Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Requested pictures, and AWESOME BEER
k. First, up by popular demand, a picture of the outside of my apt:

On Friday, I went to math physics and learned about the continuity of complex functions. \o/ At noon I went to TA, which went pretty well. We got to shoot the target with the gun that shoots plastic balls again. :D
Also up by popular demand, pictures of my "office":




We managed to get out on the roof, and I took these pictures from there:



On Friday night I was bored, and couldn't find anybody from scko0l to do stuff with, so I got on the bus to go down to Albany in search of another brewpub. Google maps said it should be at Pearl & Columbia streets. I walked around pretty much the WHOLE DAMN CITY and never found it. A couple of interesting things happened tho:
+ There was a couple who were trying to pull into a parking space that I noticed was covered in broken glass. I pointed this out to them, and they were really grateful. But they had already driven over the glass, so I don't know if their tires had holes or not. Oops.
+ I was walking around the "Pepsi Arena," which is the Albany concert and sports area. Apparently there was a Ja Rule concert or something because there were tons of people there, mostly femalez, dressed in their absolute best and really really giddy. Too bad I didn't have a ticket. :p
+ After leaving the Pepsi Arena, a guy stopped me to read my shirt "Rays cast from this shirt travel at over 670,000,000 MPH." After he read it, he roped me in and started talking about how the war on terror is shitty (agreed), how disease is caused by additives to our food and water (semi-agree) and to fix it all we need to start an armed rebellion against society (don't agree). It was the first time that when I started walking away, the person who I'm walking away from just keeps on talking, his voice getting louder and louder as I'm walking away until finally he gives up. Creepy. I stayed away from that side of town the rest of the night. Not having found the brewpub, I returned home.
Saturday morning I was lazy. I got up at about 10am and did absolutely nothing until about noon. I did some grading, then I went shopping at Hannaford. Google told me that there should be a "Discount beverage" store a block away from Hannaford, so I went to check it out, and when I did, I found this:

I am super happy that somebody on this side of the country carries this, because its one of my favoritest beers ever. :D I also found a small bottle of Chimay Wit, which I am cellaring for a while.
At Hannaford I got some ground beef, eggs, some air fresheners, and THIS:

Allllllll riiiiiiiight! Its officially Halloween season. This stuff is pretty good, although I've had better pumpkin ales. I'm sure I'll be reviewing more as we get closer to Halloween.
Later that night, Martin, one of his coworkers, and I went bowling up at the RPI student union. It was pretty cool. They have a grand total of FOUR lanes, and they're about the quality of the lanes at Golden Bowl. I couldn't pull any of my normal tricks, so I substantially sucked it up. But at the bowling alley in Troy, Monday nights are dollar nights. :d
Today I woke up and goofed off until about noon, when I did my laundry and graded papers. XD
Today has been relatively uneventful. I've watched a couple of DVDs, and made my world famous spaghetti sauce (with my brand new bottle of Sangria) :D. Overall a pretty relaxing weekend, and I still have one day to go.
I think that's about it. Peace out foos!
