Weekend was slow, but productive. Mostly spent time relaxing after a busy week, unpacking and organizing my bedroom (I can see the floor again!), and fighting ninjas.
Forgot to mention my St. Patrick's night last Thursday. I was over at a co-worker's apartment for his usual weekly Apprentice viewing night, which is much more about frat party drinking games than it is watching Trump. He and his roommates have graduated, but they're still holding on to weekly keg parties like they're going out of style -- except now that everyone's working, the beer is free and few people stay out too late.
Anyway, it's still all absolutely new to me, coming from a boring Canadian university not exactly known for its party life. We played flipcup, which is similar to a boat race, except after downing your cup you have to flip the cup perfectly on the end of a table before the next person on your team gets to drink.
(If you don't know what a boat race is, it's sort of like alcohol abuse, only without the dignity.)
The next day at work was interesting. Not too many people ordered solid foods from the cafeteria that day.

I can't even imagine you chugging a beer let alone flipping the cup with finesse after finishing it. Who is this new Brian? Colleen and I partied by having a couple of beers while watching a movie. Not much excitement there, but what do expect from a couple of boring and meek Canadian students. ;-)

This is the new frat-Brian, exposed to party culture for the first time but devoid of any natural defences to its (excessively loud and belligerent) siren's song.
Okay, maybe I only filled my cup a third of the way.
I saw your grad ball pics on Alex's website...some good shots of you and Colleen there! I'm jealous of your photogeneti...cey.
