Russell Crowe... Jan 7, 2002

…was very good in A Beautiful Mind, which I saw today. My dad didn't want to drive to work because of the snow, and he had nothing to do, and so did I, so he said, "hey, wanna go see a movie?"

So we went. I wasn't sure what to expect out of the...

Guess who I am? I'm a STEEL MONKEY!!! Jan 7, 2002

I've had a Tull song stuck in my head ALL FUCKING MORNING. And not even a very good one at that.

My descent into geek world Jan 5, 2002

Not that I wasn't already an uber-geek, mind you. But last night I signed up for my first LARP ever.

LARPs are something I'd been dimly aware of before coming to Brandeis, but I'd never actually known anyone who was involved with one before. LARP...

Wow. Jan 5, 2002

I think the Eagles said it best - you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

Well, tonight I went to work for my old employer (who shall remain nameless, but you probably know who I'm talking about). It was exactly like old times...

A night with the NHS Jan 4, 2002

Last night my friend Cory and I decided to go to NHS night. Hastings High School students and alumni will understand this immediately and can skip the next paragraph :)

For those who have not been to Hastings High School, NHS nights are free tutoring...

Book and game Jan 3, 2002

Many other people (my friend David, for example), seem to keep LiveJournal entries of things they read/play/listen to/etc., so I figured, why should I be the exception? :)

So. Yesterday I started Vernor Vinge's novel A Fire Upon The Deep, on the...

Grades Jan 2, 2002

So I just managed to check my grades. Brandeis' web registration is typically impossible to get into ("The Information System Is Not Available At This Time. Please Try Again Later", capitalization theirs), but I thought I'd give it a shot. It worked...

Dentist Jan 2, 2002

Well, the dentist appointment was actually not too bad.

Evil Jan 1, 2002

Evil! Evil! Evil! And did I mention evil?

For some reason, the Friends of Buck's Rock web site (www.friendsofbucksrock.org) has turned against me. This is a problem, considering I am the primary web developer for said site.

Yeah, yeah, I know...

Happy new year Jan 1, 2002

Well, I got myself a LiveJournal. I have no idea why anyone would want to scrutinize my every move, but hey, works for me.

Spent the day up in Connecticut, visiting relatives. New Years' Day also happens to be my grandmother's birthday, so we went...
