This May Be Long

It rained most of the day, but stopped eventually allowing me to go get a short ride in. It was so ridiculously humid I went for a run around Jester after my ride to finish up my triathlon.

How much do you have to like a house to bring it with you when you move?


I used to think architecture was a dangerous major, but I don'tthink we've ever done anything that required 9 fire trucks, 4 hazardous material trucks, 4 fire marshals, and 3 ambulances all at the same time before... The biology department on the other hand, well, they needed them all last night...
(picture was too dark to make anything out...)

I got a sweet new cd in the mail today:



I need to think of a good April Fools Day thing for studio tomorrow... Hmm...

Crit

3/4 Race: Got a flat on the start line, changed it and had to sit at back for whatever reason. Decided that sucked and rode by myself for a while.

Open Race: Made my goal of hanging for 20 minutes. Rode until I got lapped by everyone about 35 minutes into the race. New goal: 30 minutes before getting dropped.

Yay for the parentals being here!

Now I'm off to studio for a while!

This pretty much says it all:

In other news, my first (Tuesday) Nighter was tonight. Despite the very strong wind that was only a tailwind for about 5% of the course, it was pretty good. I got about 10th in the "B" race. I would have done the "A" race, but I didn't know the policy on waiting for people that did the extra lap but got dropped, nor did I know the way back to campus... so, maybe next week.

Picture

I was going to make some comment about eating 5 chicks all at once, but I can't really come up with anything too good...

Happy Zombie Jesus Day everyone!!

Crunch!

So we went to Reimers Ranch today to preride for the race in a couple weeks. The trail is... interesting... If it wasn't for this little ridge of rock on the side of the hill, it would be super easy, but really, not so much. It'll be interesting to see how the A.J. does if he comes down later.

I broke one of my pedals on a rock (Crunch), making it the thirsd thing I've had to replace on my mountain bike in the last three weeks. Wow that thing is getting old...

In other news, I bought a Nestle Crunch bar, but it was upside down:


Also, with a little editing... NESTLE CRUNC!!

Meh

I went riding at Walnut Creek earlier, it was is really nice outside, and it was a decent ride, but for whatever reason I don't feel like I enjoyed it as much as I should have...

It took me forever to figure out why there were so many people at the park... -1 for U.T. for making us have class on Good Friday.

RANDOM QUOTE OF THE DAY!!

"Do you smell that? It kinda smells like barbeque!"
-Some lady out at the park walking by (guess what) A BARBEQUE!!

Driveway

Well, I really sucked it up tonight...

But I got my training plan for the next couple months, so, BEING FASTER HERE I COME!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaay... But really, thanks senor Coach Andrew!

Memories

Rain, rain, go away

come again some other time.

Wait, that isn't right... But yeah, I wanted to ride today. Stupid rain ) :
Yeah, that's right; a frowny face. Take that.

I was going to watch some tv since I'm stuck inside, but my road bike stole the remote and wouldn't give it back:


At least when I went to get a snack I was able to cover all the food groups, you know, bread products, chocolate, and fruit:

PICTURE TIME!

You always look cool when riding in the back of a truck:


Almost as cool as when you're driving this car. Sweet!


These guys were in town over the weekend:


They had sweet flames too!

In other news, I did not sleep good last night, because
1) The school decided that spring break wasn't actually over until today, so there was no reason to turn the A/C on last night and thusly it was about 456765434529 degrees in the room.
2) The roomate decided that 2am was the perfect time to turn on all the lights in the room and cut his fingernails. I made it very clear that this wasn't the best idea and he went to bed. And proceeded to snore for about 3 hours.

Waco

The Cameron Park race was today.
Me and Will prepared last night by owning at Downhill Domination in our hotel room and listening to Megadeth on the way to the race. Methinks it helped - I finished 9th, but as not-so-awesome as that sounds, I was only 9 minutes behind 1st place, and I felt like it was one of the best races I've had in a long time.

Anyway... I have a bunch of nifty cool pictures from this weekend/ spring break that were going to make this a nifty cool photo blog, but I couldn't find my camera cable, then remembered I left it in the studio. So... I will get it when I have class tomorrow, and then upload all my pictures. Yay!

Adventures

I went back to Cameron Park today with Kim Chance. We rode a lap and a half-ish. It was good. I didn't get a flat.

Later, John came over and we played guitar hero and ate pizza. Then we were going to go bowling, but it was really crowded, so we decided to go somewhere else instead. We were going to go to Target, but somewhere along the way I made a wrong turn, so we went to 7-11 instead. Then I made another wrong turn and couldn't figure out which direction we were going or what road we were on. Then we ended up at Target and we found $30. Target was closed so we went to Walmart and used the money we found to buy some cds.

Random

Some random girl just tried to add me as a friend on facebook. This is what her "about me" said:

"Well this is like funky weiird lol okay well my mom is candien/native and my dads italien pluse a grew up like a acadienne so like i am all of thosee is that like funky weiird"

Yeah, I don't know. I thought it was funny.

0, tab

We (me + mom) were just filling out the Federal Student Aid thing, and that's what kept typing for how much money I had from all these differant places. That means that hopefully the government will give me some denero. Too bad I have to pay them back.

In other news, I went to the high school today, and the parking lady yelled at me for parking in the faculty lot and told me I had to move. So I went furthur down in the faculty lot where she couldn't see me and parked there.

No offense to A+M, but...

Thanks for holding the (prehaps) dumbest race ever.

Actually, I don't know that "dumbest" is really the right word... It's more of a "comes down to luck, and riding ability really has nothing to do with the results" thing. Any time five people get flats in the first four minutes of the race...

Oh, and did you know that a cassette can fall off while you're riding? I didn't. But it seems that it can happen.

Then I got a flat.

By this time I had been standing on the side of the road so long that I only had to do 5 laps instead of 6. Possibly the only reason I even bothered finishing. Yeah...

If it wasn't for the 1/10 of the race that was on real pavement, I would just use my mountain bike next year. Maybe I'll use it anyway.

Then today: drove to Waco to ride Cameron Park. Rode 1/2 lap before I got a flat and it started to rain. Meh, it was on the way home (YAY SPRING BREAK!) and I might be going back out on Wednesday or something.

I have some awesome pictures from driving, but no cable for my camera...

Spring Break

Starts this weekend yay!

Astronomy test tomorrow boo!

I finished my paper literally 2 minutes before it was due today yay!

It also rained and got cold again boo!

But spring break starts this weekend yay!

Sleep is nice

So is not having class tomorrow.

Goodnight everyone!

Weekend Report

Umm... Bar-H went good. I got 8th out of 20ish. I'll take that.
I have some funny pictures and stuff too, but those will have to wait. I've been in studio for 20 out of the last 24 hours and I need to get back and finish stuff tonight. Hopefuly somewhat early. Then I have to write a paper. Joy.
Oh and I have to go vote too. Vote for Mr. Obama. Hillary needs to stop running and go make me a sandwich. Yeah.

I'm going to bed.

Weekend report sometime tomorrow.
