Students are back on campus--Cornell classes started last week.
Today I saw the most adorable freshman couple walking around. One was a short indian guy wearing a Firefox t-shirt. He was holding hands with a much taller pale girl wearing an "I'm blogging this" t-shirt.
They were so cute and nerdy! I wanted to take their picture, but I didn't have a good answer if they asked me 'why?'...the girl would at least sympathize with my desire to blog my sighting.
I told a coworker I wanted to get a Firefox t-shirt, and she replied, "Yeah, that's what girls go for."... :-( I'd talk to a girl in a Firefox shirt.
This weekend my sister Bethany and I went to the Renaissance Festival in Sterling, NY. Highlights, beyond the flagons of mead, include:
- Sword-swallowing magician with magical water from India
- Fire-juggling guy for whom my sister volunteered me as a assistant, during which assisting I had to jump out of the way when an uncoordinated 13-year-old helper hurled a lit torch clear over the juggler's head and across the stage.
- Ridiculous amounts of unhealthy food.
However, the Sterling, NY festival was way more expensive and theme-park tourist-trappy than the Maryland Renaissance Festival where Kathie works as a hair braider. The MDRF also has better entertainers.
Hopefully I'll be at the MDRF in a few weeks.
