SPACEBALLS 2!!!!!!!!!!

I'm super excited today. I spent about 20 minutes or so on the phone with the Volkl ski rep last night, and now I have a meeting with him on Tuesday to buy my next set of skis. After a good deal of research and chatting with people, I've decided to get the Supersport 5 star at 175 cm. I kinda originally wanted to go for the 6 star, but after talking to several people, it sounds like that would be a bit stiffer of a ski than what I'd want for what and how I ski.

Tonight we're trying out a new Irish pub that just opened up on the capital square. I don't even know it's name, but Kevin is really psyched to be going. Which shouldn't be surprising, I don't think he's even seen an Irish pub that he hasn't loved. 8-)

I wonder what the fine is for doing 140 over the speed limit?

The World Series of Poker...possibly coming to a town near you.

Who remembers the movie Neccessary Roughness? This sounds right out of it. Minus the female kicker, samurai linebacker, and Aussie guy who didn't wear pads. Definitely an old guy in there though.

damn...work getting busy again...

Life just continues to stay busy. We had Amy and Adam's wedding to go to last weekend, which was a lot of fun. Hopefully their Mexico honeymoon isn't going to be interrupted by Ivan. Then there's the ever present patrol work. Finished grading the midterms last night, and would have been up much later if Julie hadn't helped out with it.

McKenzie is ending his holdout...for now at least

Sick of popups when browsing the web? So is Kompressor. Check out his "synth-pop industrial" mp3, We Must Destroy X10.

Anyone else looking forward to Oktoberfest?

Holy cow can life get busy. The start of a new school year has been keeping me jumping at work. Every new professor or staff member needs everything set just so, and it seems like everytime you get one request done, three more have shown up. We should start slowing down in a week or two, and then hopefully life will go back to normal. One good bit of news is that Julie's friend Amy is getting married this weekend, so what a shame, I'll only be at work for three days this week, and then it's another three day weekend!

We've hit the halfway point for my ski patrol class. Tomorrow night is the midterm. Scary how fast that's gone. We hit a few snags with the test, but some last second help from Heather Mace looks like it will save the day. Of course, one of the biggest thoughts going through our heads right now is that most years, before this class is over, we're skiing at Tyrol Basin.

Richard Cheese just came up on my MP3 playlist, so on a whim, I went to check out his website, you've got to check it out. He has three cd's out now. The one that I have is pretty damn funny, and the previews of I'd Like a Virgin are pretty funny. Although on a potentially sad note, he says on his website that he is not going to perform live again until after the elections, and won't play anymore if Bush wins. And even if Kerry wins, he won't play in any state that votes for Bush. I thought that was kinda interesting.
