Now that Crysis is over, I figure it would be a good time to roll out some new improvements to the website, including updates to the links page and a brand new page for RSS feeds. This should work nicely as a portal for checking the latest news, at least for me. Anyway, since my wife’s away for a conference this weekend, I can go wild and do crazy fun stuff like cleaning the apartment! Now, with vacuum cleaner and furniture polish in hand, I’m ready to rock ‘n roll.

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than opening night of the Boston Ballet’s production of Romeo & Juliet? Well, it’s really more of a romantic tragedy, but…ermmm…romantic nevertheless! It was an evening of cultural sophistication, down to our prelude of beef chow fun and duck noodle soup at good old HK Eatery. =) Anyway, I’m just glad that on this day, even geeks like me deserve a little love.

Welcome to the Year of the Rat! Unfortunately, neither of our ratty pals could be with us this year. And since this is our first Chinese New Year as a married couple, that means no more red envelopes either – a double whammy! Nevertheless, we celebrated the holiday as usual, by mouth. This included both a Canto-style seafood feast on Friday AND an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet this afternoon. In fact, the ease of the month-long pharmacology course I’m taking has afforded me the ability to finally eat and sleep like the average Joe – maybe even a bit more than Joe. Even after writing my honors thesis, I still had enough time to beat Gears of War on hardcore level. Now, with a few large expenditures in upcoming months, I’ll hopefully find stuff to do that’ll be more remunerative than collecting ammo or star bits.
