Shooting some B-ball outside of the school

We went to another basketball game tonight at the Rose Garden: Portland Trailblazers vs. Philadelphia 76ers. The Blazers lost, which is not uncommon to be honest. This time was particularly heartbreaking though: an early lead followed by a 10 point deficit for three quarters. Then at the last minute, thanks to some spectacular three-pointers, they were a point away from victory. With 10 seconds to go, they then completely ballsed it up with some spectacularly stupid fouls. Argh! The Blazers are not going to help me get away from the shame of Huddersfield Town. The free ticket, food, cap, player bobble-head, and pom-poms just about made up for the disappointment.

I'm back on campus now, from my visit to the Hoyers' festive house. Not overly happy to be in the French House again, it's kind of cold and un-homey. I also long for the convenience of Commons, the bookstore and the mail room, lazy person that I am- they don't open again until next Tuesday. Good to be back on campus and with other Reedies though. I suppose we'll have to do something for New Year's. I remember last new year 2006, the five of us hidden away in Nick's farmhouse in the hills, drinking a lot and mostly feeling a bit awkward. Good times!
