This past week has been pretty low-key, nothing of great importance to report. I went to a birthday party on Saturday night for one of the Mixtapes, Jeremy. It was in Brooklyn so that was an adventure getting there. I'd been to that apartment before (three of the Mixtapes live there, and I've hung out there before) so I kind of knew where I was going, but its pretty deep into Brooklyn so it took about an hour to get there. The party itself was pretty fun, I brought Sharon so she got to meet all my Tapes friends and they really liked her. Jeremy also brought some of his Tisch friends so I got to meet those people too. I don't remember most of their names and I probably forgot them the minute I learned them but they were nice people.
We played some card game, I don't remember what it was called but there were some cards laid out face up (how many depended on how many people were playing), and then the rest of the cards were put into equal (ish) piles which were then split up evenly among the players. The goal was to make four of a kind on the cards that were face up, but you could switch out one of the face up cards with your own if you already had two of a kind in your hand. Once a face up card had another card placed on top of it, I'm pretty sure that card can't be switched out, but I'm not sure on that part. I wasn't paying enough attention so I sucked pretty badly at that game.
At one point a bunch of us went up onto the roof (that seems to be a pretty popular thing to do in New York, is to go on the roof of buildings and hang out up there. Makes sense though, because its usually nice and cool and sometimes you can see stars, if you're lucky). It started drizzling a little bit but I didn't really notice, and it actually kind of felt nice.
The rest of the weekend I just sat around doing homework and watching movies. I made a small list of movies based on recommendations from friends and just what I felt I needed to watch to be a knowledgable human being. I watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Life Aquatic, and Annie Hall. I thought I'd like Hitchhiker's Guide better, because people told me it was sci fi comedy and that's what I like. Parts of it were funny but some parts I had absolutely no idea what was going on so I didn't like it too much. But I did really enjoy Annie Hall and The Life Aquatic, those were great movies.
