Nov. 2nd, 2007 08:19 pmFirstly, the microwave. We now have a working microwave once again, as I have stated, but Kate Harney's competition against Grant did not end there.
I should first note about how Kate Harney got that one point that she did. With her lagging by two, I tried to help her catch up, but she was never around. Finally, one day, she actually answered the phone - but she was at Lizgoetz's, not at home. I wasn't so sure that counted, and would have just used Hendu's microwave, but she was insistent that I come. I did, but told her, "You realize this doesn't count as a point for you, right?" Her response: "WHAT! You're counting points now?!" Well, I explained, that since she and Grant were competing over it, I had just assumed they were each counting points. Well, she told me, it had better count, or she wasn't letting me stay. (Of course, we were at Lizgoetz's, but I wouldn't be surprised if she could convince Lizgoetz to kick me out over that. :P )
The new microwave ended things after that, though, Grant winning 2-1. Well, almost ended things. It happened that Friday, as I was walking down 57th street, that I encountered Michael Kinnucan, Mike Boylan, and Kate Harney. "Harry Altman!" Kate Harney screams. "You are coming to my apartment and you are going to microwave some Chef Boyardee!" Nevermind that I had no reason to be carrying any. I did follow them, but they were going to Bart Mart, and no, I did not buy anything there to microwave, neither did I return to Kate Harney's afterward.
Secondly, Julian's penis-drawing. Huh, I never told that one, did I? Ah, I see, I briefly mentioned it, copying from Sadie's notes:
Well, I should probably clarify a bit. By "EVERYTHING", Sadie means "All of Mike's stuff." Including his notebooks - middle of class, turns to a new page to continue writing... there's a penis! And, of course, his poster of Ashley Tisdale.
So it happened today that Jeremy came into my room and pointed out to me that Julian was asleep in the lounge with his shoes on[0]. However I was going over YKTTW at the time and didn't want to draw on his face right then. (Actually, I had seen him sleeping earlier, but I didn't realize he was asleep, and somehow the significance escaped me at the time.) Anyway - once that's done I go make it known. He must have been asleep for several hours by now, and shows no signs of waking up. I tell Winston, I tell Mike. Especially Mike. Because it would be so appropriate if it were Mike to do it. Jeremy and Winston just want to watch, however, and Mike wants me to start. Oh boy... I'm not really comfortable with drawing a penis on someone's face, but I'm not going to let this go like Rick last year. It has to be done.
Unfortunately, just as Mike and I get there, Julian has woken up. "You woke him up!", Mike shouts at Ryan (who is passing by, talking to Julian, and so appears to have woken him up), and the two of us rant at Julian about how close he was. He just gives us the finger.
In other news, apparently the CS department has nothing like the professor/TA mailboxes in the basement of Eckhart that the math department has; this makes handing in late CS homework a real pain.

[0]For those forgetting the significance of this, reference. I should note, though, that drawing penises on the person's face is really the most common case... the only reason that didn't happen in the case of Rick last year was because of Blake's presence, and, well, Tufts House was not so strong last year. We should have ignored her, but, we didn't. And I would have, but, well, I'm not really very comfortable drawing a penis on another person's face. :-/

WEEEEEEEEEEENIE julian - depicted male genitalia all over EVERYTHING racing in a t-shirt of shame attempting homicide on Phil over a board game failure to post house minutes cutting of hairs uncontested win.
