So, I haven't had a proper update in quite a while, but I chalk it up to the fact that every year or so, I go through this period of "what's the point in updating?" I may come up with a topic or two here and there that I want to write about, but by the time I get myself in front of a computer and start considering what I want to compose, it's all seems like unnecessary work. Nonetheless, I check the site regularly, and I do enjoy updating my journal style rather frequently. (By the way, if you haven't noticed, I put up a new layout a few days ago... ::pats self on back for HTML code/photo manipulation competence.)

Life is relatively good as of late. I do stress that word "relative," the semester is starting off with a great deal of promise compared to my largely stagnant and transitory fall semester. Going home and then coming back here, it didn't take much at all to readjust to the city and I find myself quickly becoming more proficient, identifying the cogs that make up the larger wheel. I've been pleasantly surprised how much (aside from my first week back) I've been able to get out since I've been back. Hit up ESPNzone, Nintendo World, a couple bars, and Madison Square Garden all in the past couple of weeks. Thanks to Steve and the good people at the German American Chamber of Commerce for the latter, hooking me up with a free ticket to a NY Rangers game this past Tuesday. They lost, and to be blunt, they pretty much looked like shit (although I've been pampered for quite some time on the Red Wings' absolute dominance), but it was still a lot of fun. Mmm... overpriced beer-battered onion rings and mismatched souvenir cups. As promised, pics:







I've also been taking advantage of my membership to the Museum of the Moving Image, spending quite a lot of time with their interactive video game exhibit (NBA Jam or Mortal Kombat, anyone?) and watching their weekly film screenings. Saw Brazil again for the first time last week and I'm going to see Once Upon a Time in the West as soon as I finish up this entry.

Things are getting pretty serious with Michelle... an amazing development considering our positions. I don't know what's going to happen there in the long run, but I have faith things will work out how they are supposed to. I could say more, but this isn't really the place.

Believe it or not, I only started school yesterday, but things are looking promising there as well. I'll know more after next Tuesday when I start my other two classes.

< /train of thought> Off to the museum/movies. Good day, y'all.
