Tea and other things:

I bet Sudeep will be proud of me. I just bought a Brown Betty teapot online. It should be here in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I have the patience of a toddler, so that kind of sucks. Oh well. I'm currently drinking out of tea bags.

Highlights of my weekend:

1. From the calculus class I'm TAing: "Andy is two miles from shore in a rowboat. He looks inland and sees, six miles down the shore, flames billowing from his house."

2. From Joe (technically last night, but oh well): "I sat on the bench [at the MCA] and they yelled at me. There was some poem carved on it. How was I supposed to know? It was just with the other benches."

3. My roommate's cat was really scared of the people who were here to fix our ceiling, so he ran into my room and fell asleep on the radiator cover. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

4. Susan, Will and I went to the Jewel Osco at Roosevelt and bought about $100 worth of meat and 90 cans/bottles of diet soda between us.

5. The first and second years on the college bowl team really enjoyed talking about one particular song that I played on the way to Michigan. Also, we found a scoresheet for a game between the University of Western Ontario and an American team labelled "USA vs. USA Jr" which amused me enormously, though I imagine any Canadians seeing it would have had a different reaction.

All in all, a good weekend, despite the fog and crazy drivers in Michigan. I thought everyone in Michigan moved to Florida in January. Shows what I know, I guess.
