CURES for the Application Blues

[tomjr]

Some things that are helping me cope:

My record collection!!
~esp. John Coltrane's Impulse recordings and Beethoven's Symphony #3

Martinis made with Stoli Gold
~iced glass, fill with voldka straight from the freezer, garnish with a twist, wave the vermouth bottle over the top

Distance running

My Ultimate Frisbee club team here at BU

The Monsters Inc. DVD

anyone care to share theirs?

cheers,

Tom

it's out on video?! that is definitely my favorite movie of last year. i had read the book a couple of years ago (didn't think it was as good as high fidelity) and was pleasantly surprised when i went to the theater and saw the movie -- very funny, yet touching, etc...

How's about egging or tee peeing the houses or practices of ad com members who rejected/waitlisted you? That would be fun, but wouldn't help much

or hows about this? Having a puppet show with 4 and 5 year olds. I did this yesterday with my pre-kindergarten class and it was fun! however, if you're not into kids it might be kinda stressful
