Dinner at Mike and Dave's
Category: family
Saturday has the obligatory farmers market pictures - all these jona gold apples for $8, onions and cabbage heads for $2 each, and a huge delicious bag of sweet winter carrots for $4.

Later we headed over to a family dinner at (e:mike) and (e:libertad)'s with (e:paul)'s family including (e:czarkasm). Somehow I only got a picture of the food but it was a good time. Everyone took a shot at (e:libertad)'s wooden "nose in the hole" game.

B-Robb the Juggler
Category: old
Last Wednesday my old fraternity brother Brian passed through town on his was to a juggling convention in Quebec. Originally he and his friends were supposed to stay here but it turned into just a pit stop - so I zoomed on my bike over to see him at the mythical Wegman's liquor store.

He started juggling vodka bottles while balancing a wine bottle on his nose. I was so suprised I didn't even take a picture and I'm pretty sure the workers were about to need a change of pants.

I don't think I really have talked to him since school almost three years ago (or really anyone else for that matter). In a sense it's kind of shitty that we could connect and don't, but I agree with Paul when he says it's nice to catch up with someone and not already know everything they've been up to.

He's applying to ChemE PhD programs in Switzerland. Lucky!

Hundchen the wargon
Category: nerd
(e:terry) got me the trial of World of Warcraft, so I've been nerding out playing with him every once in a while. My character's name is Hundchen the wargon, a fierce fuzzball who looks pretty sweet flying on this bird.
image
He's level 21 which is pretty weak ass as far as I understand.

I don't like reading the quests or running around. I'd rather be running outside in the snow. But I played with him and (e:flacidness) tonight doing a dungeon and a battleground and had some fun.

I really think it would be better if they took a Sims/pet simulator approach and let you do a lot more with your pets, had a house etc. I guess then it would be second life - but for me, the cuter the better.

The bad part is the whole time I feel bad I'm not programming.

Carcassonne
Category: games
I gave in and played a game with (e:terry), (e:flacidness) and (e:yesthatcasey). It was Carcassonne and it was decent.

Sameer's last day
Category: work
It was Sameer's last day at Roswell before he leaves for private-sectory corporate life. Congrats on the better job!

I had my first car bomb, it was gross. I sent (e:uchina) some crunk chats.

I have a few other pictures but I didn't post them.
