Saturday

Yesterday I was supposed to shoot photos at the MIT sailing race on the Charles River. It ended up getting cancelled because there wasn't enough wind to actually sail, but I had some fun taking random photos while waiting for the wind to pick up.





I got some other shots of womens crew practice earlier that morning, but I downloaded them at the Tech office, so I'll have to post them later.

The rest of the afternoon yesterday didn't involve anything really exciting... I finished my astrodynamics take-home test, cleaned my hamster's cage, vacuumed, Swiffered, and went grocery shopping. Later that night, I went out with the roomies (plus Kartik, plus assorted girlfriends) to Pourhouse for dinner, a bar that is well-known for really only one thing: half-off burger night on Saturdays. Their burgers are between $4 and $5, so Saturday nights mean you can get a burger and fries for less than a Coke. The food isn't fantastic, but it's hard to complain when you can pay for dinner with the change you find in the couch. Needless to say, in a college town, the line to wait for a table on Saturday nights is very long.

Afterward, Phil and I went down the street to Cactus Club. Soon after Glenn met up with us again, I left to go find the restroom, and when I came back, I found both my non-single roommates chatting with a couple of flirty girls, so after several minutes of feeling like the fifth wheel, I decided to go home. I was exhausted anyway and didn't really feel like having more to drink, so I was ready to call it a night. I felt awfully lame though when I glanced at my watch on the walk home and saw that it was only 11:00...
