Happy New Years
So it’s a new year, 2004. Happy that.
I think each year people realize moreso that the new year is pretty arbitrary. I actually didn’t have to stifle any excitement as the ball started dropping. Maybe I would if the ball dropped at 9.8 meters per second squared.
The night on the whole was good. It began with someone making a big trip and gifting me a very nice gift:
I was then gifted even more gifts, and a card, and reprimanded for not getting my pictures developed so I could talk about them while wearing the above-pictured gift.
As the evening progressed, we discovered that Fernando’s was closed on New Years Eve, that Sun Sing (Chinese Eatery) was not, and that a divided house could not stand. Indeed, Armonk was host to several divisive parties, which meant that everyone could not chill together.
I think that these are highlights. Images will open in a new window, just leave the window open above the page for easy browsing. ( Pix taken from Ethan’s Index and Lance’s Index)
- Ethan was found wedged into Jeremy’s Christmas wreath
- Kroll imitated what he saw on TV
- And proceeded to attack me and the gift-giver
- And probably thought he was getting some hot tongue action with me too, not realizing that my head was turned away (Hott Closeup)
- Everyone got a little something
- Ethan’s Brandeis companions declared victory
- I got seriously messed up
- Where did Bregman and Izzy go? I couldn’t find them. Neither could Kroll, but he looked hard.
- The picture taker was distracted from his subject matter
- But not when the subject matter changed (Further Evidence)
- Keane showed up late
- But just in time to see Kroll get his groove on
- We tried to forget some things, but couldn’t. The blurring is not enough.
