Current song on iPod: Last Song - The All-American Rejects
Last music video I saw that took me back: Feed the Tree - Belly...Tanya Donnelly was a friend of my Economics Professor at U of Illinois, and he kept using examples that included Belly...i.e., "If the band Belly has 500,000 fans who buy one album over the course of 30 days...and the CD pressing rate is 10,000 per week with 2-days shipping time......etc etc etc....:) )
Last peoples to stay at the Crib: Dad and Purva - came for the weekend and hung out...great to see them
Luckiest Bloke award: Tie: Mom and Dad - they went on a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas, and the Hurricane prevented them from docking...so they had to stay out at sea for an extra 2 days for free...tough life...
Last party I threw: Saturday night at the crib...25 peoples....good crowd....then hit Soundbar and Zentra...good times...
Next party I'm going to throw: Sugar Nightclub - next Thursday - be there
Last time I thought of someone: Anna - while watching my weekly show "The Alternative" on VH1 Classics on Sunday nights...Siouxsie and Budsie were guests on the show...(you lucky girl, you ;) )
Current side business I'm venturing into: Wholesale diamonds - top notch quality at half what you would pay at boutique diamond stores...the bottom line: Debeers has a monopoly on the diamond industry...that's why they can control the price of diamonds...I met with the one of the execs of the company last week and last night, and gave the handshake...If you or someone you know needs some diamonds, get your best price, then come to me... (You many now officially call me "Iceman") ;)
Latest Course I've finished: Improvisational Comedy - Second City Training Center
Next Couse I'm enrolling in: Tie: Something at Second City (TBD) and some scattered MBA courses at U of Chicago or Northwestern...(it's been a while since I've done my MBA - wanting a refreshed in a few areas)
Last meal I cooked: Indian food - chicken - using Mom's recipe - it was damn good - no lie
Coolest thing that happened today: I won the Office pool picking NFL games for Week #4 (10 out of 13)....nailed $40...boo yah...

Latest appreciation that God made music: Yesterday - went to brunch with Sandy and Sadhana to Orange - very cool place...good omelets....they played INXS' greatest hits for most of the meal...after that ran, the started up Morrissey....needless to say, we delayed over dessert for a few songs...;) Suedehead, How Soon is Now, Boxers, What Difference Does it Make?....I can honestly say that I've never eaten in a restaurant while listening to Morrissey...t'was lovely...

Wow. Your parents were really lucky. Hopefully something like that happens for the R2 honeymoon! =)
Sorry didn't catch up with you on Friday night. We ended up having to meet some folks at Japonais and didn't get out of there. Wish I had known you'd end up at Zentra. I would have made a push for that.
