Lately the political activity has been picking up. Students have been rallying in the streets every day this week - which actually isn't much of a statement considering it's Tuesday. Because of the increased craziness lately, I've got one friend that ended up with a leg covered little red bumps where a cop shot him with plastic bullets, and another friend who chased down his own mugger to reclaim his belongings.
Yesterday I came across a young guy that was holding a marching xylophone in front of a school. I talked to him for a bit about when they were having their next concert only to find out that there was a national competition last weekend in Plaza Bolivar, a mere 12 blocks from my house. It made me miss marching band.
Here's a few pictures from our trip this weekend...
This one was taken from the middle of the huge hill we had to climb. It was uber steep. Maybe I've said that already?
Anyway, I wish you all a good night, and please observe that I'm still stuck in the same time, whereas all you dudes got to sneak in that extra hour of sleep. Just keep it in mind. See you Thursday.

We've missed the Pride of Minnesota too! Your father just tried to tell me to "eat up the bones, spit out the guts... march on". He's still half-a-bubble off! Obviously, needs some refreshing. We're looking forward to some music, some merriment and a whole lotta C Fox humor.
First of all, you're going to have a night class TWICE a week next semester.
Second of all, I'm actually glad you're not in marching band this year, because even though I bought tickets to see YOU last year, at least the football team won a game every once in a while, unlike this year. I don't know if I'd be happy about spending seventy bucks to watch the Gophers do this badly. Perhaps the jumping would be worth it though.
Third of all, I can't believe you didn't make a reference to Grandaddy in this post. Hmm, maybe you have in earlier posts.
Well, ttyl. g2g. LYLABF. lolZZ!
