- First sections as a TA for me start tomorrow. I’m a little scared. I also hope my sectionees aren’t stalking me already.
- Pretty tired of classes already. Too bad I can’t even get an internship anywhere. All I really want to do is watch Gossip Girl, which is kind of a terrible show but I can’t stop watching it.
- Evidently it slipped my attention that Chrono Trigger was made for the DS. That should be exciting.
- Tina LeBlanc is retiring this season. She’s 42?!?

- My fantasy basketball team has somewhat stabilized into mediocrity, which is fine by me if I can make it to the playoffs.
- I’ve been trying to work on the Netflix prize, but I just can’t seem to get enough motivation to make any progress. And now that schoolwork is ramping up again, I think this may be a doomed failure.
Frazz
Haven’t read the comic in years, so I started catching up. This is gweat.
Hopes and Resolutions
Things that would make my year:
- If I met Marit Larsen.
- If Taylor Swift sang “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”.
- If Stanford women’s volleyball doesn’t lose to Penn State in the finals again this year.
- If the world were less shitty than last year.
- If a black guy were elected president of the US in my lifetime.
New years resolutions:
- To go to Norway.
- To get a girlfriend (a perennial favorite!).
- To task myself to be a better man than I was the year before.
- To figure out what the hell these bugs are that seem to appear out of nowhere and end up in my closet and floor.
