68 Days of Summer - Days 3 & 4 - The First Weekend

The first weekend of summer is in the books, and I managed not to do any schoolwork. spent most of the weekend either cooking, hanging out with friends and watching soccer, or watching movies. I saw the "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and "Dallas Buyers Club." The latter was a great film. Mitty, was visually pretty cool, but not that great of a movie. It was kind of like the anti-Gump, because Forrest did everything while Mitty just dreamed about doing things.

Today I went up to Raritan to watch the World Cup and have dinner with Steve. We also worked on plans for our trip west later in the summer. Looks like Portland and Eugene, Oregon, and Seattle. We'll see Rutgers vs. Washington St. in Seattle on August 28, the Mariners game on August 29, then head back to Eugene to see Oregon host South Dakota on August 30. We'll have a day and a half to see the sights in Seattle, and a whole day to rummage around Portland. Hope to have tickets in hand soon.
