A somewhat decent weekend. Yesterday I went to Appleton and bought some PS2 stuff including a new controller and two games. I played Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance for quite awhile and found it rather entertaining…a lot like Diablo II actually. XD But then I got restless so I took a walk down to the edge of campus at about 10 PM and got a sandwich. It’s really nice taking a walk in the dark when no one’s around…it’s very peaceful. Last night I had to ignore some drunks going party hopping, but in general, it was quite nice, especially considering the fact that it had rained almost all afternoon. The air was pleasantly cool and comfortable.

Today was a bit interesting. I went home this afternoon to pick up some things, and on my way, I saw that one of our neighbor’s cows was out eating grass in the ditch. So mom, dad, and I went over and corralled the steer into the barn. The neighbors were not there at the time, so they’ll have a nice surprise when they find one of their cows running loose in the barn. :-D Cow chasing is a somewhat regular occurrance around my house, although it’s not something that most people get a chance to participate in. It’s kind of thrilling, while at the same time a little scary, because you never know what the cow is going to do if it is spooked. In general, cows are afraid of humans, as they don’t realize just how much larger than us they are. They really aren’t that smart, which can be a bonus, but it can also be a danger as well. It was fun though.

We also got some new kitties from another farm this weekend, so I spent some time playing with them. They are cute! :3

I also cleaned up my room a little and went over to the art building and stretched and primed a canvas. Hopefully I’ll be able to get started on my Giger-esque self-portrait on Tuesday. I decided I really don’t care if I get a low grade in that class, I’m just going to paint whatever I want in the way I want to. If my prof has a problem with that, well, I guess he’ll just continue to yell at me all semester, but I guess it’s not that big of a deal. I have some cool ideas which he will probably hate, so I’ll just have to stick with it and not get too dissuaded. I’ll need some support from friends to keep going, but I’m sure I won’t have trouble getting people to side with me. :-)
