social life

I have been surprisingly social this term. It's the end of the second week, and I've already hung out with people five or six times. I think that's more social outings than last term total. Jamey and I have been hanging out with Clayton and [info]neurophyre (both people who live in our apartment building), and we've hung out with our long time friend, [info]sizzferret, aka Erikku.

Cosmic bowling in the basement of Smith with our neighbors was fun. The blacklights highlighted a couple really wacky stains on my pants. You couldn't see them normally, but they showed up as big white patches. I wonder what the stains were from. (Before you think CSI-dirty-body-fluids I should point out that not even Jamey is talented enough to make a six-inch diameter stain.)

I also started watching Wolf's Rain (an anime series) with Erikku. It's a post-apocolyptic drama about wolf shape-shifters, genetically engineered humans, and the various people who try to kill or control the two groups. Weird but gripping.

Speaking of anime, Jamey and I have been kicking around the idea of getting a subscription to netflix or a similar by-mail movie rental service. We'd do it mostly for the anime. Movie madness has a good selection, but it's a 45-minute bus ride away. Just Be Complex on Burnside also rents anime, but they're actually trying to get out of the anime business. They said they'd be selling off a lot of their collection soon.

Tonight Jamey and I hung out with Clayton and watched March of the Penguins. The documentary was slow in some parts, but we livened it up with some wise cracks:

An adult male pulls back its feathery belly to reveal an egg with a small hole in it.

Sarah: "I bet that chick is saying, 'I don't wanna come out! It's cold out there!'"

Jamey: "'Aw, just five more minutes, dad.' 'Son if you don't come out of that egg, I'll break it open myself.'"

I should start posting everyday so my entries aren't that long. We'll see how that goes.
