Weekend for the ages!

First things first. A few highs (and lows) from the weekend:

Domers improve to 2-0 after a 4-0 win against the mighty Gladiators. Can't wait to join you guys back in Trondheim, less than 4 weeks from now!

Rosenborg win 2-1 away against Lillestrøm. No. 1 in the league!

Red Sox sweep the Yanks at Fenway after winning 4-1 Sunday night. AND JACOBY ELLSBURY STOLE HOME! Watching from the bleachers, it was obviously on the other side of the ballpark, but this is definetely going to go down as one of the most memorable nights of my life. Jacoby had 3 steals, one of which for home, Papi had a double, and J.D. Drew (!) had a ground rule double with an RBI.

It was sad to read the papers today and see that Beatrice Arthur is dead. Rest in peace, Bea.

A kid actually died at Celeron on Friday. These kids really don't know how to drink.

I lost my camera this weekend. Fuck.

Connecticut is definetely putting on a show, we've had mid-July temperatures for 4 straight days now, and yesterday it was close to 30 degrees. Unbelievably awesome!

Tired and frustrated. Wanna sleep. Going to gym.

This and that

Not much to say...I'm kinda scooting along, school, gym, work. Weekend should be good, first Uconn, then admitted students rec., then Fenway on Sunday night. Be sure to look for me in the bleachers!

If you think you know the answer, step right up

Eggs and bakey for lunch today, actually woke up at 8am on a couch in Willi Oaks. Procrastinating for a few hours now, should be heading to the gym in about 30 or so.

Domers won yesterday, a 23-6 road-win over Trolls. Good start to the season. Just wish I could've been there. No write-up from me, as everything I know about the game is hear-say. Have to try and get some HW done before the gym now, ya'll have a good one!

4 weeks of classes, finals and then home!

Here's to hoping Danny Ainge recoveres quickly from his heart attack.

Domers opening the season away against Trolls on Saturday. My brother dressing for the first time. So proud. Hope we can reel in a victory, get a quick start before the Green Gargoyles head to Kristiansand for a tough matchup. Can't wait to rejoin you guys, this season's going to be awesome!

Maybe we should go somewhere else?

Single elim. flag-football, and we get knocked out. Too many individuals, not enough team players. Hate to say it, but if we weren't greedy on plays, and maybe started acting as parts of a team instead of me-first Terrel Owens clones, we could've easily won.

Almost done for the semester, and it shows with the amount of homework that's piling up. Presentation on Friday, and then next week we got 3 assignments due and 2 exams. Bright side, football season starts this weekend, and my beloved Domers open against the Trolls in Oslo. Sorry I can't be there fellas, but I have faith in you! Win us one!

Arbitrary consciousness and red meat

That just wrapped up the Georgia spring game, with Red winning 13-3. Not wildly exciting, but entertainment on a gloomy day. It's just so fucking boring here right now, you have no idea.

I want to watch the Masters, but I don't know if anything is on until tomorrow. Still looking for W2s, let me know if you see them...

Drift and Die

How much can money buy?

Last night was okay, even though our softball team got raped. I tried pitching with small amounts of success, but at least I got an infield single. New game on Monday, and we will also play our first game of spring flag football then. Happy times!

Weekend is slow here at Eastern, trying to get my psych paper going, taxes and so on. Burgers in about 30, should be awesome!

Bunny, Bunny, Easter is Funny!

Had my last lab today, good to get an extra three hours off on Thursdays. Prof. seems nice enough, but I'm not going to do anything with chemistry later in life anyways. And lately I feel the lectures have been venturing more into physics. Well well.

Everyone is leaving school today, cause we have a long-weekend on our hands. The few of us who are staying a bit late are gonna play softball tonight, were I will see if I can continue to maintain a good OBP.

Lots of parties happening tonight too, I believe we are going to the Tall Man's place after the game.

Spring is on the rise here in Willi, we had sun today, and I got my shades from Urban Behavior. Bring on the beach!

On a related note, the Dear Leader appeared in North Koreas national assembly this week, only to be reelected to leader of the Defense Committee, the highest position available in North Koreas chain of command. So in less than a week we've had the (un)successfull launch of a 3-stage rocket and Kim showing his face for the first time since August. Good week for North Korea :)

Boo!

Went to open house at Central today, met with the coach and a compliance director. Nice day, but windy. We'll see what happens in the next week or so.

Watching the Uconn hoops team losing by 9 with 2:22 to go. Not an enjoyable result.

Do we know anything at all?

What makes great music? Is it a good guitar-line, is it the off-beat drums or the shivering vocals? Does it have to be new and fresh, original? One of a kind? What about the lyrics? Do they have to be understandable, yet deep? Can they be ambigous? Can they have no meaning what so ever, or be straight forward about the most simplistic things? Why do we appreciate certain types of music? Why do we select one particular band or artist? What about similiar music? Why won't we listen to that, but stay with our favorite band?
