Friday evenings are relaxing, unless there is a party going on

Me, I'm in West Hartford eating pizza, drinkin' some Sam and taking it easy on this first night of Spring Break. Well deserved, if you ask me. I'm going from Newark tomorrow afternoon, 1830 local time to be precise. Hope you all have a wonderful evening, and I will see you in Norway.

OOoo

Nice weather here today, celebrating St. Patrick. Trondheim soon, excited!

EC! SU! EC! SU!

Creatures in the kitchen

Did you know that when left in a sealed container for more than 5 days, spaghetti starts to grow a greenish kind of beard? College life is fascinating to the point where if your cheese is green on one side, and yellow on the other, half of it is still eatable!

I'm really not good at this.

You're not getting any pictures from the Uconn game here, they will be on Facebook later this weekend, possibly tonight.

I'm sitting in an armchair watching college hoops, I think I am on my third game already. Texas at Kansas. Doesn't matter though, switching to a movie in about five.

Spring time is hitting Connecticut with force, we're supposed to have a pretty warm weekend and start to next week, so I might break out the shorts and sunglasses.

Not a lot to write about really, I am on antibiotics, recovering from a few days of sickness. This unfortunately got me off my workout schedule, so I will start again next week, probably Tuesday. Only two weeks till Spring Break, awesome!

Free Agency, Free Fa(i)lling

As the NFL-buffs of the congregation will tell you, free agency is the period between the scouting combine and the NFL-draft when veterans try to get as much money out of their team as humanly possible. By the book, Washington gave Albert Haynesworth a seven year deal worth in the vicinity of $100 million. Ho-lee shit.

The thing that was most shocking to me was the news that the Patriots traded Mike "I can do it all" Vrabel to the Kansas City Chiefs, where former VP of player personnel, Scott Pioli, now runs the business.

How do you part with someone like Mike Vrabel? The guy has been instrumental on defence, he plays all downs and distances, he plays special teams and he has caught 8 touchdowns as a tight end. He never complains, he goes with the mantra "team first" and he is a veteran presence in the locker room. Unbelievable. This is almost worse to fathom than losing Tom Brady in the first quarter of the season last year. We'll see if this is just another masterpiece by Bill Belichick, but I really don't know...I guess time will tell.

Make benefit glorious nation of US and A!

Uconn hoops game today, pretty easy victory over USF. I thought they had a pretty bad game actually, despite winning with double digits: seemed like they knew this was going to be easy or something. Thanks to mr. McKenna we had pretty good seats, I'll see if I can throw some pictures your way.

Yes, I am staying in on a Saturday night, I actually have to do homework...not the way I want to spend my weekend, but sometimes you have no choice. Gotta get a few pages down tonight and hope for a early start tomorrow.

I have a movie recommendation for you, and I know that most of you will say "why haven't you seen it until now?" but I saw Memento last night and I really liked it. I like the way the story spins backwards, and you slowly uncover new bits and pieces of the puzzle. Well worth watching (again).
