An apple for serenity, a pendant for balance...

So brigitte and I both decided to fast yesterday. They were advertising this event on campus called the Fast-a-thon which is put on by the Muslim Student Organization and coincides with Ramadan. They had corporate sponsers pledge to donate money to aid this humanitarian organization for however many non-muslim students fasted, so we did. It was pretty easy seeing as it was just for a day, but towards the end i was getting pretty hungry. Brigitte was scaring me towards the end when she said "I'm so hungry I could eat you!" and then stared at me as if she just might. We went to the mosque on Exposition and Vermont to view some of the prayers and then break the fast and listen to some people talk about spirituality. Overall, it was a lot of fun. It's always interesting to see how other religions practice...even if it's just a small glimpse into their practices.

Afterwards, I headed over to Ground Zero coffee shop where I was supposed to be meeting some sorority people for a live out event but it turned out to be only me and megan, and it wasnt jazz like we had expected. Instead it was some moshing metal band and even though usually I get into punk music, I just wasnt feeling them. I came home and continued to feed my Sex and the City obsession. Tonight is Jon Brion! Unfortunately, they only gave me reservations for 3 and not 7, but that's ok. I'll be trying to take the other people who can't go this time some time soon. I'm so excited though, I haven't gone to see his show since mid-summer and I'm sure this will be a good one.
