This weekend was really fantastic. It started off great on friday night with a party at a friend’s house. It was close enough that my friend Josh and I could walk over there. I knew a lot of the people there, and had no problem talking to people. It was nice to be around people…
Jump Number 2
This morning I went skydiving again. I can’t believe I’m already saying this, but it was a pretty normal jump. I showed up at 10. One plane of students had already jumped, a second plane was getting ready, and there were only two on the third plane, so it worked out great. I wore the…
Softball is over
We finished the tournament, so softball is now over. It was double elimination. We lost our first game on monday, but not by much. I made a stupid play that I’ll be paying for a while. I was on second. The ball got hit into the outfield. As I got to third, the third base…
Jump Number 3
I think I’m getting hooked. I think a big part of it is that I want to do it right, so I’m going to keep doing it until I don’t make any mistakes. This time there were good parts and bad parts, but more good than bad. The good parts were my exit and my…
Stupid subtitles
I watch all kinds of movies. Tons of them. Sometimes I get good movies, sometimes they’re mediocre, and sometimes I want to snap the DVD in half and bill Hollywood for my wasted time. Tonight was the kind that makes me want to not only bill Hollywood, but also write to each of the actors…
No shirt, no shoes, gross
This evening I was at the grocery store doing my routine shopping for food. WinCo is not home to the trendiest shoppers or the most beautiful people in the tri-cities, but I’m there for the food, which is also not the trendiest or most beautiful, but it is pretty cheap and is basically what I…
Spiral of Unproductivity
Way back in the end of March I posted about the Spiral of Suck. Essentially this is what happens to me on the racquetball courts sometimes when I do something stupid and get mad at myself, initiating a spiral of suckiness that ends with me angry at myself and incapable of hitting the ball. I’d…
Two great games
Monday I had one of my best disc golf games ever. At the end of the first nine I was at +4. Each of the holes is a par 3, so getting only 4 over is pretty good. The back nine was even better. I was +0 on the back nine. I got a birdie…
Spelunking and camping
This weekend I went with some friends to Ape Caves, next to Mt. St. Helens. Reader’s Digest version: it was awesome. Friday we cut work early (I love flextime) to get prepared. The six of us met at my place to consolidate gear into two cars. We then drove about 4 hours to get to…
ow ow ow – different reason this time
It seems an unusual proportion of my entries describe the various pains I am experiencing. From getting beat up at racquetball to hard landings skydiving, I have a knack for putting myself in situations that result in my body expressing great dissatisfaction. Yesterday I did it again. My friend Joe has a sailboat, and yesterday…
