I gotta run, just testing this thing mostly. (Dreamweaver uploading abilities that is)

Not that I was so majorly busy during term break, when I was on holiday for three weeks, but I was pretty busy, busy enough anyway not to post random photos and stuff on this site. So now I am making up for it slightly and I’m gonna post a few.

Here is what happens when you are a freshman and your hormones are all out of order in addition to lots of beer. I don’t think these photos to the situation justice. Lets just say there was some full nudity and later some making out in an alley surrounded by lots of smell trash. Ah to be young again. (for those of you who know me well, the previous statements have been complete sarcasm. Anyway, here are some pics)

Since then, I have started my new job. So far, after one week, I like it a lot. So far, things are looking up. I made my mistakes with past co-ops and I am stronger for it. Work stinks but if you have to do it, might as well enjoy it.

Yesterday we played rugby at Shippensburg and we won. (Hoorah!!) It was a good game, and a clean game on a sunny day with excellent field conditions. These are the days we will remember for years to come. Afterwards we partied with the Ship team and saw some craziness such as “rookie lift”, drunken dizzy bats, and perhaps the highlight was how drunk Neville was and how he turned into Nelson Mandella giving random speeches to the masses. He was in rare form. And we also left Mark, one of our rookies behind. I guess it was his own fault for wondering off. Then again, Miller shouldnt have sent him to go buy cigarettes. He wondered back after we were on the road, the Ship guys found him, but I wonder how he is getting back to Philly. Oh mercy.

It seems like quite some time since I have made an entry here. In fact, its been over two weeks. So all my adoring readers (namely Sean, Stephanie and maybe Kathy) have been on the edge of their seats for the past fortnight wondering where is their daily dose of randomness. So basically I have spent the past two weeks doing a show over at U of P. As You Like It by William Shakespeare, it was a great success and tons of fun. It kept me busy enough, so my cheesy weblog got tossed aside for a while as I spent my days and nights living it up in the Ivy League-Thespian style. I love it.

What the website will show you is production info, cast lists and photos. What it wont show you is how much bloody fun we had singing along to Romeo and Juliet, Ophelia and Shakespeare ‘s got a gun. As well as our tomfoolery backstage including the all-cast a capella versions of Bohemian Rhapsody and Baby Got Back. Man, I love theatre. Especially low-budget, outdoor, Ivy League, Shakespearean theatre.

So my vacation has all but come to a close. On Monday, 23 Sept 2002 I will begin work as a Graphic Designer here at Drexel University. I am looking forward to the opportunity to build my portfolio and have some fun designing stuff and all that jazz, but in general, I don’t like work, and would be much happier sitting on my ass watching Regis as opposed to dragging my “corpus semidormus” to the office each morning. Oh yea, paychecks are a good thing. Hoorah for paychecks. By the way, “corpus semianimus” is Latin for half-asleep body, its not a legal term. No, I don’t speak Latin. I wish I did.

Tonight, I went swing dancing at Tokio Ballroom. I don’t usually get out during the week to go dancing, but I think I am gonna try to make a habit of it. It was packed full of people and most were pretty proficient Lindy Hoppers, Jitterbuggers, Balboa-ers and the like. Pictures don’t really work well at dances so I don’t even bother to bring my camera most of the time, but lemme tell you, it was fun. And it was hot as Africa, and so sweaty. Had to take a second shower after running a good 4 miles earlier today. I guess thats my punishment for sitting in the house the whole day. Swing dancing is a good, good thing. I might even use the common British-ism “jolly good”.

Am I random yet?

After 6 long long months of long long classes, I am finished. For now, I am taking it easy trying to catch up on all the projects that haunt me and still train for rugby and perform Shakespeare. I’ll let you know how it all turns out, so far, so good. For once I actually have very little to say. Nothing especially potent to rant about. I should write this down. Oh wait, I just did.
