$745 SWEATPANTS

Not to be Bill O'Reilly or anything, but here is a ridiculous item of the day I just can't pass up.

Kelly was talking about some friend of hers who has $240 sweatpants. I couldn't believe such a thing existed so I went looking around on line. You have to see this. SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE DOLLAR SWEATPANTS with a NINE HUNDRED DOLLAR MATCHING HOODIE.

Thanksgiving Recap

Thanksgiving Break was awesome right up until that dissapointing tragic loss to the Raiders last night, but life goes on and we're still in position to make the playoffs.

Wednesday afternoon Bracken and Kate drove Kelly and I up to airport. Traffic was pretty nasty but we made it well in advance. We played some cribbage in the airport and Kelly creamed me like she usually does (she didn't get the skunk though!) Gma and Gpa picked us up in San Diego and we embarked on our 3 hour drive straight across the bottom of the California. The best part was Gpa telling us to keep an eye out for Mexicans on the road. Kind of reminds me of the time we drove up to Alaska from Oregon except on that drive we were looking for moose. It was 3AM by the time we got to Yuma but that didn't stop us from enjoying some of Gma's chocolate cream pie.

On Thanksgiving we woke up early for our walk around the park. We met a bunch of Gma and Gpa's friends, a surprising number of whom had ties to either Salem, Alaska, or Montana. It makes sense I guess, because those are cold wet crapholes that any old fart would want to get away from in the winter. Then we played some shuffleboard and went to dinner. Lots of grandmas made their best dishes so we got nice and fat. After that we played some cards and Gpa and I kicked the ladies' butts like usual.

Friday we woke up at 8 and went down to play shuffleboard. Kelly got made because her teammate was losing the game on purpose because they were playing against her granddaughter. It was a pretty funny situation. After that we went four-wheeling in the desert. That was pretty sweet but I sunburned the back of my hands and now they hurt pretty bad - but not as bad as they would if Gma didn't cut off part of her aloe plant to rub onto my burns :) That night we went to Texas Roadhouse, which was amazing. Gpa and I got beers and then they came in HUGE mugs. The rolls were good but everybody made fun of me for getting two potato dishes: french fries and homestyle mashed potatos with my steak. Laugh all you want - they were damn good.

All weekend Kelly was giving me a bunch of crap about being a good cook so I decided that Gma should teach me how to make a breakfast dish, so she taught me how to make Le Toast Francais. Don't go grabbing your dictionaries, that just means French Toast. Then we went to Me heee co. A bunch of sketchy guys with fake gold chains tried to sell me Viagra. My personal favorite was the guy who asked me to buy some handcuffs for my neighbors wife. The best t-shirt in Me hee co would be the one that says: "I'm shy, but I have a big dick." classy. We went back to the US and to my surprise there were no guard dogs or oozies or john ashcrofts. We made it back into the country and took a drive around Yuma, came back to the park, and played some cards.

Sunday morning we got up really early to begin our trans-California sojourn back to San Diego and the real world. Kinda sucks to be back. Pics will come, but not till they get developed and scanned.

The weekend ended with the Broncos losing on a game-losing blocked field goal against our arch rivals in the snow at home, me finishing up a 21 page assignment for American Foreign Policy, and me waking up at 5 in the morning still dressed not remembering ever falling asleep.

the game...

don't anybody talk to me about the game. i don't want to hear it. don't ask me what game because if you knew me you'd know.

beat at home in the snow. awful. i have nothing more to say. i'm going to go drown in my tears and the 2o pages of papers I have due tomorrow.

:(

Jews and Gun Control

So last night one of my Republican friends said something about how there is a lot of liberal stuff on the internet (like the previous post on this blog) but not conservative stuff. Here is some right winged shit for you:

The Jews for the Preservation of Guns Rights website is the funniest (in a scary way) thing I've seen in a while. On their website they had a page called "free stuff" so I had to check it out. There they had a coloring book for kids that you could print off and give to your kids to teach them about the "truth" of gun control.

Here is a sample:

C is gun Control, because that is what countries do when they don't trust the people. People in China are sad because they are a communist country, which means they are slaves to the military.

K is for Gun control Kills Kids. Your parents aren't allowed to take guns to your schools to help protect you.

U is for United Nations. This is an evil group of nations that will never let you have fun with a gun.

Y is for Young Kids. Young kids can shoot bad people and help defend their families, too!

This book was completly serious. We printed off a few pages, colored them, and put them up by the door so phi delt would be educated about the truth of gun control.

here is the link if you have to see this to believe it: http://www.jpfo.org/freebies.htm

The last couple weeks...

Hey blog,

well i know i haven't posted anything in forever but what can I say, I've been busy as hell!

Since I've been gone, since I know the 1 and a half of you that are reading this are really wondering...

ACADEMIA

*I ACED my second bio midterm. This brings me to a 99.5 or so in the class. Maybe I picked the wrong major.

*I got two A- grades on 40 pages of papers. I get another 24 pager back in about 14 hours.

PHI DELT

* I was in charge of initiation week for my chapter and planned and carried out a week of activities bringing eight new members into the chapter.

*The pledges threw a party in La Pine, near Bend. It was a hell of a drive but the hot tub made it worth it.

*We had a big basketball tournament with a bunch of freshmen. after being traded for NOBODY I scored six points and got lots of steals and rebounds. we took third in the tournament so I'm happy.

WORK (that's right! work!)

* I got a job as the coordinator of the Willamette Watch Program for Campus Safety. It isn't too bad yet and it gives me some experience with manager-type duties.

Wedding Plans

* Kelly left me a message asking if I wanted three inch, six inch, or nine inch candles for the centerpeices at the reception. my answer: innocently, "I thought girth was more important."

I got hit.

RECENT POLITICAL RANTS

* Of course, I have to touch on the election. For anyone not experiencing the election in Oregon, you really missed out on a bunch of pussies. We watched the election and I swear, some people started to tear up. I understand a little bit of dissapointment, but for the rest of the week attendance in classes dropped dramatically. I have had a guy in one class write EVERYTHING on a clipboard for three days because he was vowing silence to protest Bush's reelection. It's shit like that that makes me think I need to get out of college. I just don't appreciate that shit too much anymore.

* So today Condie Rice got bumped up to SecState. Bad career move. Historically the National Security Advisor has had a more important role in presidential administration decision making than the secretary of state. I think this happened so Bush could put in a real hard liner into the NSA job that Condi had. She's definitely more of a hawk than Colin Powell, so I guess that is more of what Bush is looking for.

After a lunch time discussion today I decided I was going to stop worrying about this election and proclaim the following:

MCCAIN/POWELL 2008

OTHER:

J.S. Bach is a son of a bitch on the voice, especially in the worst and wettest part of the Oregon winter. It's cold season and Bach ain't helpin'.
