This Past Weekend

This past weekend I ate at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N’ Waffles for the first time. It was delicious. I went there with my brother, Jason, and my friend Dan (he’s the handsome fellow in the black and white photo wearing the bowtie and holding the pipe in the “my friends” section…sorry ladies, he’s taken). Dan informed me that he was getting annoyed with the fact that he received emails every time I update my blog (something which I suppose I do with some frequency). Hopefully, Dan is less annoyed with this post’s email because I am mentioning his name (anyone else who is beginning to get annoyed with all the blog update emails, feel free to let me know and I will, if it makes you feel any better, also mention your name).

This past weekend 20 year old Leyan Lo set a new world record for solving the Rubik’s Cube. His time of 11.13 seconds broke the previous record of 11.75 seconds set by Frenchman Jean Pons at the Dutch Open competition last year.

This past weekend it did not rain cats and dogs, but it did rain cat. While I was watching the Patriots vs. Broncos football game, a cat fell from the sky and landed outside my apartment. I did not see the cat fall, but I heard it land (it was surprisingly loud). Upon landing the cat began to meow loudly, this caused Socrates (my cat) to run around my apartment and start meowing at the back door, which subsequently led to more meowing from the cat outside. At first I was kind of afraid to go outside (mostly due to fear of other falling cats…in case some kind of Magnolia thing was going on but with cats not frogs), but once I got Socrates to calm down and put her into another room, I went outside to investigate. Turns out it was not in fact raining cats, but instead the cat from upstairs had jumped off the balcony, leading to her arrival 2 stories below. Shortly after I went outside the cat’s owner came down to retrieve her cat. She (the cat) seemed to be okay, and the owner apologized for any inconvenience. I told her that it was really no inconvenience for me, and that I was just glad her cat didn’t get hurt. However, I am now afraid that my neighbors have a suicidal cat. I’m contemplating warning anyone who might use my back door to be careful while leaving in case she (the cat) tries it again.

This past weekend citizens of Westerville, Ohio celebrated the lifting of an alcohol ban that had been in place for 131 years. Michael’s Pizza became the first establishment in Westerville’s uptown business district to legally serve a beer since 1875.

This past weekend I tried to go, also with Jason and Dan, to a hooka bar but it was closed, so we settled for some Irish coffee at a Pub nearby instead. If Dan drinks (I believe the number was) 6 more Irish Coffees at the Pub they will put a shamrock with his name on it up on the wall (I consider this accomplishment only slightly less impressive then finishing the Rubik’s Cube in 11.13 seconds).

This past weekend self-proclaimed vampire, Jonathon Sharkey, announced his candidacy for governor of Minnesota. He will be running on the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party Ticket.

This past weekend I watched the first part of this season’s premiere of 24. In less than one hour I will watch the conclusion. My weekly television schedule now looks like this: Sunday – West Wing, Family Guy; Monday – 24; Tuesday – The Shield; Wednesday – Lost, Invasion; Thursday – The O.C., My Name Is Earl, The Office, E.R. (I also watch Arrested Development but that’s too complicated to really label under a specific day since it usually was on, on Mondays, but apparently the last 4 episodes of the season (series?) are showing on Friday Feb 10.)

This past weekend Eminem remarried Kim.

That’s pretty much everything that happened this past weekend…
