Something Old, Something Borrowed...

I've been contemplating getting a gaming system this week so I could play video games to relieve some stress. I headed to my local Gamers and after about 30 minutes, left with a Game Boy. It was cheap and I came away with two new games Tetris (which I borrowed) and Jeopardy. I've been taking it between classes to pass the time or when I really don't feel like working, I give myself a 5 minute time limit and I just line up some blocks. There is something about the nostalgia, and the fact that it is completely mindless that makes me happy about my purchase.

Something New

Today, in my epic quest to discover and do something new, I decided to head to a Cultural Diversity fair with my friend Denise. It was not as exciting as I thought it would be. For one, there were children everywhere. Don't get me wrong. I do love children, but to suddenly see them EVERYWHERE, on a college campus was very, very intimidating. Secondly, Denise and I realized that after two seconds there, that you needed to buy tickets in order participate in anything, and both of us essentially lacked money. I never carry cash on me (stupid I know) and Denise had left her wallet at home. I, stupidly assumed that the event would be free, but in hindsight, nothing is ever truly free. So the Fair turned out to be a bust. While I was there, I saw a couple of my friends, but by then I was running late to another event. Recently I joined a group called Women Who Watch, which is pretty much like a movie watching group. We pick movies, watch them on a lazy Sunday and then we discuss them.

Today we watched, Earth. I arrived 10 minutes late because of missing the bus, but over all it was really good. The movie is about the partitioning of India and how it affects a group of friends and their various relationships. I will try not to give away too much of the plot, but it was really really good and I would recommend it to just about everyone. Apparently there are two more by this particular director (Water and Fire) . I will get around to watching them at some point.
