Tommy guns are awesome. Thank you History Channel. There are all these historians sitting around holding these things, musing about the fact that you can put 100 bullets in someone in 8 seconds. The 20s were neat.
I am also stuffing my face with triscuits.
NYC was fun, though a little overwhelming. We went to the aquarium, Coney Island, Magnolia, Canal St., St. Mark's, as well as just hanging around, babysitting, and going to services on Saturday. I discovered that I really should be a 15 year old boy with interests like mine. I got to see Abby, Chris, Angie, and Ben, which made me really happy since I didn't see them a lot last semester. My purchases amounted to a pair of red and black stripped pants, a leather Biggie-style hat, and an Iron Maiden belt buckle that I haggled the price from 35-40$ to 15$.
(Oh God, Prohibition, my least favorite thing ever.)
Home is good. I'm okay with being here now, the big city helped in that. I've seen POTC3 and Ocean's 13, worked almost a full week, badly torn a fingernail, and been to the gay bar for Sarah's birthday since I've been back. I've also started work on the props for Hypericon (which is next weekend!!!!). Paper mache is fun and I think it's going to work out. The Explorer's body isn't as pointy as it should be, but whatever, it's good enough. I need to get some other things in order and figure out what I'm dressing as the other two days.
Furthermore, my boots are on the way. I'm really excited.

(I just realized that anyone else, not knowing what I am referring to, might think that I am talking about Emperor Nero, who certainly deserved to have his Triscuits stolen, unless that very thing was what caused him to go over the edge and do the whole Rome-burning-fiddle-recital thing.)
