This & That

So, this post is pretty much just a bunch of random things/stories that I wanna share and it may be a reoccurring type of thing, we'll see. Here we go~

Today I made off with an entire pineapple from Gwinn.

Now, I'm not sure about the "legality" of this action, but lemme explain: All around the cafeteria there are these wire or wooden baskets full of fruits and vegetables, presumably for decoration. On my first round through the food area, a delicious pineapple caught my eye. It was in a large wire basket and looked like it used to have company, but that its fruit friends had all left it. Then the thought entered my head: Can I have this pineapple? I had never seen anyone walk out of Gwinn with fruit larger than an apple or banana, but the idea of me partaking of a pineapple wasn't too far-fetched right? So, I went back to my table and posed the question: "Can I take one of the pineapples?" The unanimous decision was that, yes, I could take the pineapple, but that I shouldn't do so loud and proud, but instead surreptitiously. Nobody actually knew if we were allowed to/if that was against some unspoken cafeteria rule.

I went back and grabbed Shawn (what else would I name a PINEAPPLE?!) and swaddled him in my scarf like a baby. Then, after clearing my table, I walked straight out of Gwinn with my pineapple in my arms like a baby. Yes, I made off with an entire pineapple. I even think it may be ripe. I'm very excited to cut into Shawn tomorrow morning for breakfast. See, that's another thing: I am paying for a 21-meals-a-week meal plan, but I never go in for breakfast, so I feel like stealing(?) a pineapple every once in a while to eat for breakfast isn't such a bad idea!

Thoughts on my pineapple thievery? Thoughts on pineapples? Thoughts on Psych?

Okay, another thing:

My photo-editor for The Falcon (the SPU newspaper) has thus far made the photography team some sort of home-baked dessert treat for each of our team meetings (which, I will admit, we've only had two of). He has seemed exceedingly proud of his accomplishments both evenings and has done his best to talk up his baking skillz as to convince us to eat his potentially-delicious, but completely hideous, cookies/cupcakes. I haven't eaten either of his offerings because I'm a dessert snob and because the cookies looked like albino poops and the cupcakes were tres-leches with a whipped vanilla frosting which didn't sound appealing to me (esp. with mint gum in my mouth). He seemed pretty put-out both times I refused and asked me WHAT I would eat, to which I responded: ganache or chocolate mousse (aka, anything decadent and chocolatey). He said he would make me that for next week. I am very excited. I hope he doesn't let me down (or make it look like *normal* poops).

One last thing:

Being that I'm on the photographic journalism section of the SPU newspaper, and that the first edition came out yesterday, one would assume that I had a photo in the newspaper! That is a SADLY false assumption!!! The article that I photographed for didn't end up being published this week (I'm really hoping that it will be published next week!), but as it turns out I am okay with that. Apparently the first issue of The Falcon of the year always kinda sucks, so I'm okay that my debut wasn't on the pages of a failure. I have two photography jobs this week, so IDEALLY I'll have three pictures in next week's edition. Fingers crossed!

So, those are my three stories today. Hope you enjoyed that tidbit of my life.
