So, how about I throw EVERYONE off, and post a little bit on my blog? Yeah, that's right! I'm posting! It's only been... oh... 4 months or so. Well, everything's slowing down here. I have one more final. And it's a paper for Poli Sci due tomorrow. (Read: I have no more work to do). What a great semester. Great people, good times, good food (well, sort of), (some) good professors, (some) good grades, and a lot of fun.

I have a 6:15 train tomorrow night to Old Saybrook, CT. My Aunt Ellen is picking me up, and I'm spending the night with my parents at her house because Saturday morning we're going to Boston for my cousin Nathan's Bar Mitzvah. Exciting times. Holy Shit. I need to pack. But that's not going to happen. Downstairs Phil told me about some party going on tonight that they're calling XXX-mas... a most promising name.

Everyone's leaving or gone. John and Alex both left this morning, and Alex, it's looking like, will not be coming back. Assuming he gets the transfer to U Miami, he'll be there next semester, and that sucks. Upstairs Phil left, as did my roomate, Chris (except he left this past Sunday). Fortunately, Will, Nate, and downstairs Phil are still around. This whole past week is sort of a blur. I didn't really do very much after Monday, except read this book for PS11. It's called "The Curious Enlightenment of Professor Caritat," and it was an entertaining, although not that well written, book in the spirit of "Gulliver's Travels."

I guess I'll have to see "The Return of the King" this weekend when I get home because I never got a chance to go this week, so if anyone wants to see it with this weekend, give me a ring. I spent my nights watching bad horror movies. Monday, I watched "Dead Alive," Peter Jackson's second movie, which was really, really, really gorey and funny. Tuesday I watched both Evil Dead I and II. II is much better than I. Last night, of course, I watched Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness. Sooooo good.

Anyway, I guess I'll write again? Wow. In an egotistic, bordering  sadistic, way, this felt really, really good.
