Odd Story
Happy Story

Odd First


There is a man who comes to the cafeteria every night about the same time as I do.
He looks like he is auditoning for a role in the "Last Days of Howard Hughes".

Lots of hair, beard, strange collection of items he puts into and removes from his bag while he eats. I put him to be about 40 years old - looks way older, but he isn't.

One of the items in his back is a greasy crumb ridden zip lock baggie that he uses to pick up his food - often fried rice - and shovel into his mouth. when he is done he puts the greasy baggie bag into his bag - I assume to use again.

Now my question is - what gives?
He is a student at the school.
He won't eat with a fork or spoon, but he eats off the dinner plates.
He sits away from people.
But there are thousands of us all around him.

i dunno...

On to the good staory.

We had a draw today for a VIP ticket to see Japan vs Czech Republic at Royal Athletic Park U-20 FIFA match.

the winner was an international student from Japan.
everyone knows the draw was fixed, but it was cool to see the look on his face.....
Japan lost in kicks after leadin 2-0 for a good part of the game.
(I know many of you out there aren't soccer/football types.
In honour of the terrible loss: a classic
