Weekend events

First, the weather this weekend was fantastic. It was clear, cold, and sunny (although it snowed—just a teeny bit—Friday night). Weather like that can put you in a good mindset for happy activities in the evenings.

Saturday night, Katherine’s colleague hosted a theme party. The same person who hosted the masquerade ball in November, he has a knack for elaborate decorations. Here he is representing half the theme:


Later that night, we celebrated one of my colleague’s birthday. People are dancing here, appropriately celebratory:

Beer, cake, and dancing—what more does a birthday celebration need?

And finally, I met a new person. She went to high school with a cousin of mine in Washington, DC. Crazy, huh? She lives in my neighborhood. We went to a Thai restaurant nearby, which at least begins to address my delinquency in trying out the restaurants near me.

(As a final note, for those of you who’ve been privy to this particular tragedy: my iPod is working again!! Hooraaaaaay!)
