My reluctance to post sooner in the New Year was due to the lack of the words of wisdom I had wished to express. If you saw through this, yes I was lazy.
New Years weekend was enjoyable. My friends and I didn’t exactly watch the ball drop as planned. The weather wasn’t as cold as I thought it’d be, but the rain and some hail made waiting and walking around troublesome. It was kind of funny waiting in some line with the periods of rushing, pushing, shoving and then finding out that we weren’t in an ideal spot to actually see the ball. My only gripe is that there wasn’t enough time to really further explore the city. Still the time spent there was memorable, hanging out and joking with my friends. There was definitely a lot of food consumed that weekend.
The last three days, I spent the majority of my time reading Dan Brown’s Angels & Demon. Great book, I think I like it slightly more than DaVinci Code. Although from having read Brown’s previous books Digital Fortress and DaVinci Code, I could see the patterns of his plot. In addition to reading the novel, I also filled the time reading Marvel’s House of M comics. I guess I didn’t spend as much time with playing video games or watching all those movies I had as planned. I guess I’m more interested in reading, not because I’m a bookworm (I don’t read as often), but I like to excercise my imagination further.
The last week of break is coming and I don’t think I have anything out of the norm planned, probably brush up on some engineering work and continue with the job hunting.
It would have been much more interesting if I was able to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
