    Speak Easy Eight wins 2-3 against Ragin' Bulls! And I think this was the first time my win determined a team's win. Yay! All that practicing this week paid off.

The screw.

        (By the way, Mike, if  you want to see that short girl jumping as well as the link to the online confessions, go to my random section.)

Pool at Corner Billiards

In case you didn't see those gate things in Central Park, here they are don't waste your time

                   

Went to see SonicVision at the Planetarium of the Museum of Natural History. Pretty cool show, probably would have been 10 times better under the influence of drugs. Ah well. Later went to Pizzeria Uno. Good but expensive Chicago style restaurant with some out of place NY Yankees photos to "keep some of the neighbourhood style" as paraphrased by a worker. Clam Chowder was good.

 

Later at the Edge....

    Another one of our parties:

Eugene and Mike exchanging phone numbers and hugging good-bye. Weird.

Awesome people looking at my website.

Dave's sneaky face   Dave's evil eyes      Dave's sadistic biting 

 

Dave's usefulness

       

Cheer up British man, how about a warm beer?

 

Matt and Eugene's debates....                    Matt too drunk to remember who to debate...

    No TV means Monday nights at Anthony's to watch 24. Thank you Anthony, you are a life saver. You may even get upgraded from your "oh yeah, you too" status one day.

A rare moment. He didn't blink for the camera.

Debate topic: Is this a form of cactus? Please address your responses on my message board (see Quick Links on the right border).

Caption is everything.

 

I was able to capture on video one of the many geek conversations of a Cooper Union student! Click here for a special look!!

    Moving day: James moves out, now it's just me and Matt, in other words, me, because Matt is either in Queens or at school. Hoorah!

I will miss television.

   

Here they are taking it away from me! Didn't even let me finish watching "Boy Meets World".

    James moves on...

 

    Another Cooper party.....

        ...so many Cooper Union gatherings that lately I've been forgetting that I don't go there....

...but then I remember that I am not a geek.

And speaking of which, here are a few on a Thursday night discussing the intricacies of Fortran.

 

Some photos from the party (it must've gotten exciting after I left)...

Lots of random people with red cups (everybody gets ONE)

    Stick It In @ The Music Box

Awesome place, very late 19th century-esque, if I know what I'm talking about, which I don't. None-the-less, very nice, candles, chandeliers, dim lights, portraits on the walls,...I even felt like I shouldn't have been playing pool because it wasn't a women's game back then. But I played. And I won. And it took two hours!

William and I

Ronnie                                                            William being original                            Me
