last post of the year

Instead of packing I went to get sushi for lunch at Ninja with Lauren then flew home. (I travel light.) Back here I've gone out to eat a lot, done last-minute gift shopping at malls and been unsuccessful, watched Casino Royale a second time with my mom, saw The X-Men Trilogy again with Adrian but out of order, been searching for that Wii thing, and gone to a few Christmas parties.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

'06 was pretty much The Best Year Ever...
Let's close it with the killers' new single.

All good things...

...must come to an end. This time the good thing is fall semester '06.

I went to dinner at Babylon with Shannon, Jenna, and some of her friends. I'm going to miss Jenna. (What kind of silly Jacque girl graduates early and moves away with her boyfriend???) We reminisced on some fun memories partially obscured by alcohol, and both got the baked eggplant sandwich. Delicious.

After saying "seeya at Mardi Gras" to Jenna, I came home and chilled until Lauren and I went out to Uptown Cajun because she'd never been and we wanted to take advantage of the pitcher special.Well, they were really busy and out of pitchers, so we went to both Bruno's bars and then came back to split a pitcher of whiskey and soda. Greg was bartending, which was a pleasant surprise. Some friends met up with us and we sang (and sometimes clapped) along to the excellent playlist Uptown Cajun had.

At one point Josh said that whenever he sees tampon commercials, he thinks of home.

(He's from Tampa, which makes him a Tampan I suppose.)

After that, Lauren and he spent about an hour and the entire walk home arguing about Florida.

Good times.
