not going to bioinformatics for a week because of interviews means i have no idea what's going on, and, therefore, that i am bored. i might drop this class as well, because i really don't feel like doing shit this semester. hence my writing now.

winter gala was saturday night, fueled by some large swigs of hypnotic, a couple wine glasses and a lemon drop. i was actually able to dance without feeling too ridiculous, thanks to some much-needed impromptu instructions. too bad fucking security shut down the bar at 1. they said there was nothing left, but, in plain site on the floor were several unopened cases of shitty, shitty wine. then they stopped the music and turned the lights on at 1:30, to make sure people would be out of low by 2. after some balloon gathering and pushing through a raging melee to get to the coat rack, judith, eunji rick and i went to casbah where we smoked some hookah and had some damn good algerian wine, at a reduced price because the waiter was french. heheheh. good times.
winter league was cold, and awesome. paul jawlik was there, nice to see him. gabi took a ruggles '05 picture which is apparently the cutest picture ever. we ended up playing savage for the last game and still won. booyah.
superbowl at ben's was lots of fun. we had plenty of beer and even more food; i definitely consumed too much of both substances. it was good to see everyone together. yesterday in east asian civ the professor framed the superbowl in daoist terms, as follows. in the weeks leading up to the superbowl, there is so much hype and discussion about it, and the game rarely lives up to its hype. this leads people to be disappointed with the game. a daoist would ask, who's fault is that? the players are only human, one can't fault them for playing just well enough to win. daoist criticism of sports commentary notwithstanding, i thought the game was fairly exciting. a couple big plays, some intense drives, nothing entirely spectacular but certainly more entertaining than the conference championships.
so yeah, an awesome weekend from start to finish. and i'm making money again. yay. thank god for postbacs and parents with crazy high expectations.
