One week...

That's all that's left till I bust out of this joint for Grand Rapids, the problem is that I don't have a ride. I should get on that.

The broomball update is that we won the All-Wads title, but lost to the eventual champs in the semis.

QC is crazy good right now. I'll say no more, just go read it all. Questionable Content

I've recieved three of the five cds that I ordered last week, and already Page France is one of my favorite bands. I think I'll do a longer post on them sometime soon so I won't go to in depth now, but suffice to say that they are incredible. Page France's Myspace Plus I've got a couple EP's of theirs that should be in this week.

My paper and Exam last week went well, I got a 92 on the exam and a perfect score on my paper. I think that it's safe to say that I'm back on the @#$%*ing ball!!!

I finished On the Road last week. As I said before, it did inspire me to seek out music from that time. But as for the book itself, I'd say I was disappointed. I don't know. It was well written. I enjoyed reading it. It guess it just didn't live up to the hype.

Steve's in town and I haven't had a whole lot of a chance to hang out with him yet. The last couple of nights I've just been too bushed to really get out there. Yeah, I know, me? too bushed? I'm not proud of it but it happened. I'll probably get to hang out a little bit tonight or tomorrow night, so that will be nice.

So, I started reading A.W. Tozer's God Tells the Man Who Cares. I'm enjoying it so far as it has been a little while since I read a straight up Christian book. More on this to come.

Well, that's all I've got for today.

Broomball and other musings...

Well, we won Wads Gold League and will play for the hall championship tonight round abouts of 7:15. The thing is I'm scheduled for work tonight, so I have to find someone to cover that hour for me because I do NOT want to miss this game. It's been a lot of fun this year and we're going to be play against possibly the best team at tech tonight, so we'll see what we can do.

I like the word bereft.

I have another patent and just got all of the paperwork faxed in about 15 minutes ago. Is it a bad thing when you really aren't sure how many you have now and you're still in school? I don't think so, but it's only 4 or 5.

I need to see the latest hour of 24, I'm behind. Come on Tim get it and we'll watch Jack Bauer pound on some terrorists! And for the record, who wouldn't have voted for Dennis Haysbert in the latest elections if he had ran under his character's name of David Palmer.

I ordered 5 (yay) new cd's last Friday I believe, but they aren't here yet and I'm getting antsy. They better come in today...

I think the streak of A's should continue as I think that I did well on my latest paper and the second half of my microeconomics exam. Well, I'm sure that I'll see for sure by next Friday.

I'm almost done with Jack Kerouac's On the Road. It's been good and I've enjoyed it very much. It made me really want to get into some of the jazz music from that time, you know the good stuff like Miles Davis. They were so wild and soulful with their music. That's one of the next goals.

Speaking of books, I've got a few lined up in my possession and many more that I want to read, but I think that the next one is going to be one that I bought on my only trip to Canada with Mr. TenEyck, (may he remain forever single), A.W. Tozer's God Tells the Man Who Cares.

Team USA is playing hockey against Finland right now. It's tied 2-2.

I'm really liking the Sigur Ros right now and I'm really upset that I don't live anywhere near civilization where I can actually see them, as they are touring the U.S. right now. I hear they are simply beyond incredible live. They play with such emotion and even their studio albums are something beyond words.

Finland just took the lead 3-2.

Well my busy day is going on and I'll stop moving again come 11:30 PM. Laundry Time!

Keep on truckin'

I'm dying. No more late night hot tub for me. I'm pretty sure that it is getting me sick. I've got a dry/sore throat, and some messed up sinuses. So while it is good for the back, it's severely depleting my health. Maybe I'll trade it in for a sauna in the dorms every once in a while.

Carnival was fun. It was nice to see Steve and Rachel again. Even though it was for but a little over a day. The statues looked really phenominal and what they can do with ice just keeps getting better and better each year. I took pretty much this entire Carnival off from all of the various events going on and that was nice. I think that I would probably have died if I hadn't. But overall, Carnie was pleasant.

I'm really starting to build some good friendships up this year. In particular with Tim, Chris, and Kurt. It's really nice to be building up these friendships as I was wondering what I would do with myself this year now that practically everyone I was good friends with is gone.

The book plan is going well. So far I've gone through the entire Chronicles of Narnia and Black Hole, (a graphic novel). I've been getting a lot of recomendations from a lot of people so I have to start up a list so I don't forget them. I think I already have another 3 books in my possession that are currently in que. I'm really excited about getting back into the swing of reading.

Unfortunately, this Carnival was not as productive on the homework end of things. I thought that I might be able to get some of it done at work tonight, as Sunday nights are usually fairly slow. But, of course, we ended up being busy tonight and that plan didn't go as well as I would have hoped. Though I did start on my take home exam and it seems to be fairly easy, so on that front I am pleased. In addition to finishing that up, I have to write an outline for a paper that I'm doing on the economic and environmental impact of coal usage in China today. I think that it's going to be pretty fun to research and weigh the pros and cons of using coal to stimulate their growth and that it will be a challenging and rewarding paper. I also have a quick homework assignment to finish up for that class. And... I have a paper that I believe is due on wednesday for industrial economics. So, in other words, I have my work cut out for me. Especially tonight.

Well I guess that's enough for one night. Wish me luck on the homework tonight!

Another week, another update

Ahh life. Where to start... So, I sent out an email to go see Brokeback Mountain to the Crusade list last night. In all actuallity I sent it to the list because I thought that there may in fact be someone who would like to see the movie and since we were going... you get the picture. Secondly, I guess I like to rile people up. Like Tim, for instance. I told everyone to email him to go and see it. Mainly I just wanted to flood his inbox. Anyways, I thought that since I didn't want people to take it too seriously that I would put the trailer for Brokeback to the Future at the end. Now that's a movie I'd go and see.

Jonny is now engaged to Jacki. I hope they have mutant babies that not even a mother could love.

Two exams are in the books and I did well on both. I got a 95 on my Environmental and Natural Resource Economics exam and a 96 on my Industrial Organization Economics class. Woo Hoo! That's a big load off of my chest as I have to do well this semester.

I'm still crusing on my book kick and just about done with the Last Battle. Sometime soon I'll do a recap of what I have read so far this year. What should I read next? I'm thinking of reading On the Road by Kerowac (sp?) but I'm not too sure.
