yesterday i went to party. most of the people there were English dept. graduate students and from Comparative literature ( fuck knows what that means). frankly i was out of steam at the party as i was already drinking at some other party and had had lots of Indian food (read lethargic).

at the party some kids were playing beer pong, i will not go into details to explain this intricate sport of skill and drinking. met a girl, who was standing by herself, so i started talking to her. and she would not converse. she said shes watching beer pong and was enjoying herself. baffled me that some people would be so alone in a social setting, and would not put themselves out (display human curiosity) that talking to humans is far less interesting than watching pong!
