Sorry for the lack of updates. Ian may have his own reasons, but me personally… well I’ve been busy, but I’ve also been focusing a lot on my own blog, which is something I’ve wanted to do, and finally–with a little push–did.

But that’s me. Bingham C13. Well, were still here. And we don’t want to kill each other… well not all of us. Things are going well. Our suite is still undecorated, messy, yet quite simply amazing. Chris still gets the late night highs and sings amazing late night songs. Khalid is sick (again) but is excited that Of Montreal is coming to Toads. Ian is still pushing through his heaping amount of DS reading but always seems to have a female-related story to tell. Wesley… well I got Wesley hooked on another computer game. He might’ve beaten it already though. Marc is rockin it… still livin life with a smile.

And me? Well, there’s a lot on my plate, but i’m trying to cruise through with a smile. Overall, things are still pretty flippin’ awesome here at Yale. I can’t think of a place I’d rather be.

Hell yes.

it’s 3:40 am, and I’m not really feeling writing about anything. But I think the suite can say that tonight was a really good night. I personally had YDN inductions (featuring our lovely blog), went to Sig Ep for a fun rave, then met up with PC folk for some Yorkside and chillin. Then came back to the lovely Bingham C13 to find a dance party (about to get shut down) and at least 3 (maybe 4) other awesome suitemates. Doesn’t get better than that.

Sherri Barrett, 47, a homemaker from Northridge, has been with her partner Kelly Cabral for four years. Today, Barrett was alone, holding a sign that read, “Chickens – 1, Gays – 0.”

She was upset that birds would get more humane treatment through the passage of Proposition 2, but gays and lesbians would not. “If they only had as much compassion for humans as they do chickens, it would be a beautiful place,” Barrett said.

From the LA Times

My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama — (boos) — to congratulate him — (boos) — please — to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.

From the transcript of Obama’s victory speech on Tuesday night:

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain. (Cheers, applause.) Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. (Applause.) I congratulate him, I congratulate Governor Palin for all they’ve achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead. (Cheers, applause.)

Note the disparities between the boos from the McCain supporters at the mentioning of Obama and the applause from the Obama supporters at the mentioning of McCain. It’s kind of childish, in my opinion, how McCain supporters at the rally reacted… yet the Obama supporters didn’t hesitate in showing McCain the respect he deserves.

It was the forty-eighth turn of events. We Sons of Eli shall never again energize our souls and engage in our ill-fated attacks on the other members of the Ivy League.

Although we had numbers far beyond that of other schools, sheer size was proven to be not enough, for schools with far fewer in number showed us all that a handful of men with much energy could overcome a horde, a mass of individuals, many of whom never bothered to bring energy to the fight–many of whose energy was not enough.

In this world that we’ve grown to love and hate, only five schools remain.

1. I got new speakers. I’ve “owned” them for a while, but I finally physically have them. I finally have bass back. I finally have a full sonorous experience once again. Come check them out.

2. Jordan Schneider’s new song is extremely impressive. It’s a one minute techno beat for the Music 295 (Intro to Electronic Music) class. Check it out here.

3. Kanye West’s new music is straight up awful. Like, disgustingly so. I just listened to “Robocop,” (link: eastofla.com music blog) hoping it would be good, and I cringed as soon as his “voice” came in. I won’t say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” because I’m all for artists trying new stuff (e.g. Kid A), but this is just uninteresting, fake, monotonous, T-Pain-did-it-I-should-too crap.
