Greetings from New York City!

Happy Holidays to all! I'm currently in New York City with seven other of my college buddies. I'm right now in an apartment in Spanish Harlem (a special thank you to Maricar, James, & Marlowe), and it only took 15 hours from Los Angeles. The trip included staying up all night for our flight at 6:45 in the morning only to find our flight delayed an hour, which forced us to take a later connecting flight, which was also delayed another hour, so we landed in Newark 3 hours behind schedule. We ran around Newark Int'l deciphering the train system, lost three people in Grand Central Station (they ended up in Queens before finding their way back), and trekking four freezing blocks, all the while using my hand-me-down digital to document it all. Hopefully I'll get my pics up soon.

My Christmas was alright, spending it in Las Vegas. I endured a crappy Las Vegas Bowl (urgh... UCLA lost to Wyoming in the last two minutes), but spent some quality time with friends and family, all the while avoiding the tables and machines in the casinos. I've realized that although I personally hate the city, I meet the coolest folks in Vegas, which is as good as any reason to go.

I'd love to go into more detail, but I'm exhausted. I also need to put up a lost entry about my weekend of the USC/UCLA game. But in the meantime, I need to keep warm.
