All of your favorite people will go out with the alum-celebrities, the ones who've earned their place in the department's hall-o'-fame, but when people like me roll into town, the true friends will stick to you like rice on a spoon.

I love those people. I guess I was just expecting more.

This town disappoints me each time I visit, but only enough to leave me thinking that it'll be better next time.

Also The National were nominated for the Best Alternative Album Grammy and I feel more excited about that despite my feelings on the Grammys but GODDAMN IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR SOME RECOGNITION FOR THESE GUYS. GET IT, BERDEVENSNERS.

I may be a little inebriated.
