New Stereo

I'm taking a Pioneer car deck out and replacing it with a newer Sony out of our old boat. I liked the quality of the sony sound, but it was coupled with nicer speakers. I hope it will get me to summer.

Xbox mod

I've been doing some research on how to softmod an xbox so I can keep my games on it. I'll keep you posted. It looks like an interesting topic and procedure.

Milton

Last night we lost our second dual swimming meet to a neighboring town. It came down to the last event, but we tried our best. At least we went to Culver's for a good after-dinner.

School

This is the week before Christmas break, and I am swamped. I have had a test or large quiz in 7 classes and projects in 3. I should just be in college taking my finals! Break will never be so appreciated.

TSO

Last night my family and I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They are amazing. Their Chirstmas show is spectacular. The message is wonderful, it is the true meaning of Chirstmas.

XBox

I just invested in an older Xbox today. It costed only $30 with controllers and such. If I like this system I will invest in a 360 before summer... then again Christmas is around the corner.

Egg Rolls

Tonight I had the best egg rolls at a swimming pasta party. I hope to get the recipe and I'll post it. It comes from Guam and is mainly chicken and veggies.

Deca

Were working on my Deca project right now in hopes to get me to state. It is in advertising marketing. I don't have a topic yet, so any ideas will be flowing soon.

Krispy

My friend is obsessed with this song and it has to be the most rediculous song I have ever heard. Lets get back to real music not hip hop crap.

Supertroopers

This has got to be the funniest movie I've seen in while. It doesn't compare to Green Street in intesity but it sure is funnier. I think that the Jewish guys is even in Superbad!

Swimming

Today was the hardest practice of the year. We had many hard sets and then when our two hours were up, the guys in my lane stayed late and finsihed the entire workout. It can only make me better, state here I come.

311

This an amazing song. It is so chill. After a rough day this is what I come to.

Lexus

So my buddy just bought a Lexus Rx330. It is an amazing crossover which has a lush interior and a GPS system. Invest!

Chili's

We ate at Chili's tonight. My dinner was the Triple Dipper which is an appitizer. Now, I am bursting at the seams. I think it's the way to take it is slowly.

Greenstreet Hooligans

This is an amazing movie. It has the D2 effect, except I wish I had grown up in England with soccer and a love for fighting opposing fans. It also deals with the concept of pride and trust in others. It is a great movie and several levels. Watch it!

Ice Storm

So we got off school today for excessive ice. I am hoping since I got my skates that this storm will level off the ice on our pond so I can get some skating and puck handling in before I go to an actual game. I am also in search of another method to smooth out ice.

Skates

I just purchased a pair of CCM ice skates in hopes to play some pick up hockey games this winter, as we live in Wisconsin and there really isn't too much to do! Yes...this was inspired in part by D2.

Mighty Ducks 2

The other night I watched this older movie. It has a profound effect on people. All viewers wanted to play hockey immediately. It was nuts. In addition, I found that I remembered many of the lines from the movie. (i.e. You lost it for me Gunner. You lost it for yourself, lets go shake their hands. [All was in Icelandic accents]). We pronounced this the D2 Effect.

Finished Tree

Last evening we finally finished decorating our tree. It stands over 15 feet tall with so many lights and ornaments and cannot even fathom a guess. It lights up our whole living room, gorgeous. I hope we have a happy holiday season.

Swimming Dream

I am on the swim team, but last night I had a crazy dream. We were at a neighboring pool, but it looked nothing like it. During warm ups I could not dive in correctly and they almost DQed me twice! Then I took some time to explain to the lifeguard, who was very nice, I then just before the race, I woke up! Crazy

Locker Signs

My friend and I have now started to post locker signs on each other's locker. The theme this week seems to be Bob Marley. I'm interested to see if the janitors will take them down, as they are getting a little cluttered.

Snow Day

Today is our first snow day, I hope to get a lot done. I want to finish some projects and start an account on ebay for selling.

Chirstmas Tree

We just put up our tree... 15 feet tall. It took my dad and I over 3 hours just to get the lights on. I hope it doesn't fall and that we can get it decorated before too late.

Pride and Prejudice

I've just begun reading this novel. It poses some very interesting questions. I cannot yet figure out Elizabeth's position on pride, but it is interesting to see the characters' take on Mr. Darcy.

Madison

Yesterday I received my letter of acceptance from UW-Madison. I was so happy. Hopefully I'll be able to get into one of the newer residence halls, like Ogg. I'm also planning on taking some trips up... Go Badgers!

Sony Camera

I just got this DSC-T30 camera from Sony. It seems to be very nice, digital and all. I am reading up on the features and hope to take some nice macro shots, if I ever get it figured out I'll post them.

Newegg

This is the best computer hardware site around. I purchased all of my parts here and then when I received a faulty one they replaced it within a week, Including shipping time!!

New Computer

Hoorah, I finally got this one put together. It took forever to get everything around and data transfered from each computer. But it is so nice.

City & Color

This is an acoustic band. Which consists of Dallas Greene, hence City and Color. He is the lead singer from Alexisonfire which is screamo, but this is some of the most peaceful melodies.

German

This is the toughest language to master. The irregular forms and 'the' forms are killing me! I hope I can drop it at semester.

Swimming

The biggest meet of our season is tommorow against a team which has some of our old swimmers. So this will be emotionally tense.

Jenga

To today, at a swimming party, we played lifesized Jenga. It was awesome. Simply cut up 2x4 boards into ~18inch segments and play. Careful where you are when it falls though.
