So, this weekend has been rather... eventful. As mentioned earlier it was HuskyCon so I drove Caroline to her parent's house then Adam and I continued down Long Island to the con. About 5 miles or so away from our destination my brakes started making these grinding sounds. That did not sound like a good thing to me. So I talked with Adam and he ( Read more... )

So this weekend is HuskyCon. For those of you who haven't heard much from me in the past 5 years, Diplomacy is a very fun boardgame where the winning is much more about conversations, conniving and well diplomacy between the players than it is about the simple game mechanics.

For whoever may be effected: I'm gone for the weekend. I'll be down in Nashville for my sister's graduation and should be back Sunday night. Then the job / apartment search will occur in earnest.

Ok Goucherites, ex-Goucherites, and any other people that I know in MD. Here's the game plan. Juicy snaps the ball to Ugly who fakes a hand off to Sarge. Shodeck sings "Finlandia" to distract the other team while Colin crosses far left to receive the ball and run into the end zone. Ready? Break ( Read more... )

Ok, I was pretty sure there was a bunch of stuff I was going to update about here. But I can't really remember any of them right now. To be perfectly frank this is really just a wasting time sort of a post. Umm... I made duck today. I've never tried to cook duck before. It came out beautifully, I highly recommend it.
