The Official Soxfest Thread
I got back a couple hours ago. I had fun. But the autograph lines winding all over the place on the lower level was pretty frustrating. And unfortunately for me, I kept have encounters with cranky people. I didn't make it into the opening ceremony either, but I didn't get there too early because of work, so I'm not going to complain. I spent most of my time in the seminar room though and I enjoyed that. It was a good weekend. And hopefully next year at the Palmer House, there will be more room for everything.

Yet another cute map website
I went to check out this site and I decided to look at DC to see what they had from GW. So I looked at the pictures from in front of my dorm and the next thing I knew I'm looking at a picture of the dorm with my roommate and I walking in front of it. I was shocked! Here's a copy of the picture. I'm the one in blue. My roomie is in front of me.

The Official Soxfest Thread
I'll be there all three days for the second year in a row. I'm thinking we'll probably be in the seminar room more this year since we pretty much got all the autographs we wanted last year. If I recognize any of y'all, I'll try and come up and say hi. And if you recognize me, feel free to say hi.

New State Laws for 2006
DC has a city income tax. When at school, I worked on campus and had to fill out a DC tax form.

Weather WTF
Want to know what's weird? The fact that a year ago the exact same thing happened. On January 1, 2005, it t-stormed. I remember because my area lost power.

RIP John Spencer aka Leo McGarry, Chief of Staff
So sad. I just loved him as an actor. And he was one of my favorite characters on the West Wing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

First final is in 2 hours and I'm currently at the "I don't care anymore, just give me the test" stage.

Finals Week
Right, so haven't started finals yet. Have my first one tomorrow for Persuasion. It's the final from hell btw, 3 hours long because my prof is a dick and a half. Then I have one Thursday morning - Social Psychology. Last one is US Diplomatic History on Monday night. Then I will be spending the rest of the night getting drunk and celebrating the end of finals and the end of my time as an undergrad at GWU.

Plane Slides off Runway at Midway Airport
Scary stuff. So sad about the little boy. I first heard about this when I was watching TV tonight with my friends. Since I heard about it, I've been thinking about how I'll be landing at Midway in about 11 days. Although, usually, the landing doesn't freak me out. Of course, I'm on at least 7 roundtrips in and out of Midway a year, so I'm used to it. Actually, landing at National Airport freaks me out more since until right before the wheels hit the ground the only thing below the plane is the Potomac.

How long did it take you to get home today?
It just started snowing in DC a little bit ago. Big fluffy flakes, that are falling fast. Even though, it snows every year, DC folks still act like the sky is falling. I'm guessing all hell will break loose tomorrow morning...oh fun.

Foods you can't stomach
QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 02:55 AM) I pretty much won't eat rice anymore. About 6 years ago I was in China for 5 weeks and pretty much lived on the stuff, except it was sticky and just didn't taste good at all. Not cool. See that's why I can never go to China. I would probably starve.

Favorite TV shows
CSI, CSI:NY, CSI:Miami, Without a Trace, Lost, & West Wing (although since Sorkin left it's been pretty crappy...especially this year)

Harry Potter
QUOTE(Reddy @ Nov 20, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) childish my ass. up till 4 i guess you could say that. but 5 and 6 are downright dark and i dont know HOW they'll be rated lower than R in theatres. Lots of death and destruction and they're clever and funny as well. not kids stories AT ALL. Agreed. Rowling has said numerous times that she didn't intend the books to be kids' books, and the last couple books have shown that. As for the movie, I just saw it. I really liked it. I went in knowing a lot was cut out, so it didn't really bother me. Definitely one of the best movies. And I thought the ending was great. A lot like I pictured it when I read it.
- Happy Birthday Queen Prawn!
