Saturday night, I trekked out to Asssumption College to see Ben Folds with Kevin and Jeff. Since I was all slow about getting into Ben Folds and I didn't get to see him when he played at WPI a few years back, this was my first time seeing him live. I really gotta say, there's nothing like a gym full of students at a Catholic college singing along ( Read more... )

I took Friday off work to prep for skiing till the wee hours. Not quite as wee as last year, since driving home at 6am after 8 hours of work and 8 hours of skiing was a terrible idea, but I wanted to be well-rested for the night.

I slept in a little bit, lounged around, then met up with Kevin, Scott and Anthony for lunch at NMS. It was a little ( Read more... )

This weekend was seriously kick-ass. Getting dumped back into the workweek is not so kick-ass. Actually, it's kicking my ass.

I'll be updating with separate entries pertaining to separate weekend events.

"For every weekend, there is an equal and opposite Monday." -me, 5 minutes ago

January 6, 2007. A lovely Saturday. Whatever shall I do? Well, I could go outside in the crisp winter air, walk around, see my breath while breathing, maybe go skiing on the powder-covered slopes of Wachusett. The cold winter air just makes me feel so alive. Alas, this seems unlikely to happen. Instead, I shall wear short sleeves and wander around ( Read more... )

... but I think I'll miss this one this year ( Read more... )

... but, oh well, it’s obvious I’m white and nerdy

The new Weird Al album (heh, Weird Al-bum) is pretty good. I need to listen to it more (left it at home today, damn), but White and Nerdy is seriously the WPI theme song... even more so than All about the Pentiums. Love it. There's some good stuff on there, including a Cake-musical-style song... ( Read more... )

Social craziness? Finally friggin' winding down. Thank goodness. Still trying to get people to understand that if I have a block of unplanned time in the next week or 2, I'm not committing to doing anything. I have way too much stuff to catch up on, including retaining my own sanity. Of course, dear journal readers, you all know this. I just need ( Read more... )

You know, I could get used to this 4-day workweek thing. It's really the perfect length! Of course, convincing my superiors of this fact doesn't seem like it would work. This is why instead, I am letting my fingers take a break from mundane SQL statements and suchlike and letting them wander over LJ-land ( Read more... )

It's almost 5pm. I get to leave work at 5:30. It's hot in here, and I'm bored outta my mind. This weekend will be sweet - Foxwoods with the boy, yippee! Turns out half my coworkers are going up there tonight too, which is wicked cool, they'll all get to meet Jeff ( Read more... )

So, Mark came down Friday night after he got out of work, and arrived in Hicksville (where I work, and where there's a much more high-quality train station than Huntington's) around 6pm. We went to my bank so I could transfer money, then onto the train into NYC. He showed me his spiffy new cell phone on the way in, and we had some fun adventures on ( Read more... )
