Updates

Still trying to figure out my school schedule and how I'm going to get to school and back has left me little time to keep up with my blogging. I figure I can make little notes of what I had on my mind as the week goes by and maybe blog about twice a week during these big gaps between classes. I think I have the whole getting home part figured out but I still need draw up a plan for getting to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There probably is going to be some major sleeping over, but I feel like I'm using people when I do so.

Now to update my blog about things that have happened to me recently. Thursday to Friday I crashed at Dean's dorm since I had no way of getting to school on Friday. It was okay except for their futon has a bar going across my back and some of his roommates wanted to play "fortress" so I was left with nothing to keep me warm during the night. I figured I can't really complain since they are giving me a place to stay, but I thought keeping someone warm is a little more important then the pleasure of playing fort. I did a lot of HUB "shopping" Thursday night. I was lucky and came across the Meg and Dia CD. I've been killing that CD so much lately. I was skeptical and somewhat critical about it at first but come to realize that its actually a really good CD and they have some really cool ideas. I posted a video of Meg performing my favorite song (Rebecca) off the CD on my MySpace that you should all check out (Its the very last video). The studio version and the live version have their own qualities. Lately I have found the female voice and their music to be of interest. Sparked by my discovery of Meg and Dia and Celine Dion occasionally making it into the lineup when I put my iPod on shuffle makes me want to explore the area of female tunes more. Meg&Dia, Celine, I've recently checked out a Tegan and Sara song which wasn't my style, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake have all fueled my interest of the female voice. I plan on checking out Bjork, Tori Amos, and Jewel when I get the chance. And add Sarah McLachlan back onto my iPod.

Now for the hopeless romantic column of Min's blog. Friday when Dean and I were trying to figure out how we were going to bus home I met this gal who was also waiting for her bus. I asked her couple of questions about the busing system. Really I picked her only because she was really really attractive and plus, she was right next to me. It would'a been more stalkerish if I would have trucked across the bus station to ask someone, trust me. It was a win, win situation. We got the talking and it just happened they she had one of the brightest and most kind personalities. I figured, hot chick is going equal bitch. This was not that case, well, at least first impressions cause I don't really know her. And well, of course I don't ask for her name or anything and her bus arrives and she has to leave. This is the funny part. As she leaves she turns around and gives me this shy "bye" and I thank her for her help never to see her again (hopefully I'm wrong). It just reminded to much of one of those corny World War 2 train scenes where a loved one is going off to war on a train and you have the person run along the train until they run out of real estate. Ya, I'm real smooth. Not really...oh well.

So Dean and I managed to find our way to Ridgedale where surprisingly Nick and Jon were already waiting for us. I didn't give him a heads up. Meant a lot to me that they were thinking of helping a brother out when I needed to be helped. Kind hearts they have. We mingled in Ridgedale for a little while and mostly in the Apple store. We pretty much rape the laptops "Photo Booth" feature and create music on Garage Band. That Garage Band really sparked my interest. If anyone knows a lot about MIDI connections you should teach me a thing or two. I am really interested in picking up a keyboard and a Garage Band type program. I also want to know how to hook up a guitar to a computer. And if anyone has Garage Band or other sweet ass programs, please, hooks a brother up. After Ridgedale we hit up Rainbow quick and then just sat around for a little while. We had to make an Applebees run that night since it had been about a week. Damn I miss that place. Saturday after church we all went over to the Mall of America. We spent most of our time at the M.O.A in a store called The Vaase. They sold swords, knives and other oriental influenced items. Jon couldn't resist and had to buy a dagger thingy which his parents did not approve of haha. Nick short on funds couldn't purchase anything at the time but wanted to. The two little boys eyes lit up as they walked up and down the small aisles. They did have some really sweet items. Everything to cure your itch to become a samurai or ninja. We also bought some ingredients to build a Nagasaki bomb at the dollar store. Friggin $3 bomb! haha. "For Allah!" We had some Taco Bell and then we dipped home since Jon had a hockey game that night.

Well I'm all out of time and I need to get to my Korean class so I will finish blogging about my weekend at a later time.
