Well, I successfully got over the respiratory version of the flu.  I was struck with that the week before last and was bedridden for several days.  It’s so nice to be able to run again.  Last night we had the 2nd annual fort party at our apartment.  The fort was slightly larger than last year’s…

Hmm, lets see.  The past weekend was pretty good.  AD marathon on Friday and then on Saturday, Tara and I went ice skating on the pond near our apartments.  It was pretty fun.  That evening was trekking up to Fremont and watching the strangest thriller movie ever called Invasion.  It was interesting…  I’ve got lots…

Here’s the poem you assigned, Jake. The Beam He’s perched up on a beamwith his clothes discardedand no where to hide. And all the whileclean-cut menpark their SUVs beneath himand throw up broken bottles of hateand smooth polished crosseswhile mothers shieldtheir children’s eyes. Yet he stands talland bleeds pure confidence.

Well, last week we ventured out to Breckenridge for some snowboarding fun.  It was pretty incredible.  It snowed just about every day we were out there, so there was always fresh powder.  Tara and Bridget learned to ski for the first time and both did pretty decent.  They graduated from the greens by the beginning…

Does anyone else feel like Christmas didn’t actually happen.  Maybe it’s because I avoided most of the Christmas music, or because my family didn’t go anywhere, but it never actually felt like Christmas.  Everything was good–gifts were exchanged, a meal was consumed, but it didn’t really feel all that Christmassy.  Oh well, it was still…

Damn you, Midlanders.  Already done for the year.  That’s okay, I guess.  I can laugh at you when I’m still on break in January.  Doesn’t help me now though.  I saw August Rush on friday.  It was incredibly corny, but actually quite good.  The movie I’m really looking forward to, though, is Juno.  With Micheal…

Fun weekend, overall.  On Friday, we had a Beta Sig Christmas party.  There was little emphasis on the Christmas factor, though, as the party consisted of hanging out listening to the end of the Husker volleyball game on the radio and then watching Superbad, which I have now seen 3 times.  The DVD version is…

I just saw A Hard Day’s Night by the Beatles this past Friday.  It’s a quality film.  British humor at its finest, or at it’s extreme, at least.  It’s interesting to think that it’s quite probably that no band will ever again achieve what the Beatles did…ever.  They are absolutely one of a kind.  It’s…

You know you’re an engineering student if you come back from a break feeling like you need a break.  I guess that’s true of more than just engineers, but it’s certainly true for me.  Oh well, these three weeks will be over before I know it.  I just wish they were over now.  Thanksgiving break…

I know everyone on here likes to talk about their current surroundings in their post, but seriously, beat this one: I’m sitting at home in my robe listening to The White Album on vinyl and watching the snow fall.  Also, I’m getting ready to program a microcontroller.  Okay, so the last part would only apply…
