Ahhh....February in The ROC. That means it's time for our school's annual Blackjack Ball...aka "B-School Prom"! Formal attire, cocktail dresses, faux-gambling, and a DJ!!! WOOHOOOO.....not just good times....GREAT times!!!
This year the bash was held at a local art gallery, which I found out was once actually part of the UR Student Union (random, but interesting). This year, they charged $25 for "non-drinking" tickets and $40 for UNLIMITED drinks (?!?!!!). $15 for unlimited drinks?!?! Shoot, that's a layup.....I think most of us drank $15 worth in our first 5 minutes there!!! .....No? It was just me??!?! ok, mi malo....Needless to say....there were a lot of people having a good time in expensive clothing.
As for "Bob", from last year's hilarity and hi-jinx (see last year's BJB entry ), he was comparatively sober. No real drama to report on for the most part, which is not to say we were mellow. I'm mostly thankful that there was no aftermath to deal with as there was last year. All in all, a great time was had and we got to see some people that don't normally come out. Fake gambling was exactly what it always is....a tease . Pictures should be up on my Flickr feed soon.
What else is new? Hmmmm...the job hunt continues and classes are keeping me busy. I'm DYING to play some golf right now (what else is new?). It's Wed and I'm in an effin' strogging class (def str-og: to bore, the state of mind where you are ready to push a pencil through your eardum to try to puncture the active parts of your brain). Time to go to Wed Night Karaoke at OTR!!! Yeah, OTR is really the place to be on Wed nights as I've referenced on previous nights. You can also read about OTR here at my buddy Jason "the Tuscaloosa Kid" G's site. Big props to J for accurately capturing the magic of "KY6", the "Heinnikin, Hennisssy Man", and the sweet songs of the ALHP ("Angry Lesbian Hockey Players").
Random NBA note: It's nearing the NBA trade deadline and Isaiah Thomas continues to wreak havoc on the NBA's most wretched franchise. To quote a friend "the Knicks now have a payroll larger than Microsoft" and 7 guys that need to shoot the ball 40 times a game to be happy. Good work building on your legacy!
Song of the moment: ANYTHING G'n'R sung by the ALHP's
Food of the moment: Sha Cha beef at Cantonese House.
** warning: in 3 weeks, I will know how to make Peking Duck!!**
Anyhow, that's all for now. Hope all's well on your end of the internet.
Chow,
