March Madness

Back to catching up on last month (now that school is on a gradual deceleration as far as workload is concerned). In hindsight, March proved to be quite the Fairfield alum month. J-Ro and Noel had a crash stay in Boston the weekend approaching Paddy's Day. Noel delighted in getting kidnapped by none other than Jessie K, while JRo and I participated in a sober game of quarters late night. Taking into account both the hour and the principle of staying hydrated in preparation for a 10am race, quarters with water was surprisingly entertaining. I took the opportunity to perfect my game, which, let's not beat around the bush, was pretty pathetic given such a simple concept.

My former FU roommate, Doyle, kicked off her Paddy's Day party which entailed plenty of dips, homemade meatballs and kilbasa, MJ power hour (compliments of Campbell), "don't sink the chalupa" and the presence of some of Milton's favorite parental figures, Connie O'Connor and Donna Flynn. Sunday concluded with (more) dinner and cake for Mama Sue's birthday and a mound of school work that brought tears to my eyes (literally). Anyone interested in knowing what-have-you about erectile dysfunction or all the various off-label uses of Viagra, please feel free to contact me.

Brian took off for the red-light district of Thailand for a couple weeks. I believe he celebrated his birthday with a couple of drags that couldn't get enough of his smokey-eyed look that he's nailed at this point, the look that is. A little late but, "sook sun wan gerd" Bri. Not sure how you would accurately pronounce that birthday wish in Thai but that's for you to say and for me to write. Also, 142 Pearl contemplated throwing a video together but were having difficulty choosing a scenario that wasn't too obscene. Instead, we captured stand-still evidence of the most exciting part of any birthday celebration (the rocking out part, duh!) in Brian's honor (see shotty photo above).

Seeing as we were down a roomie, our other Fairfield visitor, Greg DiCamillo, flew in from D.C. to assume Brian's role for the week. Greg's highlight of his spring break in Boston was his purchase of a suave gray pinstripe quasi top-hat made to induce atrial flutter in females. Clearly, there is no picture that can do the accessory justice but at least you have an idea of what to look out for ladies (and no that is not Greg after some photoshopping gone awry).

Annnd that wraps up March madness I would say (but apparently the madness officially ends tonight with Memphis vs kansas).
