I'm curious about Xbox etiquette - Do people swear up and down on each other while deathmatching in Halo, like a freshman hall?

Also, in other news, it looks like I'll be under the Tech umbrella, as they say, for the next couple of years as I've been accepted to the phd program. It's quite possible that I will have been at Tech for over a decade by the time I finish up. Must make you cringe your big toes, eh Ted? I, for one, am thrilled at the prospect of nursing from the Tech teat for a few more years.

Which brings me to other big news - Jeff Lindsay is now engaged to Claire Horn! I finally saw him last night for the first time in 2 weeks and Claire actually asked him on his bday last Sunday. We saw it coming, but not this soon. For those of you who didn't meet Claire (which I know J and Martin did at J's party), she's very nice and quite likable. Jeff seems very happy.
