To continue my tradition of posting the results of the latest scholastic bowl ventures, back on Saturday we went to Von Steuben for a tournament, and were fairly successful. 5-0 in the morning, but we lost a close game to Rufus King in the afternoon elimination. A little too slow and a little too unlucky, as we got some atrocious bonuses, such as "What are the four major tournaments of the Professional Bowler's Association of America?" Anyway, it was a good day overall.

Return of the King is damn good. "A pretty fruity movie" indeed, Larsen. Hmph. It's got action, it's got drama, it's got a little bit of comedy. 3.5 hours, and you could tell that movie wanted to be longer, but it was still great stuff. And the battles were just stunning, although I did miss the climactic one due to lack of stamina on my part. Anyway, It was seen with the aforementioned D&D group on Sunday, and a good time was had by all.

Also, Kate is back for the next six weeks. I am elated, euphoric, ecstatic, and several other words for "happy" that don't begin with 'e'.

And then there are apps. The good news is no one else seems to wqant quite as much essay as Stanford. The bad news is I still have apps to do. Blergh.

Despite that little setback, merry Christmas to all.
