Okay, so, I know it has been, like, a month since my last entry, but sometimes people get busy. Deal with it.

Anyway, WE HAVE AN APARTMENT! Yep, after two years at Duke, I am now back at University Gardens two floors above where I used to live. "Movin' on up ..."

Actually, it will be a little while before we actually live in the apartment. Mary is still working at the den of debauchery that is Oktoberfest.

Which brings up the surreal event that Oktoberfest is. It is really odd to watch a crowd of 60-and-abovers line dancing while a four-piece band in leiderhosen playing a guitar, tuba, drums, and accordian belt out a medley of funk's greatest hits.

To be fair, they don't always play funk music. Normally, it is just your run of the mill polka or German oom-pah music. I guess they were just in the mood for some Ohio Players that night. And, really, is it ever a bad time for Ohio Players?
