Welcome back, gentle readers. Are you glad to be back in school? Me neither. What I did during winter break:

Nintendogs. The Squid and the Whale. Hiking. Munich. Advance Wars Dual Strike. Brokeback Mountain. Yoga. Syriana. Cooked christmas dinner for 10. Casanova. Half-Life 2. The Matador. Discovering the Glendora Ridge Road. King Kong. Snow activities in Jackson, Wyoming. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

In Harry Potter, I came very close to committing the first intentional tort of my life as the woman sitting next to me made not one but two calls from her cell phone during the movie. Only my awareness of the penalties awaiting in the civil and criminal justice systems prevented me from grabbing her phone and hurling it to the front of the giant Imax theatre, so I could experience the satisfying sound of plastic shattering.

Winter break also reminded me: school blows.
