Report!

Beer. Lots of beer. Go to Herkimer for the Tooler’s Weiss.

Nick’s birthday was on Tuesday. Now we’re all 21. Here’s a photo essay of the evening…

The weather got naaaaasty today. I [...]

back in the habit

I am spending yet another commencement Saturday cloistered in the computer lab. This is the third year in a row that I’ve worked through graduation. I’d be totally down with it if it weren’t so gorgeous outside. I’m spending eight hours of the first nice day in a week inside… lame.
Hannah just came to keep [...]

It certainly doesn’t feel like summer…

For better or for worse my semester is over. I’m certain that my performance will leave much to be desired, but it’s too late to worry about it now.
