Friday, Two Months Ago
Oh, where does the time go? This should paint a fairly accurate picture of what moving looks like for GenGuYs post-college, pre-living with significant other…
You stop keeping track about a 3/5 of the way through.
Yes, that is a basketball hoop - I had a bit more room in my Minnesota apt.
No, books are not strategically placed and I may or may not have stolen Michael Porter’s Competitive Strategy from school. (I read it before going to bed every night.) Shhh.
Pittsburgh Loses
Georgetown beat Pittsburgh 61-58 this morning (or afternoon depending on time zone and how late you sleep on weekends). Hit up a bar Champp’s (yes, 2 p’s) in Richfield, MN - a little outside of Minneapolis. Total local bar, but after a couple Sunday mornings in a row there, we’re totally in with Barb, the bartender. Only people interested in watching ESPN Full Court games - Big East action - and I was clearly the only person in the entire bar excited when Gtown hung on to oust the #9 team in the nation (barely). So threw back some brewski’s, celebrated quickly and more quietly then normal, and came back to the pad for a solid 2 hour nap. Watched the Super Bowl with a bunch of peeps at a friends house. Pittsburgh won that less important game. At least that city won’t be totally depressed tonight. Off to Colombia in the A.M.
And Drink Plenty of This
That’s right. Apple Gatorade. If there was going to be any sneaky smuggling back into the U.S., it was going to be with this product. Note: there’s really no other way to smuggle than sneakily, but I’m giving a shout out to my sneaky steals in bball games as well as to John Turturro in Mr. Deeds, whose sneakiness was constantly being underestimated. I bet he and Liam probably drank a bunch before rolling too. So this, and the Pomelo flavor, kept me going during my tour of the city. The ultimate electrolaxative. Perfect for a hungover morning. Sorry, but it’s true. Photo: Gatorade Manzana in Patio Bullrich mall.
A Minor Scare
I’m too far away to have a heart attack in my hotel room and expect to be found and saved. So either it’s ESPN’s fault or my own suspect translation, but before going to commercial break this morning, I heard (translated), “Leading by 4 points with less than 4 seconds left, did Georgetown manage to lose to Notre Dame?” I pounded my chest a couple times Farley- not King Kong-style and waited patiently for the show’s return. 2 minutes later I was watching Bowman foul Colin (something, he’s white) and believed all my suspicions were true. OT1 - had a chance to lose the game. OT2 - thankfully we got out with a win. I think it’s because I didn’t do the Jesus pose and post.
