Today I was sitting next to this guy in Chemistry and he was wearing a very sharp cologne. Not offensive, just... sharp. It made my nose sting and my eyes water. Could I possibly have a negative response to pungent cologne? Yes. It was a truly painful experience. And it made it very difficult to focus on dear, sweet Dr. Brown's lecture. We have the same computer, he and I. But he has an Australian accent and I don't.
On a similar note, this weekend was amazing and deserves to be documented. So Friday, I was just chilling in my apartment with my roommates. I had already accepted the fact that I would spend the better part of the weekend working on lab write-ups. But my friend Jules said she had tickets to see The Format opening for some band she didn't know. I like The Format. But it was in Salt Lake. It was already 5ish. The gig started at 6. Was it worth it? Eh, sure. So my roommate Kelly and I hopped in my car and were off. We called the girl with the tickets, still debating, thinking we were going to miss The Format anyway because we were running so late. But she told us that there were actually 4 bands playing, and she thought The Format would be later. And also, that the main band performing was Jack's Mannequin. Well what were we waiting for?!? That was just the motivation we needed. So with the JM cd already playing in my car, we headed for the SLC.
Fast forward. We're at the U and rxBandits is finishing up their set. Perfect timing. The Format played, just the two guys, acoustic. Amazing. With his deep scoop neck shirt and vest and hat and hunched-over stance. They finished up and then people went nuts in anticipation for JM. It was like the indie version of Chain Reaction in Anaheim. I suffered minimal battle scars; just a bloodied toe and smashed feet in general, plus a mysterious scratch on my arm that I'm not sure exactly how it got there. All bruises are generally not severe/visible. And well worth it. Anyway, Jack's Mannequin was absolutely amazing. Fantastic. Words cannot even describe. What a wonderful alternative to a weekend of paper-writing.
And then we got slurpees. Mine was orange cream, blue vanilla, banana. It was delicious.

Yeah, me too. I just barely found the building. It's all very mysterious.
