| Oh dear. Has it really been that long, Xanga? Please let me apologize from the deepest part of my apologizing place.
Anywho, it's just the usual chaos. Shakespeare to be acted. Pirate clothes to wear and booty to plunder. New jokes to crack. Things for me to break. (Sorry, bench.) Music to be made. Places to visit and people to see. And new sparks to be found in old places? (Let's hope.)
Next semester brings English (two 400 level classes dealing with Renaissance studies) and music (three courses ranging from basic music theory to digital synthesis of sound). It'll be nice to dive into classes again, but I must admit that I shall miss the rustic comfort of home. Alas, just when I finally get into a pattern, I have to break it. But oh, the adventures that I always get in to. You all must come along. I insist. It's great fun, I promise. So yes, that is an open invitation to all (well, by "all" I mean "most") to come and visit!
And with that, I'm afraid I must draw this entry to a close. Here's hoping that I stop by again sometime soon. Keep on keeping on, Xanga, and I'll catch ya on the flip side.

A bear walks into a bar. "I'll have a bourbon and..............coke."
The bartender asks "What's with the big pause?"
The bear responds "Oh, I've had these all my life."

"You know, once you go Mark, you never go back.
To Mark, that is.
Actually, if you leave that vague enough, it makes a decent pickup line."

| Oh Xanga, how time has flown.
Another year, another semester, the same old madness. But I would have it no other way.
Here's to 2007. For just within that year, the exploits were grand. I was a mechanical engineer, I attended an ivy league school. I directed a magnificent cast in a Shakespearean play. I was in several theatrical productions myself. I transferred to a new school and began the excellent study of English. I made many poor choices. I rode the thunder onstage and performed for a homecoming show. I got a haircut. I traveled all along the east coast. I crafted many an offensive song.
And all throughout my adventures, I have met many amazing people, and stayed in touch with the people who mean the most to me. It was a good year, no doubt. Here's hoping that 2008 is just as kickass.

| This is the opening weekend for the RPI Players Evening of Performance.
It's a night of three one-acts: The Mystery of Twickernam Vicarage, which is a wonderful spoof of a murder-mystery, Masterpiece Theatre style; The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, an absurd commentary on the unnecessary pain and suffering one poor woman endures; and the show I am involved with, The Line That Picked Up 1000 Babes (and how it can work for you!), which dives into the bar scene and shows you the risks involved in picking up someone of the opposite gender.
Needless to say, I am having a blast. 1000 Babes is a small cast (which is my favourite - all of the actors get to know eachother better, thus the onstage charisma is tighter) and fuckin' hilarious to boot. In the midst of the show, I break out a two-page monologue that is one of the funniest (and very appropriate) things I have ever memorized and recited for an audience.
And once again theatre is my salvation in life, providing me with acquaintances and a pastime that I willingly devote all of my earthly energy towards. What can I say? I love it.

P.S. - The high today was only 9 degrees. Not cool. Not cool at all.
(Well, actually very cool, but you get the idea.)

| Back in NY to start the spring semester on Tuesday. Oh joy.
I hope everyone had a kickass Christmas & New Years, and best of luck in the upcoming year!
Break a leg with everything, and be sure to drop a line to this crazy boy in NY every so often!
*update*
Everything is crazy icy up here. Like, every blade of grass is encased in a shell of it. It's pretty interesting, but I'm sure the novelty will wear off very soon.
