Hump Day

A&M recently made the stellar decision to switch to Pepsi as our sponsor. Personal foul on the offense, TERRIBLE decision making. I already ranted about how one of my pet peeves is going to a restaurant, ordering a Coke and being asked if "a Pepsi is okay." No, I believe I said COKE. If I would have wanted a Pepsi, I would have asked for one. This being said, I walked up to a vending machine, wanting a Coke to boost my energy and maybe bring a little brightness to my day. I stared at the giant Pepsi symbol mocking me for about 30 seconds, then stomped off. Flag down on the play. Someone told me that the reason Coke ended their contract with us is because our football team sucks. As if putting up with the years of aggie jokes wasn't enough, they have to take away our beverage of choice. Not cool, Coke, not cool.

On a slightly brighter note, the chick behind me that talked about her drunken friendship making techniques was discussing her dinner date with her ex boyfriend the other night and how wonderful it went. Huzzah. And she really enjoys Buffalo Wild Wings.

I'm addicted to Texts From Last Night. Unfortunately, they never seem to post any of the ones I have tried to submit. So, here is another installment of TFTM: Texts From This Morning, the A&M edition.

(214): How do you feel about large dragon tattoos on one's shoulder?

(832): I'm getting one tomorrow. Why?

(214): Great. Ours can match. Mine can say dragon. And yours can say slayer.

A Case of the Mondays

I hate Mondays. I always have, I always will. To make this Monday even worse, it's Labor Day...and I had to go to class. This is after spending a lovely two days on gorgeous Lake Travis in amazing weather. Then, I got mud all over my white toms and it is currently pouring down rain. Super. I also enjoy the superior pleasure of riding the Aggie Spirit Bus (number 22 excell if you want to stalk me) to class everyday.

Now, public transportation always has its interesting moments. While the bus usually has a full quota of sorority girls, there is definitely a good number of interesting people to entertain me on my transit. This afternoon I got to see the typical guy-with-long-nasty-hair-that-needs-to-shower and sat next to the girl-who-wears-too-much-perfume. Now the whole perfume thing is always annoying, because it's never something that smells good and refreshing but always seems to be something that smells like Febreeze gone bad. Today it was definitely Febreeze/dryer sheet all up in my business. And I have a cough so this whole thing was not helping the situation. Unfortunately I haven't found any regular bus riders to see everyday and to entertain me in my people watching endeavors, but I guess the variety is interesting in itself. I love the people that answer their phones and talk really loudly about their personal business though, those are always fun.

And speaking of eavesdropping, this girl in my class today was telling all about her crazy weekend to someone sitting next to her. Did I listen? of course. I wish I remembered all the details but Libby Sue from EJN (that's east-Jesus-nowhere) was teaching her friend-making techniques: she either passes out wherever the party is or makes friends with the random people that pass out at her place the next morning. Classy.

and to make your monday a little less sucky....here's why Landon Donovan's Monday sucks.
