Party Time

All modesty out the door for a moment. I think my housemates and I threw a pretty good party last weekend. It certainly surpassed our expectations, and the comments we received were all positive. And a note to anyone who attempts to emulate our success: butcher paper on the walls and lots of Sharpies makes for a good time.

Furthermore, the enthusiasm that everyone in the apartment put into the planning -- from the website, to printing up pictures of global warming and nukes, to the trip to Home Depot for "bird flu" masks -- was impressive. It brings to mind a quote from Hannibal Smith of The A Team, who said, "I love it when a plan comes together."
