Our dinner parties are usually a little too great. Tonight was a spicy meatloaf with italian sausage, a tomato mac & cheese, broccoli, and plenty of wine. That we do this basically every weekend sometimes makes me feel spoiled.

I basically haven’t listened to anything except the new album from The National since Tuesday morning. This includes during the half-hour walks to and from campus during which I have a tendency to sing along to the parts that I’ve figured out the words.

It felt ridiculously good during the my brother’s graduation ceremony today to be recognized as an alumnus. Since I continued my studies at MTU for a year after graduating and then transfered later, I don’t think that graduating felt as much of a conclusion.
