Wow. It's been a while and a half, huh? Ok, for the news updates:

The commencement speaker at my brother's graduation ceremony this June is June Anthony Kennedy!!!!!!!!!!

I am seriously spectacularly excited in a uber-geeky way!

The motivation to post is just not there. What I have to say, for the most part, is terribly repetitive.

Hi all, I'm going to be in india for the next 10 days. Posting will be either nil or very spotty till the 23rd. See you when I'm back.

It's been ages since I posted anything substantial. A few things have been getting in the way of that - nothing of substance has really happened. That said, here are a few things worth mentioning ( Read more... )
