it's been a while

- the pain and tears were worth it! i got an A on my research paper (50 pg portfolio) and no Cs (as i feared for months - it was a tough quarter)
- went to vegas for nuwan's 21st, stayed at the palm's, tried not to kill alex every so often, saw felix da housecat, and can live without going back for a while
- my laptop's 7 and U keys popped off and my A key sticks
- christmas went by so fast but it felt like preparations took forever
- amy's "yearbook" of photos and the christmas card gary gave me (and daisy black... and the jewelry...) were among my favorite gifts. despite trying not to cry, i still did (and do) every time i read it. coming from a man of few words, it means the world to me.
- i've disappeared from everything social. aside from going out to the occasional UFC party or the prospector or tantalum, all i ever want to do is stay in and watch iron chef, top chef et al., but i'm still restless, which is weird.
- gary's car got broken into, had his wallet (that i gave him two days prior) and gps stolen, and $1200 worth of damages run up on the personal and business cards in less than 10 hrs. and what does he say? "eh... it's done, i'm handling it" while i'm all sorts of a stress case.
- NYE in san diego is in 1.5 days and dj gary is gonna tear the place down!

being practically unemployed sucks but what can you do? worry about it later!

i'm finally 21!

thursday: thanksgiving = hilarious...ly tasty
friday: detroit bar = crazy/drunken/haze
saturday: habana + tentation = mellow + entertaining
sunday: lazy sunday in LB + LAX hollywood = the best day all weekend

details later, maybe.

bottom line:
love family
love friends
love love

edit: and a lil somethin' somethin' alex found on the 'net.
