I spent the day Saturday helping adam move. I love his new place. I look forward to going to the housewarming party.

Today I mailed a check for $1805 which pays off the balance of my 2nd school loan. Only one left…This sticking to a budget thing is really working for me. [...]

I Just saw The Passion of the Christ. Very humbling. Forget the controversy. If you aren’t a Christian, suspend your incredulity for a moment and take one thing from this film, in which people of all faiths should see wisdom: “love your enemies“.

Many people don’t realize that St. Louis has the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the country. Things got a little bit out of hand, but most of what I saw was harmless fun. I was fortunate enough to be invited to a house party in a second story flat overlooking Russell street, [...]

Stayed home last night, watched the rest of B5: season 4, read for a while, and considered ways to integrate Adam’s Dateparse with Evolution. Now I feel rested and ready to head down to Soulard for some Mardi Gras festivities.

I think these sorts of movies and books are going to drive me to become an amateur historian/researcher. [...]

I went to an Anti-Valentine’s Day party Saturday night with a bunch of other people who have no significant other. Never underestimate the power of 50 drunk, jaded singles. We were a force to be reckoned with. Or something.

Dan and I rock.

Stephanie and I, still sober.

I spent too much money [...]

Friday night I met up with some friends at McGurk’s. Good Irish music, good ale, good company. Ended up at Syberg’s later in the evening for some karaoke.
I got barely enough sleep for the poker tournament on Saturday. It was a friendly tournament: only $20 to enter and I knew [...]

Went out with Rebecca to 33, a wine bar in St. Louis. I think she had a glass and I was forced to consume the remainder of the bottle of Chardonnay. It wasn’t bad, but I should have gone with a red wine. I was in the mood for something dark [...]

We had the book discussion on Darwin’s Ghost last night. Troy made a fine chili. Not bad for someone who claims he can’t cook. After the discussion I played around with Orkut. Yes, finally I’m one of the cool kids. It is somewhat addictive. After expanding my Orkut network [...]
