Tonight I went to my sister's to watch a couple espisodes of Dallas on DVD. When I came home and mentioned it to my mom, she started talking about how she and my dad used to watch it all the time, and how my dad refused to go out on nights when it was on. I'm going to borrow it from my sis and watch it with my mom later this week ( Read more... )

I'm pretty much done with finals. Just a five pager for my man J.Z.S. tomorrow, but judging by the fact that he said we don't need a thesis and can format it like a Dear John letter, I'm guessing he's taking it even less seriously than I am ( Read more... )

F.A.O. Schwarz is reopening: Signature gift cards are available in amounts of $50,000 and $100,000. The $50,000 model comes with a Vespa, compliments of the store; the $100,000 with a customized Vespa.

All right, the last thing we need right now is another livejournal entry about the election, so I'll try to stay away from that topic. Let's just say that Anna, Johanna, Robert "Benji" Martin, and I were relatively depressed today and decided the best tonic would be skipping class and going up to the North Side ( Read more... )

My birthday went really well, and advanced my dream of becoming the guy in the J Crew catalog. Now I just need an old European convertible so that I can drive to a scenic location and have some of my Glenlivet ( Read more... )

I'd been planning on updating my livejournal for quite some time. I wanted to write about everything that happened this summer, but as time passes, more things happen, and it becomes less and less likely that I'll ever get around to writing that entry. So, briefly: I hung out a lot with Shane and Johanna; I spent a lot of time on my balcony, ( Read more... )
