Goodbye Garfield, Hello Eric

Eric was talking to his friend John the other day, and he recommended an awesome and hilarious website. http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/
The creator takes old Garfield cartoons and edits Garfield out completely, showing just how bored/depressed/insane Jon Arbuckle really is.

On another Eric-related note, Eric is getting to celebrate his birthday 4 times this year. FIrst he had a fun birthday evening with his friend Cristina, whos birthday is about two weeks before his. They excahnged gifts and hung out at Barnes and Nobles for several hours. He got her little mini stuffed animals versions of Shigella, Lyme Disease and Bad Breath. (She's interested in nursing and so Eric thought they might be useful learning aids) SHe got him a book he'd wanted called Phantoms in the Brain and a box of Andes mints. It was a fun evening.

Then Eric celebrated with Chelsea on his actually birthday. After Swedish she "surprised" with an expected celebration in his room. We had balloons and party hats, champagne glasses filled with Dasani water. Chelsea got Eric Season 1 of the Big Bang Theory and he also got a 50 dollar gift card to Barnes and Nobles. Needless to say, within two hours of recieving the card, he had spent most of the money on it. Eric also got birthday cards from the 1st grade class he had worked in for a couple weeks. One girl wished that he would get 100 percent on all his tests. That evening the Linguistics club had a game night so Eric played taboo with a few Linguistic Undergrads, we call ourselves: THE UNDERLINGS.

Then last weekend Eric and Chelsea's aunt Chuckie (Laura to those of you unfamiliar with family nick-names) uncle Al and cousin Nathan had them over for dinner. Eric got a book of swear words in foreign languages and Chelsea got a moleskine notebook for London. Since he turned 21, Eric had about half a shot of Sake. Oh that's living.

And finally this weekend Eric's Mom, Dad other Sister Rachel and cousin Lexi will come visit for yet another birthday celebration. Who would have ever expected he'd be so lucky?

Oh and as a side note, Eric decided to write this blog in third person, despite being the only one writing it. More blogs will be on their way after this.
