How's December?

School and work have both been so busy lately that I didn't get a chance to share any of the fun things that happened lately. the blurry pictures of some rapper guy came from a terrific night Heather and I spent last week watchin Kanye West's Touch the Sky tour. I drove home from Irvine, thinking about how unusual it is for a rapper to have songs about Jesus, (like Jesus walks) his mom (Hey mama) and his sick grandma (go out and buy Late Registration and find it for yourself). He really breaks the mold. true, he raps about smoking pot and dropping out of college, but he also is the only rapper I know who had string musicians on stage with him. the concert was Heather's treat, and has been the highlight of my december so far. Other nominees for best event in December include a few good consulting opportunities, including putting together a series of podcasts to promote our department at SDSU. It sounds like I'll get a chance to interview and talk with our professors and their heros. Good to put something together for the department. I feel like they've given a lot to me, and even though i haven't graduated yet, I feel like I'd like to give something back. Plus I'll get to put my name out there so that it will reach the ears of many of our influential alumni, and at the least I'll get to work with some really talented people... John Keller interviewed by Bernie Dodge will make it worth the while. There've been a few good nights out drinking with friends. a few good jogs along the beach (even one today) and of course USC has continued it's success. apologies to all people who don't like pictures of poop popping up in their newsreader. For now, I'm still one final away from finishing the semester. I have a few projects to wrap up before taking the 21st through 29th off.
