My first semester of graduate school - and thus my first semester of any kind of school since spring '05 - is over. It went well I have to say. I met a number of cool new peeps, learned/re-established some things in my finance class, and feel pretty good about what my final grades will be (they haven't been posted yet). A victory. There were some ( Read more... )

And so goes another month in a very busy life with no posting. Worth noting that the last month did indeed include many awesome things, not the least of which include a trip out to Princeton/Centralia with Ilya, 2 weddings with Ilana, and the ADC art auction coming up for this Saturday ( Read more... )

It has been a busy couple of months. Obviously the journal has fallen by the wayside, and it will most likely continue to do so. Still... I don't want to pronounce it dead just yet. Anyways, to summarize ( Read more... )

Now that was a show. Exactly what I needed.

I'm not going to spend too much verbiage on trying to explain it, but it had the exact right therapeutic levels of alcohol, yelling, and cool people to hang out with after the show (also batman references). And the nice thing about Albany is that if a show does come to downtown, you can usually walk to it ( Read more... )

Even with the Knicks signing of Amare Stoudemire, I don't think NY is the most likely destination for LeBron. And I don't really see Miami having the money now to go with Wade and Bosh. My prediction on this remains the same as it was 2 months ago, and I'm still going (in order of most likely) with ( Read more... )

As you may have noticed, my posting on this journal has been declining steadily. This is due to a number of factors, but I think the main one is maturity (or at least something related to it). As I get older, I realize that my daily musings aren't particularly unique or interesting, nor for the most part are the everyday occurrences of my life. I ( Read more... )

One thing (among many things) that I love about Werner Herzog is how prolific he is. Just off the top of my head I can think of a dozen films that he has directed or had a major hand in, and a few more that he has appeared in as well. This is a trait that I wish more artists/directors/musicians would share. Rather than treat each work like some ( Read more... )

So last winter I got a bug up my ass and I decided that I needed to go on A BIG TRIP. And I did! This winter I had a similar bug/ass situation, however this was in regards to grad school, and was at least in part inspired by the massive, massive incompetence displayed by our State government officials.

You see I am still young, and I still retain a ( Read more... )

I am back with you. A lot and not much has happened since I last wrote in this guy. It has really been more the case that some inchoate ideas have solidified ( Read more... )

Alright folks, I'm back from the budget vortex. In summary form:

- I am seriously considering applying to Grad School. It's something I've flirted with in the past, but this is the first time it feels like a logical, true next step for me. Something that I'm ready for, much more than as someone just out of undergrad. I'm looking at either Health ( Read more... )
