Gary’s shared linksLast night, Mishri and I found ourselves wandering through Georgetown when who should appear but Marc. Apparently DC is a really good place to randomly run into people. I hadn’t seen Marc since he stayed at the Hotel Garyfornia in August, but I knew that he had moved into the area, so it wasn’t really [...]

The Prime Minister of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was just here for a press conference. I went for fun; I’m geeky enough to like that kind of stuff. I also thought it would be a good experience.While sitting there, I actually came up with (what I thought was) a pretty decent question that [...]

So, the nation’s oldest and largest student-run TV station has been disbanded by the chancellor of Syracuse University (without the hearing guaranteed to it by the Student handbook, I might add) because, apparently, it is genocidal.

What a relaxing weekend. I don’t remember the last time that I slept that well. Friday I went out to eat. Saturday, I went to the DC United game, where I thought I saw someone from my Habitat trip. I wasn’t able to catch her, but an email later proved that it was indeed who [...]

So, I will forever be able to tell people that I actually paid money to see an October game between Washington and Columbus. Yes, against my better judgement, I went. I said to myself that I would go if I could get a $10 ticket, but I wouldn’t pay for the $22 seat, because I [...]

After several months with not a single blog update, it’s tough to get back into the habit of posting again. I’m going to try, though. And in terms of trying, there will be lots of trying today. I’m going to try to use this as a way back into the habit of posting on my [...]
