Another January bites the dust
I (along with many others) despise January, what with the post-Christmas blahs, short days, no prospect of a long weekend till Easter, terrible weather, etc. This one wasn't so bad, I thought, but I'm happy to have winter that much more over with.
The weekend was pretty entertaining. Started out with a happy hour at Arriba's, and then to my cousin's MBA bowling fundraiser. It was BYOB, which made the experience all the more unique. I found that bowling is one of those activities that I do better when I get a little drunk, but quickly goes to shit after that (sorta like pool and speaking French).
After this bowling episode, some of us decided to continue on -- and my karaoke* suggestion was a big hit. After I stated I would not do it, my cousin went up and belted out Roxanne. It was interesting being on the receiving end of such an act. (Good God, this is what I've been doing to people? I'm a monster!) And then a few of the b'ys headed up for Don't Stop Believing by Journey. Quite the spectacle.
Saturday was a little tamer, but my head appreciated the break. A few drinks at my place with a couple of friends -- can't ask for much more, eh?
Sunday was the Superbowl. First, a big thanks to Hanz for providing a few of us with a 50" HDTV to watch the game on. Alas, he was in Curaçao on business. Holy moley, what a game. Or I should say, what a finish. A sour one for the Pats, no doubt, but I guess you gotta respect the grit of the Giants (says this incensed Packers fan as their playoff blood was spilled at the hands of said Giants).
I was going to do a resolution recap now, but this entry is long enough, and I could use a few more days to enact some of these resolutions. And I'm aware of the irony of procrastinating a task of "self-improvement", so don't bother pointing it out.
* I'm fully aware this keeps happening -- but I can't help it, it's just too much goddamn fun!
