Pete's Log: ... 6.5 of the other

"Your lack of monkey knowledge is astonishing." -- Rob to Paul.

Yet another reason not to grow up: living spontaneously is too fun to give up.

So what have I been up to? A bunch of VLSI and a bunch of other fun. The sensible thing to do Thursday night would have been to go to bed early. But I've learned that sometimes the rational thing to do isn't the right thing to do. So instead Andy and I hung out until about 5:30. First we drove to Niles, Michigan and wandered around there a bit. Then we went to Cheers and hung out there a while. After they had had enough of us, we returned to Andy's place. It was a good night, we just talked a bunch about life.

Friday night Anne showed up. We made vegan pizza. It was very good. I was surprised. I'll have to make it more often. We then found Pat Shea and went to Oscar's Pool Hall with him. It was a fun time. We ended the night with a brief visit to Andy's place where he and Nicole were hanging out.

Saturday did not go according to plan. Anne and I had decided we would wake up early and drive to Madison, WI since neither of us had ever been there. Unfortunately, we didn't wake up until about 11. So we decided to drive to Chicago instead. We had fun there. We ate lunch at a California Pizza Kitchen (I had a really good eggplant pizza), went up to the observation deck of the John Hancock tower, checked out various fun shops, and who knows what else.

We returned to campus just in time to see Lester leave the stage at senior bar (doh!). There was a benefit show going on for Amnesty International. The next band up was The Begin Again. We stuck around briefly before returning to my apartment. There we watched some movie that was amusing. One of its titles was apparently Strike. I'm sure Arun's journal will have any important details about the film.

We returned to senior bar around 11 for more music action. We saw some of a bluegrass band. They were really impressive. Then the Skammunists and finally NRQ. It was a good time. I was worn out by the time the show was done. Lots o' good dancing. Anne's a slacker, she didn't dance much at all.

Oh, and I guess I neglected to mention that my hair is an unusual shade of blond these days. I cut it, bleached it, and dyed it all on my own. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
