Day 286: $20 BBQ

 

October 13th, 2011Today I spent $20 on Korean BBQ, which in the long run wasn’t really worth in. (Short run = okay). I went to Vietnamese in the morning after eating some Twix breakfast, and waited at the Arriba bus stop for 5 buses to pass by. I immediately went to a CogSci lab for Tyler’s experiment afterwards where he plugged random gel things into my head and asked me to identify the emotions of strangers on a computer screen. He read my brain waves subsequently. After a quick rinse in the sink, I proceeded to EHS to work for a couple hours, before meeting up with Geetha and consuming some delicious frozen yogurt with her. I walked her to her class before proceeding to Geisel where I played some wonderful Sims Social. She joined me later stressed for her midterm before I had to go run off for a Ron Paul club meeting, where me, Elizabeth, Paul, and Zach discussed room reservations and upcoming activities to do for the club. FIRST MEETING: NEXT THURSDAY! I bought some TapEx afterwards delivering it straight to the doors of Geetha at Geisel, before we decided to leave to her apartment so she could consume dinner. When 9 PM came, I settled for Korean BBQ going with Alex, Tyler, Lauren, & Julia. I snapped a picture of the delicious meat boiling on the rotissery as a subsequent result, coming home to relax for the rest of the night to a ridiculous Ron Paul debate with Lauren. Typical uninformed American.

The cornerstone is laid for a presidential residence in the newly designated capital city of Washington. In 1800, President John Adams became the first president to reside in the executive mansion, which soon became known as the “White House” because its white-gray Virginia freestone contrasted strikingly with the red brick of nearby buildings. The city of Washington was created to replace Philadelphia as the nation’s capital because of its geographical position in the center of the existing new republic. The states of Maryland and Virginia ceded land around the Potomac River to form the District of Columbia, and work began on Washington in 1791. French architect Charles L’Enfant designed the area’s radical layout, full of dozens of circles, crisscross avenues, and plentiful parks. In 1792, work began on the neoclassical White House building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue under the guidance of Irish American architect James Hoban, whose design was influenced by Leinster House in Dublin and by a building sketch in James Gibbs’ Book of Architecture. President George Washington chose the site. YEEE.

Ron Paul just scored another victory in his campaign for the presidency. Just last year, the Texas congressman barely even registered in the Values Voters Summit straw poll. This year, however, with 37 percent of the vote, he didn’t just walk away with it; he left second place contestant Herman Cain in the dust. With 23 percent of voters backing the latter, Paul beat Cain by a full 14 percentage points. Long time self-avowed “social conservative” Senator Rick Santorum came in at third place with 16 percent. LIBERTY IS SPREADING.
