I am again short on words… but pictures are supposed to be worth a thousand words… so have the worth of several thousand words:

The aforementioned Fawkes cake.

Apparently I have a face

There was also going to be a picture of “the best gift ever” / “the best dollar [Karen has ever spent” … but I can’t find the person who took the good pictures of this… so, maybe I’ll add it later.

Another cop-out,

Nothing interesting, I assure you

I have now gone almost three weeks without blogging. And it’s not for lack of remembering to… I’ve just either a) not had anything to write about or b) felt like the subjects I wanted to write on deserved more time and development than I’ve had to give them. This post is mainly just to fill space and not pay $5. It is lame I admit it.

Just so it is not devoid of content, I will at least inform you on some random points of news from the last week or so:

  • I got interviews with Amazon and Facebook. I hope at least one of them leads to an offer. I really want to have a more productive summer than last year.
  • I joined the pika meal plan on Wednesday. On Saturday, I got a bid. My bid took the form of an awesome Guy Fawkes mask cacke that Jess made. Piper took pictures, but she has not sent them to me yet >_<! I was thrilled to receive the bid. I do really like pika. In the short term, however, I expect I will stay on 5E (though last night’s party until 8:30am certainly wasn’t encouraging …). If nothing else, I will seriously consider pika for my MEng year (though I understand the house really needs less grads and more undergrads…).
  • There were auditions for the Toons on Thursday. We got three new members. All three male. One from EC (41W), one from ADP, and one from Baker. The ADP guy is nicknamed 8-ball because he supposedly once threw an 8-ball at a bear.
  • Ring premier happened. I am pretty happen with the design, which can be found here: http://twentytwelve.mit.edu/ring/site/design. The event itself was also pretty fun, if only cause we took it not-so-seriously and were kind of obnoxious.
  • I played Masquarade (the guild game) today. It was fun. My mechanics were kinda broken, but it was fun anyway.
  • Today was Valentine’s day. I’ve never really been a fan of the day, but it made me kind of sad anyway. *lonely sigh*.
  • I am SUPER hosed this week.

Thus ends the filler piece.

I need to sleep.

Night world,
