which used to be a bank, which just for this night was hosting some old rock bands, including House of Lords and "the Dropoutz" and some other band with the word "Tango" in it which according to my roommate "used to be HUGE" and are currently still popular in the larger Pakistan vicinity. This place was cool, they even have a private room where you can be seated in the vault of the former bank. It's very classy, not the kind of place you would expect to have a rock concert.

I was wheedled into going by my roommate, Chris. First he asked me, "Hey are you going out Friday night?"

I said, "Yes." because I was. I was to go ice skating downtown with Toku, the Japanese exchange student. My roommate had assumed that I was going to say no, so he was ready to launch his proposal before he suddenly realized that I'd said yes. "YOU DO???!" he asked, incredulous.

Hey, come on now, just because every other Friday for as long as you've known me I've either been at work or lazing around in the house, baking myself brownies and surfing on nutang doesn't mean that I don't have a life!!

well....

So finally we decided that I'd bring Toku along the the rock concert and then we could go ice skating on Saturday. And we rocked out, oh yes. Toku had a fantastic time, as far as I could tell. The night screamed "cultural experience". And there were excellent nachos and quesadillas. We did have to talk our way past security though, because Toku's only form of ID was his Japanese ID which was, for some bizarre reason, in Japanese. He'd left his passport at the office. :C

The highlight of the evening for me was the seven minutes I spent in the women's restroom fishing Kathy's improvised earplug (made of a wad of toilet paper) out of where it was lodged deep in her ear canal- with a dart. Now that's what we call "trust".

When I first read 'rock show,' I thought it had something to do with actual rocks, like a Geology party.

Haha, we live the same life on Fridays. My roommates invited me to go out with 'em too, forgetting that Fridays are DEDICATED to Law and Order. Haven't baked brownies si nce I got back, mostly 'cause the last batch we baked is somewhere in the fridge growing mold.

lol, my friend - apperently no one will ever believe that you do anything that doesn't involve science. lol....
I think most of us have the same life on Fridays. Only mine is spent mostly on Nutang seeing as I don't have a job.....as of yet. *crosses fingers*
I'm much more of a cake person myself - lemon cake! I heart it.
That place sounds REALLY cool. I would have loved to seen the inside of the vault! I mean, if you're gonna go to a rock show - why not a rock show at a former bank now turned blues club?! Glad your friend got to hang out w/you as well. :)

Remember when we were doing our theses?
And we never went anywhere for a period of about... what seemed like forever?

Yeah. That was fun. (It actually kinda was. Except for the massive exhaustion thing.)

Re:GREs--

On the one hand, not having a GRE subject test equates to avoiding all the stress that comes along with it. On the other hand, having a GRE subject test would actually allow me to showcase my mad biochem/mo and cell bio skills to show people that I'm not a complete retard, despite what my transcripts may say. But that fact does not make me feel better.

Ironically, one of the key signs that you are a geologist is that when someone asks you to go to a "rock show" you get excited thinking that there will be actual rocks there.

But unfortunately I now live in Providence, where there are no rocks. At least, none that float my boat. You know you've got a special rock when you can use it to float a boat.

do you
have java on your site?
» middaymoon (208.104.237.50) on 2007-01-21 04:41:56

it was more of a test than a question
to see if you were having trouble with the code verification. i was logged out, and it worked fine. Dave thought the problem might be Java script. he helped me fix it.
