Happy New Year everyone. I hope the holiday season has treated you well. So far it’s 2 days into 2007 and I can definitely say I’m dragging my ass at this point. On New Year’s eve we were invited to Kevin and Courtney’s wedding, which was a pretty good time. Any opportunity to drink beer and smoke cigars with friends is always a good thing. Then many of us got together to play the traditional road hockey game on my parents street. If anyone isn’t convinced we have a problem with global warming it should become apparent to them after the downright tropical 9 degree temperatures we experienced while playing hockey. It made for a great game though.

Also this weekend a bunch of us checked out Rocky Balboa. I quite liked it. The movie definitely worked, as it meshed a modern day plot that paralleled the current boxing scene, while hitting on all those Rocky-esque moments we all love. Rocky movies have always been unapologetically corny, and this one was no exception. And the way the movie ended seemed a much more fitting end to the Rocky series then Rocky V was. In fact, I’m floating the idea that Rocky V be removed from the public consciousness, in a style similar to the game ET for the Atari 2600. We’ll take all copies of the movie on VHS and DVD and bury them in the desert in New Mexico somewhere and pretend Tommy Gunn never really existed. And the world would be a better place for it.

And over the last week or so I’ve been trying to track down a Nintendo Wii. What a biatch. I’ve been itching to buy one for awhile, and now I actually have the money to do so and can’t. They are such a hot item right now mainly because there is such a broad audience buying them. I’m hoping I can scare one up in time for next week when I have a week off. Though by rights I’ll probably need to do some packing, as Corina and I gave our 2 months notice to the landlords over the weekend. We’re now looking for a place in Cambridge, a 2 bedroom in the $800 inclusive range, so if you hear of anything, shout me holler.
