Unfortunate Visage of Animals.

This weekend I went on an expedition to do a report on a colony of clones assembled from all over Virginia. I found out some interesting things as I traveled amongst them, mostly negative but I managed to make a few friends along the way. Like seeing a whole country suffer from AIDS and starvation, I examined subjects give in to the pressure and mentality of certain substances. I was embarrassed for them. Certain subjects seemed so pathetic. On my venture home, I realized the hidden truth behind this place and swore never to come back.

Upper Class Dorm Life.

When you say college dorm food, you usually think of 5cent Ramen noodles eaten raw so that the noodles themselves will expand in your stomach to last longer. But when I think of the college dorm food I had last night, I think of Pad Thai.

Now for about 4 bucks, it sure as hell better be better then regular Ramen noodles. But this delicious vegan meal, made by Thai Kitchen, has made me want to miss going out to eat and stay in my room and lick every square centimeter of the little plastic plate to not miss any moment of flavors prancing around my tongue. Those of you who are unfamiliar to what Pad thai is, it's a dish from Thailand. It differs from your typical Ramen because the water has to be drained after the noodles are cooked. Kind of like spaghetti. It is mighty delicious.

And as for the second picture, POM pomegranate juice, it's not that good. Sounds delicious when you think of not having to go through the hassle of eating an actual pomegranate, but in reality it's only good because you have to go through the hassle of eating an actual pomegranate. Without having to go through the hassle of eating an actual pomegranate, you find yourself say, "This is just bad cranberry juice." POM is expensive and the packaging looks cool, but is not worth buying unless you want to impress someone with your exotic juice knowledge.

The first image above is what a properly functioning Mac should look like. The picture below it is what a malfunctioning Mac should look like. Unfortunately, no Mac should ever have to look like the latter of the two. Even more unfortunate is that the broken screen belongs to my roommate Nathan.

After about nine weeks of compliance, out of no where pops up a smudge that appears to be inside his MacBook's monitor. He cried, he wept, he begged for my help. Now being such the nice person that I am, I fully cooperate in trying to rescue this distressed college student and his aching laptop. It wasn't until he lashed out about how bad Macs were in general that I just laughed in his face about his computers poor display. Almost everyone I know has had some problem with an Apple product. Dead, red sound jacks, melting monitors, and my own past personal problem, crap batteries.  And we all know how those iPods work. Nothing a little warranty won't fix. But I digress, Apple creates well designed, aesthetically pleasing work machines that are just plain neat. Being a former PC enthusiast, I thought I would never see the day when I hear myself argue, "Macs are better." But aside from the annoying Mac commercials with the equally annoying fat office guy and Justin-I'm-a-trendy-indie-folk-rock-staged-20something-hipster-Long saying,

"Hey I'm a PC."

"And I'm a douchebag,"

Macs just are better for me and probably most consumers if they would only just try them out. And maybe afford them. However, this unfortunate event has caused my dear roommate to pronounce this to be The Beginning of the End for Nathan Mills. But I digress again. While writing this blog, someone who will remain anonymous, just finished peeing on a chair in the hall.

Guy One: "Dude, that's not where the bathroom is."

Guy One: "No, you can't pee on the chair."

Guy Two: Trickling sound

Guy One: "Oh my God, you are ridiculous." (disappointed)

Guy Two: Splashing sound (satisfyingly)

This has been a night full of milestones. Oh dorm life.

First time someone urinating in the hall!

First time ever saying, "But I digress" x2!
