Little 500 Update
I'm about to shoot myself because I've been doing work in the library for way too long. To keep my sanity, I'm taking a break and will update on all that went down this past Little 5 weekend.
For one, I still don't know who won the race (both men and women). But that's not really the point of Little Five, is it? Plus I feel better because Rich, who was at the race, cannot even tell you who won. Tuesday and Wednesday night was already blogged about (birthday celebration - see previous posts), so onto the highlights of the rest of the week.
One must understand how crowded Bloomington bars get during Little 5 week/end. Everyone and their mother, as well as their cousin 5 times removed are at the bars or some other form of establishment where alcohol is served. Though it's not rare for Bloomington bars to get crowded (we have a booming night life. Ha!), the capacity bars receive during Little 5 week is on another level. Thursday night, I went with Steph, LA, and Stew to Kilroys. The idea was mine and I take all the blame. I have not been somewhere so crowded in Bloomington since the riots Freshman year. And of course, after pushing and squeezing our way semi close to the bar, we happened to stand behind a few guys who seemed like they were about to break out into a fist fight. We gave up our place soon after (and not a minute faster).
Friday's theme was: catching up with old faces. Steph caught up with her old friend from Freshman year while I caught up with Louis!
Saturday, went to a BBQ where they had amazing ribs. Jesse, if you are reading this, the key to to-die-for ribs is first boiling it for about an hour. They were the best ribs I've had in a while. With Steph's Korean friends, I also got to finish up the Korean film we started the day before. At the end, we figured out the general tone of the movie:
"You're ugly. Marry me."
"Don't touch me. Meet me tomorrow."
"Spicey noodles, spicey noodles, hahahahahaha"
After the movie, we went to Bluebird to watch a live cover band with one very sexy lead singer. Unfortunately, Steph picked up the phone too quickly when senior year called and by 12am, she was partied out and releasing her waterfall in the allyway next to the Birds. But whatev, whatev, it's all good.
And that's where it leads me to today. After a week's shenanigans coupled with procrastination, I have now been stuck at the library, on a Sunday, from 10am to 9pm. My life is crazy until Tuesday. Good thing I'm done after Tuesday and off to the South I go!
