Week (or two) in Review
In celebration of getting my highest GPA ever in college, I ran through my bedroom door. Don't ask, 'cause I don't know.

I went home to Random Lake for Christmas. I received the following DVDs, which I highly recommend:
1. Lewis Black: Black on Broadway
2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
3. Riddick Trilogy
My sister also gave me Superbad, which is slowly growing on me. In a change of pace, I decided to give my siblings books for Christmas. I gave my sister Never Eat Alone and my brother Can I Keep My Jersey?. They both were very surprised, but seemed to like the taste in writing.

I took a bus to Milwaukee. I took another one back to Madison to drop off all of my presents and get a change of clothes. I headed back to Milwaukee on another bus to meet up with Maerz and Alfredo. We had a couple brews following the Badger men's bball victory and the tip-off of the Marquette bball game. It was the first basketball game I had attended in two years.

Then the three amigos drove down to Chicago for an unofficial @ reunion. The group's @ involvement ranged from '98 till now. No one knew everyone directly, but everyone knew one person that connected them to every other person. At some random point in the night Craig crowned me "Brodie". Yet another weekend where my name has temporarily changed with very little logic taken into consideration. The other nickname of the weekend was given to Mike from Purdue: Mapquest 2003, as he's from Chicago and was repeatedly throw off by the "new" downtown. After rings were tossed about like hot potatoes and Alf missed his winning and tying putts in Golden Tee, we headed back to the downtown Hilton. It should be noted that the bad-ass, Maerzie, was the one pushing the bottle and the length of the party 'tll we finally went down.

I then took the Metra to Crystal Lake to meet up with an old dormmate. We celebrated the New Year with some poppers, champagne, and lots of Flight of the Conchords. Her mom also made some awesome chocolate, pecan cake. I was eventually dropped off in Janesville and took the bus back to Madison.

And all returns to normality.
