Things That Are Fun

(After much anticipation)

Architecture trips to Dallas are fun.
Waking up five minutes after the buses are supposed to leave because the batteries in my alarm clock die is also fun.
Neither are as fun as people realizing I'm not there and waiting for me though.

Going to art museums is fun.
Take pictures of handrails and blank walls at said museums is also fun.
Watching the museum people laugh at us doing that is fun too.



Though, art is fun too.

So is sculpture.

Wait a little longer...

That awesome amazing blog I was talking about earlier has been pushed back again to, well, later today...

Bang Camaro is officially totally awesome. Possibly the best concert I've ever been too; and it's not quite Slash's pick, but I got 10 out of the 11 of them that were there to sign my cd booklet. I couldn't track down the last guy before they made us all leave.

Yes I did say there were 11 members of the band there.

No that isn't all of them. There are 5 more.

Seriously. The full band has 3 guitarists, 1 bassist, 1 drummer, and 11 vocalists. Seriously.

RANDOM QUOTE OF THE DAY!!

Attn: Roomate

Please note that it is not neccesary to lock the door while you are inside of the room. That is all.

On a related note, trying to balance a plate on top of your hand that you are holding stuff in while unlocking the door with your other hand is not a good idea. I do not recomend it.

On a related note, I sure hope the wall was clean because I used it to help catch my cheescake after it fell off of my hand, and I still plan on eating it.

Best Buy

Today I went to Best Buy with the intent of buying some cds and playing Guitar Hero on the demo thing to show off. The cds worked out good, the GH playing not so much. Best Buy should invest in some plastic guitars that aren't missing pieces and function properly. Still, I got 4 or 5 new high scores on their game; but no one that came to watch hug around too long...

Last night I got back to campus and while I was waiting around in front of the dorm for a parking space to open up, I took a little time to go drive in a circle around campus instead of just sitting there. For whatever reason a cop started following me around. This got annoying pretty fast, especially after he made a left out of a right only lane to keep behind me. I considered going in circles around the stadium to see how long he would follow me, but decided it would be more fun to pull into a parking space, let him go by, then pull back out and follow him. So I did. That was cool until he made another illegal turn and I had to go the right direction.

Still Sick?

Sure seems like it...

Todays race didn't go quite so good, but after thinking about it, I realized my heart rate being higher than normal the whole race along with not having any legs (yes, they got cut off, it's a sad story) were both pretty good signs that even though I can't feel it normally, I'm still not fully recovered from being sick last week.
Me and Coach Andrew decided that a few days of easy riding only would solve the problem, and seeing as there is no race next weeknend, it shouldn't hurt my "training" either.

And the RANDOM QUOTE OF THE DAY!!:

Tobin got run off the road and was dropped, he came by where I was standing a couple laps later, slowed down, looked up, and said "someone barfed over there."

Tomorrow Morning

I have to get up at like 5:45.
YAY!!

No, not yay getting up early; yay getting to wake the roomate up early. Is it bad that I really enjoy being a jerk to him? Normally I don't do stuff like that, but I guess the whole thing with him not caring about me is turning around on him. Tnight I'm going to play music, and when he tells me to turn it off, I'm going to ignore him and pretend I'm asleep. Then I'm going to make sure he wakes up in the morning when I do, and when I go take a shower, I'm going to leave the lights in the room turned on. Maybe when I leave for the race too. I don't know if I can be that mean or not.

This morning someone turned on one of the blenders at the smoothie place downstairs while I was walking by, and I thought it was the roomate blowing his nose, because it sounded the same. True story.

ToNB

The crit went good, the road race not so much. Before I get into detail, a few things I learned this weekend:

-Crashes generally happen somewhere besides the front of the pack, making that the best place to be
-Don't eat at the school cafeteria before a race
-Don't use deep dish wheels when the race is going to have crazy crosswinds

The crit went smooth until the last lap when there were three crashes within the last half mile. I avoided them all, but got seperated from the front of the pack and couldn't catch up. I scored a 24th, so that isn't too bad.
The road race: I ate at the school cafeteria before, and go figure, I felt rather sick throughout the race, eventually leading up to me being dropped and skipping the last lap. Using the Zipps wasn't terrible, but I probably would have been better off with the Ksyriums.

I'm going to go buy some cereal and oatmeal at half time so I can have better races next weekend!

El Concert-o

It was pretty much amazing.

I snuck my camera in:


Then I helped start a mosh pit during the encore. Needless to say, I have no pictures of that...

And between the two, Slash threw his pick out into the crowd, and well, I'm not sure what to do with it yet...
