life, love, and the pursuit of a PhD

I think Vegas is kind of gross too, but there are some terrific shows that are in residence there including "Ka," the newest Cirque du Soleil production which hasn't yet gone on tour. I don't know if people actually like going to Vegas as opposed to bragging about their activities there. For some people, one excuse is as good as any to act irresponsibly or at least out of character and the Las Vegas tourism bureau's commercials encourage it. It's warm, reliably sunny (or is it?) and fairly easy to find your vice of choice.....I hope you at least get the chance to get away from the undergrads. ;o)
