People,

I'm back at work after a week of enforced (and much appreciated) "we're MIT and we have no money anymore so we have to shut down for two weeks" vacation.

What did I do with my time?

- FXA played our best New Year's show ever, coupled with our best dance party ever, at the Lizard. Thanks to everyone who came out. I think it was our most fun show of the year or, as a four year old might say, our funnest.

- I slept. A lot.

- Ladyfriend Sarah and I went to Foxwoods with my mom and dad. We both lost a lot of money and got a touch of food poisoning from a salad we shared. Despite all this, it was still pretty fun.

- Pete and I played a LOT of online poker.

- I learned I suck at online poker.

- I think I've moved from a drinking to a gambling problem.

- I thought seriously about someday owning a dog.

Other than that I can't say I did much because, as you all know, I'm ridiculously boring. But I'm rested and ready to bring the funny in the 2004. Happy new year.
