Auld Lang Syne

So Dre and I got back a while ago from a New Year's get together at a friend's house. I thought this would be a fine opportunity to wish anyone who takes the time to read this a happy new year, given that you are probably asking, "Why is Karin up at 2:42 am making a blog post?"

I go back to work on January 7th. Christmas was nice; I spent some time with Dre's family, and a few days in Springs. On the last night we spent in Springs, my dog slept on Dre's bed downstairs with him for the whole night. She never sleeps downstairs, not even with me. He must give good vibes :)

I've decided I want to learn how to play the piano. I borrowed my sister's Casio keyboard from home, and I'm waiting for an AC adapter to be delivered via priority mail. Dre's mom let me take some beginner piano books that he and his brother used when they were first learning. Stay tuned . . . (haha)

I found the following in an old blog post of Dre's, and am posting it just because.

HAPPY 2008!

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 121.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

1. The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli
2. Pg. 121, sentence #5: "As I said above, the Consul and the Roman army were being besieged by Samnites, who had imposed very shameful conditions upon their surrender (this involved passing under the yoke and returning disarmed to Rome)."
