We got our grades...

Few thoughts... and some browsing links.

People should read this blog. It is written by some legal scholars (actually two gigantic titans of legal scholarship... take my word for it they are qualified for this stuff)

The Celtics made a big trade. You can read about it here. Celticsblog.com is a site that I frequent often, and I advise that you should as well.

Girls in So Cal generally dress like they just woke up from napping in a pile of cigarette butts at the brothel. I hate UGS, I hate the over sized glasses. It is sorority rush week on campus, and some of these undergrads are driving me batty. I'm not even 30 yet, and yet these girls make me want to shake my metal walker at them and flap my dentures about "the state of things, and kids today".

We get grades on Monday.

We went to the zoo with Owen and Eliza. Pics here. These animals definitely live a good life. The monkeys/gorillas/apes as always were my favorite. We got season passes and will be back often.

Things we made over break

• Wonton Soup with Fried Wonton's followed by a course of air dried Five Spice Roasted Duck

• Hot and Sour Soup made with Aga's home made chicken stock

• Baked Trout with Dried Mushrooms with an appertizer of a roasted garlic crostini

But we start classes tomorrow, so back to the Ramen.

New Years Resolutions

Lets keep this simple.

1. Letting things go when I obviously have no control. ie. Worrying about exams after they are done... worrying about past decisions... etc etc.
   
2. More bodyboarding.
3. More creative cooking.
4. More photography, leisure reading and travel.
5. Keeping in touch with others.
6. Weekly blog updates
   

That's pretty much it. #1 will be the hardest, but the most rewarding personally, professionally, and accademically. I'm getting better at this, but I still have many many miles to go.

Last year was on the whole OK, but I'm not in the mood to wax poetic on the past. Lets just call it the year that was. 2006 is off to a great start!
