This time of year, Becca would start blasting "The Maine Christmas Song" out her window to the first snow so that it could be heard echoing all over the quad. Then she would go out in the snow with whoever was with her and yell the lyrics, even though none but Becca were Mainers--actually, they were from down south and would have preferred to be ( Read more... )

Well, since I have nothing better to do, I might as well tell you about my fabulous weekend. I left work early on Friday--due to no work to do--and took a trip to Henniker to visit the crew at NEC, and also for Pat's birthday. I arrived on campus about an hour and a half earlier than planned so I intended to bust in on the tail end of the NECRA ( Read more... )

So I'm officially a grad-jiate as of last Saturday. Let's have a recap, shall we?

This is the beginning of the rest of my life. Ready or not, here I come.

"You all mentioned some ( Read more... )

Sweet, my tax returns came in. TIME TO BUY STUFF. (Now, if only I were irresponsible enough to blow money for my own satisfaction.)

May I have your attention please. Please yell if you are paying attention.

After some of the NEC Idol hopefuls' practicing sessions I had to endure last night in the Coffee House, I'm almost regretting not signing up as a contestant. Not that I think I'd win--there are some much better voices with more power and better stage presence in the competition--but for the simple fact that I know how to carry a tune without going ( Read more... )

So it looks like I'm going to be pretty busy starting right after Spring Break ( Read more... )
