This may be boring for most of you but interesting for some (including me :)). The Kroger buy-groceries for $100 and receive 10c/gallon off at a Kroger gas station works! I tested it yesterday! Yeah, I thought that the regular gas price would just be higher, but it was in fact already cheaper than all stations in Bton – and I got an additional 10c off. How exciting, huh? It was pretty exciting until I realized that I pumped only 10 gallons … that’s $1 saving :-(. And I had to drive down to the South-Kroger. Anyway, I paid exactly $25 (18 EUR) for a full tank of gas. I think I can hear some Germans crying over there ;-). But hey, my freaking stupid American car eats 9l/100km :-(.

Yeah, I threw my first party in America yesterday. Jungjin, a Korean friend and me organized a houseparty under the theme “rock da yellow house”. And we did! We made German Potato salad and Korean (special secret :)) Noodles.

And we bought the best booze ever: Kamtschatka Vodka – nearly two liters 40% (80 proof) for $9 :-):

Here some random party pictures:

I partied with the hard core and the Kamtschatka till 7:30am and was completely drunk until the next evening. But I don’t have a hangover *yeah*. Just feeling tired. Anyway, the day after:

It was great! I think I’ll throw more house parties over the summer! Bton beging to be nice again – slowly.

Ohohoh … I ate too much pizza in the last days. Tuesday, Wednesday and today … free pizza all around. I’m feeling as I become fat. Sounds like running a bit longer tonight ;).

And I drink tapped water! And i had some fun with programming languages ;).

An excerpt from the newspaper:

– Police can confront you on your own property if they see you drinking in plain view and suspect you are underage.

-It is illegal to consume alcohol on city sidewalks, alleys, city parks, city streets and other public areas.

– Police can arrest you if you are carrying IDs with two different names, even if it’s to “hold it for a friend”.

– Underage drivers can be arrested for transporting alcohol, even if it is for friends who are of age.

Hilarious!

This is getting better and better :). Not even that IU is amongst the top party schools, there are also amazing events going on here (I missed it last year because I was in Europe *argh*)!

I “attended” the little 500 (wikipedia) this weekend. This is amazing, forget about the “Oktoberfest”, it’s like the whole town turns into a party zone (okok, Loveparade is bigger – but still). The weather was just amazing, and I hung out with friends.

Lance Armstrong said that the race was “the coolest event I ever attended.” He must have been at one of the parties. It’s funny though, nearly everything alcohol related is illegal in this country, but I’ve never seen so many drunk people.
It’s plain cool. And I bought a subwoofer for nearly nothing! Yeah, all the chinese people graduate, move and sell their stuff way under value 🙂 (I bought a mountainbike, the subwoofer, 4 wine glasses and a pan today for only $37).

The funny thing is that our house is so waggly that my walls shake to the sound of Talla2XLC right now ;).

… is funny, it’s obviously designed by comedians. I’m just sitting next to my buddy who tries (since hours) to file his state tax. It’s all online (like the German Elster, but it works with FIrefox). Following questions are hilarious:

First Page:

Enter Your Name: ___”Max Mueller”___

Second Page:

Did “Max Mueller” die in the tax year 2006? [ ] yes [ ] no

Isn’t this hilarious!
