just because it kills me every time.

podcast about the future.

The Seattle Seahwaks picked up a huge receiver in free agency, T.J. Houshmandzedah! This really changes their draft needs this year from receiver to focusing more on our paltry defensive line. This could prove to be a really big move. It's so odd to be thinking about football again in the middle of baseballs spring training, but, bring on the podcasts! Oh yeah, I'm listening to one right now.

asking the tough questions.

The rematch in Pauley Pavilion

Cougs are victorious 82-81! Probably won't do much for our slender postseason hopes but it's still the second victory in WSU Basketball history on the road at UCLA!

flowers in my hair.

I got back from San Francisco yesterday. I was in the city for 3 days and it was awesome! It's weird how you go on vacation to relax and get away, but sometimes you come back pretty tired. It's a good kind of tired though. I really tried to see it all including the home of the SF Giants (I got to go on to the field at AT&T park and was mere feet from Tim Lincicum!) The weekend was also saturated with basketball as I was able to score FREE court side tickets for both WSU games against Stanford and Cal. It was an awesome weekend with good people, smells, sights, sounds, food and bev.

back to back 2 point losses

my soul is a little bit crushed. Stupid Southern California schools.

WSU vs. UCLA

tonight at 6:00 these two teams go at it. UCLA has beat us 31 out of 32 times. Hopefully tonight that will change, but I'm not holding my breath.

a fullish house...

this weekend we are going to have roughly 200 people on the mountain! There are three separate groups and it should be a pretty good time. If only this happened more often...

last night

Klay Thompson is a Freshman at WSU. This kid is going to be the real deal soon, but this dunk was awesome!

Happy New Year!

I am sick. I hope you are not. My first post of '09!

we are in Texas!

Last night, Tori and I arrived at DFW airport. We then made the trip to Crowley, TX to surprise my grandparents who had no clue that we were coming for Christmas. We were able to pull it of and once the screaming and crying (in a good way) subsided we had a great time. We will leave on Tuesday and be back up at camp on the 31st. There it is.

it's great to be on vacation

I am up at 1:30 a.m. watching Quigley Down Under. This doesn't normally happen.

another good one

one of my favorites as a kid...

up to my eye balls...

in a fixed asset inventory. There is so much stuff here at camp! It feels like my days off have been busy running errands and my days on have been really full, which is all great. But, my blog has been neglected and that is not great. I needed to post if for nothing else than my own sanity. Any readers that used to follow this thing have probably given up at this point, oh well. I'm alive.

we survived our Thanksgiving feast.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at The White House one day early. Today we will be going over to a friends house to watch all the football and basketball and of course play rock band. But yesterday, Tori and I made our first Thanksgiving meal and shared it with a few friends at our house...it was awesome. There was, of course, a lot of work that went in to the preparation and cooking of the food but we had a good time doing it. Highlight for me was everything was enjoyed and then cleaned up by about 9:30. So on that note, Happy Thanksgiving II!

Oka and a baby.

Today Tori and I are going to go down in to town and grab some Oka to take over to Ryan and Nellie's house. We are going to meet their new baby, Naomi! After that, maybe Quantum of Solace?

fall is lasting a very long time.

I can't believe our fortune in weather. This is incredible. I know that the snow is going to come eventually and most likely we are going to get dumped on. But, I'm just trying to soak up the sun while we still have it. Also, I can't wait for thanksgiving. I'm just sayin'.

what I smell right now...

a fresh pot of chili. Lily and Tori are making some bomb chili, we have fresh baked bread and were sipping on beer an Julies sangria. This should be an incredible evening. Oh yeah, Haas, James and Dustin are also here.

a shout out to interim

tonight, it is time for another rousing game of signs. Somewhere Ginny Siverly must be giddy.
