In an effort to further procrastinate the busiest work week ever, I will show you where I live. This is possibly my very favorite living situation as of yet. My dorm room:
I think the great improvement can be attributed to a tone-down in color and a selectivity in wall hangings. Also, this room has some sort of decorative theme, whereas in the past two years, the only discernable continuity/theme was color and volume of stuff. Another addition this year, I have living things in my room, namely a few plants. (Since acquiring the last of the bunch, I've had 3+ nightmares about killing them.)
Last year's decorations were certainly fun, especially arranging the mural over the bed. But it wasn't a particularly relaxing environment. This year, staying within the ever-popular blue-brown-cream pallet and Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige prints, I've created something even Tom approves of, which is certainly saying something in regard to our opposite taste in most things, especially home design.
The space is certainly a lot bigger than last year, although a far second to the double I lived in first-year with Pamela, of which I cannot seem to dig up a photo. And last night's post promised to include a pointy-shoe remark, and I have nary a one to give, at least not today. I intend to make use of the 'Books' feature of Vox soon.
In other news, I wish I was a little bit taller.
Ah college life. I find it more than necessary to update this Vox account that I've adopted more frequently than I have in the past. It's very difficult, especially as I've been unable to locate my camera USB cord until tonight and I do have so many worthwhile images to show you. So here's my very best for the night.
The residents of VGQ (Aaron, Kira, myself and Sarah) stayed in to play Scrabble, the drinking game version. The rules favored the less able: for every ten points made, a diluted Absolut Citron - Sparkling Lemonade shot. So, my first word, "SEMEN" for 14 points, poured out one and a half fake shots. With words like SEMEN, WANTED, TRIM, HO, STEAM, and HANDS, it quickly turned into Dirty Drunk Scrabble. And then Aaron attempted to prove his sobriety by juggling, which certainly should be added to highway sobriety tests across the country, agreed?
So in this movie, Aaron is juggling off the wall of our suite. Here we gain a little knowledge of Aaron's mysterious past in Westport, CT, that of his former life as a circus performer. From Ringling Bros. to Brown premed to VGQ Suite, here's Aaron.
And some other pictures from the night:
More to come, as I now have all of my videos and pictures. Next installment, my room here, and a crusader's thought on pointy shoes. Ready, steady, go.
