Ham

I was walking into midnight breakfast after an adventure to Cerro Grande with roommates and a dozen others (during which Catherine Karuna and I sang 'Proud to be an American' which was really fun and the guys there put Sombreros on our heads as we sang which we appreciated greatly) when Dr. Urgo said hello and that we missed out on him cutting us ham!  But I got Dean Bayless to cut me some, which was a small slice but I wasn't that hungry so I was very satisfied and actually happy to get a small slice (she offered to cut another but like I said I was satisfied).

Anyway midnight breakfast was great.  Not as great when I was the head of the food committee, but still great (jk it was really good tonight).

Donuts

Last week at SGA Senator McGrath gave a passionate speech regarding donuts and Midnight Breakfast.  He titled it In Defense of Donuts.  Please enjoy.

My friends, I’m here to talk to you tonight about something very serious. There is at this very moment a war being waged against the students of this campus, a war which threatens our very identity and our integrity as an institution
Midnight Breakfast was an embarrassment. Yes, we had fun watching our friends make fools of themselves on stage. Yes, we got pancakes. But the real thing we came for, that our mouths were watering for in anticipation, was not there, and that’s donuts. If I thought pancakes and grits were that interesting I’d probably get out of bed before 2PM. I didn’t trek all the way out there in the freezing winter for some damn pancakes.

Bon Appetit claims they bought 1000 donuts.. Their staff clarified that statement—they bought donut holes. Dunkin’ Donuts calls those “munchkins” for a reason, it’s not a real donut. So let’s say you eat 3 or 4 donut holes in a sitting. That’s optimistic because with certain… chemical mitigating factors and/or lifestyle choices some people eat 6 or 7. But at 3 or 4 donut holes apiece, you’ve still only got enough to feed 250-300 students. A LOT more than that come to midnight breakfast. I got a C- in survey of mathematics freshman year and I can do the math on that one.

I’d like to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the amount of puns that are about to fill this room.

At its center this is about the dough, and that’s what’s driving me nuts.

Whether you spell them dough-nuts or do-nuts, one thing’s certain: you do nut take the donuts out of our traditional Midnight Breakfast. We trekked out through freezing weather, with the freezing rain sprinkling down and the paths frosting over. In the working world, if you have a contract and you do nut meet your customer’s expectations, you do nut get that contract renewed. You may say that my brain has turned to cream filling, but in my book it’s simple. We gave Bon Appetit the dough, so they need to nut up and give us what the hell we paid for. Bunch of holes.

Ohhhhhh goodness.  <3 u. 

Midnight Breakfast

Went to it this eve.  Usually don't go, but figured I would go tonight.

PROS:

• Jurgo wore a santa hat
• He also like my hat which said 'ho ho ho'
• I wore this hat a lot during the summer and it confused people
• Biscuits and Gravy
• oh my god yesss
• Those things that are like swirly and have icing...I am blanking on the name....
• I saw lots of bubbles
• Which reminds me of the guy Bubbles from The Wire, which I think I will watch again over winter break

CONS:

• No donuts :/
• No Santa
• Karaoke (while being sober)

EVERYBODY, DON'T FAIL YOUR FINALS PLZ

EDIT:  A lot of people seem upset at the lack of donuts and overall displeased, I dunno I felt like it was pretty great.

Midnight Breakfast

It's going on right now. I don't really like Midnight Breakfast that much, I just don't get it I guess.

Midnight Breakfast and Patrick Gilbert

I wanted to make a post about Midnight Breakfast and about my encounter with Patrick Gilbert, but it seemed obnoxious to make two posts within the same hour. Also highly unprofessional?

Regardless I went to midnight breakfast and it was pretty delicious. They were making fried oreos. The thought of fried oreos makes me want to vomit. The whole trend of frying foods really makes me uneasy. French fries are okay, but anything else is just ughhhhhh kinda disgusting. But I thought it was very cute how they had red and green fried oreoes. I opted to get a bagel and tater tots. I also ate a bagel for breakfast earlier today.

Also, I saw Patrick Gilbert there. Patrick and I know each other, but we didn't know that each other knew each other. What I'm saying is that we each believed that the other person was unaware of our own existance, when in fact we both knew of each other. I recognized him from my Legacy class, and he has a really great voice, and he is fun to Facestalk. Regardless, he told me that he spent an hour and a half at work reading SMCM LOL BLOG instead of working, and that he laughed a lot and enjoyed it. I was pretty happy, and I am blogging about this to brag etc., and show the great love for SMCM LOL BLOG.

Also the Dean was there and she said hello to me. At the recent SGA meeting, Andrew Bounds told me that she had accidentally wished him a happy birthday instead of myself. Personally, I think that we do look somewhat similar; large guys with short blondish hair, so I think it's a fairly reasonable mistake. But, I was happy to see that she totally recognized me now.

The photo of course is of Patrick Gilbert looking fabulous.
