AND, I LEARNED SOMETHING THIS WEEKEND

So I was off work on Friday, but decided instead of sitting on my couch watching college basketball with beers from 11am - 11pm, I would go up to Boston to visit some friends. More to come on the trip later in the week - I know you're dying to know more. In the meantime, I'm a huge basketball fan, and was mulling over what time to leave so I didn't have to miss an ounce of March Madness on Friday. I was planning on leaving at like 8am to get into Boston by the time the games started, but in the end, was convinced to take a later bus with a friend of mine.

"Don't worry," he said, "we'll take the Bolt Bus, and you'll get free WiFi. That way, you'll totally be able to watch college basketball on CBS.com on your way up."

Totally genius plan, I must say, and I quickly took out my laptop and tried to start scouring the internet the MOMENT I hopped on the bus. Unfortunately, it just so happened the other 40 people on the bus did the exact same thing. And you know what happens when you pair crappy WiFi with like 40 other people trying to get as much bandwidth (no idea what bandwidth is, but I like using it when I talk about internet) as possible? The modern equivalent of dial-up internet. I was relegated to 1999!

Oh, and because of this genius idea to watch online TV on the bus, I decided not to bring any DVDs. So instead, I had to sit there and do NOTHING. Well, that's not true, I listened to music. BUT THAT'S SOOOOOO 1999!

Luckily, my dial up totally worked with me and loaded up some Am I supposed to tip that guy, and Danny was able to entertain me on my bus ride with some great links. Cute video? Check. Ryan Reynolds? Check. COLLEGE BASKETBALL? CHECK. Totally helped me get my fill until I was able to find a TV and watch the rest of the games later. Overall, just a minor fail for the afternoon.

In other news, apparently bathroom attendants are boring. How do I know that? Well, only 11 people voted... 4 of which were me, Danny, and our mothers. Thanks moms! Nonetheless, it was still an EPIC week, as this made our first tie on AmISupposedToTipThatGuy, 5-5! So there you are America - if you find yourself face-to-face with a bathroom attendant, don't ask us what to do, because we STILL have no idea. I guess I'll stick to my usual method of awkwardly washing my hands for like 2 minutes while deciding whether to dig deep in my wallet for a buck.

Peace.
