Big News from the Roommates

While I have seen only one of my roommates since I left BOX for the break, I have still received exciting news from a couple of them. As I sauntered through a mall in Lansing on a Saturday evening, wishing I was elsewhere, I received a phone call from Al Girard. Later, on Monday, I was fortunate enough to be the recipient of a text message from Zola. First let me outline the specifics of Al's groundbreaking discoveries.

Al called to inform me of a few issues, but the primary reason involved his purchase of a particular item. He has a Playstation 2 in his room, and he bought an African Safari hunting game for it. To any outsider this may seem of trivial consequence, but I can assure you that when you get a text from Al Girard at midnight that says: "I just shot a Giraffe in the Dome," there is nothing more exciting than the prospect of playing this game. Over the past few days I have also been the beneficiary of texts like: "Lion Country", "I'm hunting baboons", and of course the infamous "Looks like I'm hunting Cape Buffalo...O I just died." I know that, personally, I can hardly wait until I have the opportunity to shoot endangered Rhinoceros on a PS2 Safari game.

There are times when after months and sometimes years that your dreams come true. It appears as though that may be the case for me and one of my other roommates. After uncovering the details of nutmeg's hallucinogenic powers on the Internet, Zola and I decided that we would pursue this legal drug for ourselves. However, we never got around to purchasing the actual whole nutmeg and our dreams laid dormant for roughly a calendar year. Yesterday, Zola sent me a text message to inform my unsuspecting soul of his recent buy. It appears as though, in the near future our dreams of nutmeg will finally be a reality.
