Keith Emerson (the "E" in "ELP") is playing in Arlington on my 21st birthday this year. I am completely torn on what to do. I think in a way it's destiny. Unfortunately tickets cost something to the tune of $75-100, so I can't exactly bring a big group of bros with me like we did for Styx/Foreigner/Def Leppard and Rush ( Read more... )

1. Best Christmas dinner I've ever had
2. Received many very expensive handmade sweaters from Norway
3. And a two-tiered keyboard stand
4. Oh, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Good times!

Man this finals week is hell on earth. I only have 2 finals that I'm not worried about, but all these term assignments are just awful.
