Nog Fest '08

Every December my friends throw what they call, Nog Fest. It is a Christmas party they host, and you are highly encouraged to wear ugly sweaters. At Nog Fest they have of course, Egg Nog, Guitar Hero, a dart competition, prizes for the winners with the ugliest sweaters, and more fun and games.

My roommate Lindsey and I went to the D.I. to look for some ugly sweaters. Last year I tried this, and I found a Christmas sweater, but I didn't think it was that ugly. This year, we scored pretty big. I found this great looking sweater vest type thing, and Lindsey found a burnt orange cardigan type sweater. Brittany ended up wearing a sweater of mine cause she didnt' get a chance to buy her own ugly sweater. (If you think her sweater is ugly than you have bad taste. It's from H & M!!!!)

The party was really fun and we all had a good time. The crowd seemed to die down pretty fast though, around 10:45 it was pretty much over. I guess that's what happens when there's other things going on in the town, haha.

A few weeks ago in my Anthropology class we were talking about food. The topic of foraging came up, and we discussed how many people have to forage for their food. We have to complete a number of journals throughout the semester. Well, my teacher decided that foraging would be a good journal entry. So he assigned us all to go dumpster diving for something we could eat. Yeah, pretty gross right? Well me and a girl in my class, along with our friend T.C. decided we'd hit up Great Harvest Bread Co. dumpster. (yeah, you're probably wondering if dumpster diving is illegal... I'm pretty sure it is. but only if you get caught...hahah). We were warned about going to Wal*Mart and Broulim's, so that's why we chose Great Harvest. I think we did pretty well. We went around 8:30 pm and right on top was a huge layer of cinnamon rolls. I would say there was about 20-25, untouched (besides dumpster deliciousness) cinnamon rolls. And I'm pretty sure there was some different kind of filling, like strawberry or rasberry, because my fingers were red afterwards.
This is what we found:Don't you just wanna eat 'em?
