Back in Chicago, and about bloody time as well. Its not that I dont love New York/Connecticut, but this is kinda home too. New Years was enjoyable, with Maddy and I going into Brooklyn to hang out with/drink with/view the incredible internal pyrotechnics of Alex Kolber and friends. Luckily, I was reimbursed for my help with many of Kolbers magical ( Read more... )

Wow, its been a while. Against all odds, Jackie talked her mother into letting her come to New York. Needless to say, i'd been excited about it since i got the news. She got in on Friday, and we spent the day chilling out in Connecticut with Jarrett. It was funny watching her try to turn on the lights for the first time, seeing as my house has what ( Read more... )

I went back to high school today. It really gives u a feeling of being rather high and mighty. I could have theoretically done whatever i wanted (such as curse out the Upper School Principal for being a jackass all the time i was there). However, I kept my flaunting of the rules to wearing my hat around the building. Everybody was really happy to ( Read more... )

Ok, welcome to finals week. This does not mean no fun. Wednesday was really the big night. Two of the denizens of suite 101 (Laura Jean and Ming) both had birthdays over break and Wednesday was chosen for the ginat party. The first thing i noticed after walking in was all the food. Bloody hell, i guess Jackie had a load of extra Bartlett dollars ( Read more... )

Well its now week 10 of college and its coming down to the wire. Thanxgiving break started out slowly. Since i had class wednesday and made the mistake of actually going, i ended up with a six hour delay at the airport. Of course this is after the 2 hour vna ride to get there. Yuck. Eventually I did get home (about 3 am) and waited what seemed like ( Read more... )

It's week 8. How cool is that? The past week was actually solid, getting a B on my Hume paper and handing in another one for sosc. A lot of the week was spent dealing with the girls IM football team, who were about to be screwed out of the playoffs. However, after a lot of complaints from Trey (the dude who coaches Broadview) and I, we got put into ( Read more... )

Good Lord, where do i begin? The weekend was fun, with going to see "I Love Huckabees" with Michal and Gloria in the city, then looking futilely for a party with something still going on. This didn't happen. Saturday was spent doing my hume paper and going out to Psi U. I started the night with my grunge rock outfit, then over the course of the ( Read more... )

Its somehow Thursday, and i'm still alive. Its been a pretty good week, mostly because of yesterday. At 730 the Hoover volleyball team went to play their weekly game. There were entire matches where nobody touched the ball aside from John Gabriel (tall red-haired Minnesotan) and Amy (small girl, big serve). We ended up winning 3 games to 2 over ( Read more... )

All right, im coming off a very good weekend right now, among the better weekends of my existence. On Friday I really didnt do too too much, aside from the usual partying. However, the usual partying lasted a little longer than, well, usual. Suffice it to say I got home at aboot 6am in a VERY good mood. The parents got into Chicago at about 730, ( Read more... )
