It has been nearly two months since my last update. I feel as if I've gone through a tumult of emotions since then, and have been fortunate to have many rich experiences.

-Played a MC+ at Brandeis, where we got slaughtered, despite having 2 B's (Peter Bos, Matt Sad, Max W, Kevin R, Chris S ,and me)

-Went to NOLA and pulled my hamstring. Still ( Read more... )

What a blur - and with that, summer has come to a close and my little sister is married. The food was overwhelming, the ceremony beautiful, and it was good to see everyone. I received a few compliments on my speech, though I was trying to really rush through because I felt bad about how much longer it was than Kim's family's. My sister was gorgeous ( Read more... )

I can’t believe our trip is already half over! Here’s how it went down so far:

We flew out late on Friday, and finished Matrix Revolutions on the plane. We stayed at the Hotel Carlton in Tenderloin, which was nice, but had very thin walls. Tenderloin district itself was NOT nice as we came to discover in the morning, as it is very ( Read more... )

Things have slowed down a bit (and also not so much). But here I am, taking some time on a Sunday evening to decompress at a coffee shop. I spent much of today packing and moving our apartment, in anticipation of the larger move next Saturday. I brought 3 cars full of boxes over to the new place, which I’m getting more and more ( Read more... )

Wow, that's weird. Last update was 3 months ago, and since then...I've gotten married!

What else has happened:

I found my wallet since I posted last - I had left it at Club Cafe.

I went to Kristina's bachelorette party in Jersey City. Was a feast, and I was the only guy. She was disappointed in her stripper, Twinky Boots, and I got sick upon my ( Read more... )

Less than 3 months out. I've been not scheduling anything on weekends to try to address random crap. What have I done since January?

I went to Puerto Rico for my first BB tournament. It was actually a lot of fun, and John John's family treated us like kings. We went 1-7 in pool play, and won 1 set on Sunday, but ended up BBQing and spending the ( Read more... )

Swirling around in my head, I suppose since reading Killing Commendatore, have been thoughts about ideas. I found myself racing forward in the novel trying to learn more about this elusive character - a metaphysical Idea, with no agency, but profound insight.

So many half-ideas about ideas. And half-questions, never enough time to flesh any one out ( Read more... )

Staying Friday and Saturday nights with Ditty and Nikita at their relatives' wonderful large shorehouse to celebrate the former's birthday. We managed to receive our wedding invitations and purchase wedding suits. I also reached out to a photographer and another baker.

Yesterday I got an injection to treat something. Was a bit concerned and ( Read more... )

Sure enough, it has been 1/4 of a year since my last update. A lot has happened since then, but also not a lot.

In November, we went to Indiana to have Thanksgiving with Mark's family. Overall, it was a rather smooth trip. We spent the first day in Chicago hanging out with Tomich, who took us around for good food and drink. We went to a Christmas ( Read more... )

10/3/18 1:07AM (MST?) I'm somewhere over Montana now, on my way from Seattle to NYC. Time with Daphne was a blur, partially because I was so deprived of sleep and jetlagged. But we had quite a fun time together. On Sunday, we went to the Vital Tea tea place in Chinatown to restock on Milk Oolong. I remember pausing during the first morning to revel ( Read more... )
