Fun day

Last night ended strangely....many "beer tears" as JB dubbed them....this one girl ended up in my room (of course), and a total of two of the girls ended up crashing here....luckily with Brad gone there was an extra bed, plus the futon. So...that whole thing was interesting. I did, however, get to spend some quality time with Cabot, one of my roommates whom I had heretofore not known very much about....he's really awesome. He's a very inconspicuous person (one of the drunk girls apparently had never even seen him...she was like "Were you in Murau?" and Cabot said "yea, remember I was at [such and such a function]?" It was hi-liarious.) but he's very funny. He's just a really cool guy. He has a girlfriend back home...they've been together for 5 years! So we talked for a while about the whole long-distance thing.

Today I went to the MQ and took a few pictures, than I walked down the Mariahilferstrasse and saw lots of really cool things. It's a very interesting place....it's glitzy and expensive and trendy, but there's still a sort of Viennese reserved quality about it....it's very strange. I went down this little side street/alley thing and found my way back to the Haus des Meeres, and from there I went up to the little gelato place that I go to.....I had the weirdest conversation with the guy there (in German) and than he got really aggravated that I didn't have exact change. It was a very strange exchange all around....

I went to Hofer to buy groceries, and on my way I walked through the big flea market that happens on Saturdays by the Naschmarkt....I found this really great sign that I wanted to buy, but when I went back after going to Hofer I couldn't find it again.....oh well. I'm going to go see if there are any concerts that i want to go to tonight....otherwise I'll probably just stay here or maybe go out again. Tomorrow I'll have more pictures to upload....I've been taking so many lately!
