The first month of summer can sometimes be a little wonky.  As one would expect after surrendering the life of a procrastinating second semester senior, the days get a little easier without finals, theses and whatnot to lazily avoid.  We make up for the dead space though with what we can; catching up on blogs, reading books we've been meaning to read, finding little projects we can invest in, and improving our personal hygiene.

This weekend Chico and I attempted to be as active as we could with all our free time.  On Thursday we went to Prospect Park to catch the end of the

free Neville Brother's concert that launched the Celebrate Brooklyn series of concerts this summer, which we attended with cappuccinos and desserts in hand.  Friday evening we were picked up by my friend Harrison and visited his lake house up near Monticello for the weekend, which was full of casual boating, food, fishing, and other fun 'weekend getaway' activities.  While it was thunder storming outside the house had a Guitar Hero competition.  It ended with Chico and I neck to neck playing Freebird on hard.  I came in first by a mere 150 points or something.

What's in store for this week?  A ton of movie watching, bluegrass, haircuts and hair dying (yes, again, I think my color has faded so now its an awkward brownish blonde), Wii Tennis Tournament at Barcade, and cooking.  Oh, and hopefully I'll finish Jumping Flash!

Child's Play Funde Razor recently held a charity auction for a custom made Guitar Hero controller (as shown here) crafted by Joel Johnsn.  The beautiful mod finally sold for $1,026, bringing the charity's monitary success up to three times more than the previous year.  The auctioned guitar, a red and black model with flames, was one of three custom made guitars featured in the event (the other two were raffled off earlier). 

All I can say is, it's mad sweet.  Someone is going to be one happy camper for the holidays.
