I just found out that DJ Jazzy Jeff stayed in the hotel 2 days ago. Though I missed him I'm still super excited about it.

I went tanning today, and now I am brown.

I came home, and found that someone missed me. That is the best feeling in the world.

A wierd and complicated cardgame in which no one is ever told the rules, which are, in turn, absurd, complicated, and nonsensical

I've just cooked my own salmon steaks for the first time ever, and they came out bloody GORGEOUS. I made a lovely dijon mustard, white wine, and black pepper sauce.

Hooray for my cooking ability.

Not to spoil your fun but Salmon Steaks are really easy to make

*runs away*

by **German Sausage** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 4:02 am UTC

but they are very delicious.

Went to a FIRST robotics competition and saw my old high school (and their teams) completely OWN the others. And I got free(ish) meal out of it

I don't doubt it.

I guess Norwegian sauce is not as good as the salmon.

perhaps intentionally... who can say?

After a couple of days of hassle with a dead hard drive, I finished resurrecting a new Gentoo installation from the ashes of my old filesystem (of course, I made the hostname "phoenix"). Because I copied all my old config files from the old installation, this was my most successful install ever; even Xorg worked right on the first try. The only thing I missed was creating a mountpoint for my windows partition.

So, now it's 3:00 in the morning - I'm going to begin compiling a bunch of programs I need, and then head to bed.

Your sauce does sound yummy! Mushroom sauce is my specialty - I serve it with veal schnitzels sometimes and stuff, also as a pasta sauce with diced chicken. I will have to experiment your sauce next time we have fish, though!

by **Akira** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 8:24 am UTC

...i like mushrooms. my ungle hates them, and let me pick them out of his spaghettii sauce for him ^^

I went to an erotica expo on saturday, then went ot the art gallery and played with crayons, then I went over to a nice boys house for the night. Sunday I went to "Cheap as chips" which is an open air concert held each year as part of orientation week at uni. Yay!

I won a dance trophy. Woot. I was at a dance competition (Irish) and I placed in 3 dances. One of them I got first in, but it was kind of a gimme because there was only 1 other competitor and she was godawful. But at least I got another trophy for my shelf. I also won (against several people of equal and higher levels) a second place medal in my treble reel. It's quite the quick dance, and you only get 1 step to impress the judges with. I was proud of myself.

I went skiing today. As I was skiing I wondered about the frequency of the ridges on the bottom of the skis hitting the ice ridges of the snowmobiles (waxless skis).

i watched house of 1000 corpses. rob zombie makes fun music but is no director. and the ending really shat me off. twice in less than 10 seconds.

I went to see Pan's Labyrinth today and because the subtitles were a little off in the beginning(about half of them were cut off at the bottom) I got a pass for a free movie... which I'm gonna use for 300 this coming weekend.

by **Belial** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:02 am UTC

Pan's labyrinth was fantastic.

by **Traisenau** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:04 am UTC

It really was, my only problem with today was that we were also gonna see Zodiac, but they mis-printed the time in the paper so we arrived 20 minutes late.

It was. Probably one of my favourite movies last year.

So, uhh...

Well, nothing new to report, sorry.

Aw man, 300 is coming out, I forgot

. That movie seemed a lot like Crank- just a big excuse for violence.

It'll be madness.

No- Sparta.

I gave my two private lessons today and made $80, and they've signed up for next week too. Woohoo!!

I registered for one of the biggest dance events in this region that's coming up in a couple weeks. I used to attend every year, but then couldn't one year because I had a very ill family member, and then couldn't afford it the next year. I'm really excited about going back, and I've signed up to take a private lesson from my own personal hero Virginie Jenson.

*other dance stuff that probably won't make sense to non lindy hoppers*

300 and The Host come out next weekend WOOHOO!

Well, it is semi-based on true events, that had to be one of the coolest days in my history class when we talked about the battle of thermopoly... damn the spartans were badasses *Muses over Greek history rather than work on his APUSH homework even though it is... 1:26*

I went to a huge, empty expo center to do parkour today. We found all sorts of fun things to do.

Also I didn't have school today.

by **Lani** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:01 pm UTC

You do parkour? That's badass!

Also, I have seen my doom, and it is in the form of a Taco Shack opening up within a stone's throw of my office. Sweet jeebus I'm doomed, but what a way to go.

by **Grincement** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 6:18 pm UTC

I took a different route to school due to road closure....the detour is now going to become my regular route, it was so much fun!
It was like a rollercoaster

Yay for narrow, hilly country lanes!!

The first couple of weeks at school (this year was my first year driving), I took the straight route, and discovered that unless I wanted to arrive an hour early, I'd have to wait through a traffic jam, and I'd average about 5mph for the trip. So I decided to take a more roundabout way (on which I average 50 mph >_> ) and even though it's almost twice as long, I get there faster. And it's a nicer drive, too.

I wish I could ride my bike to work, but I'd have to cross two highways and other major roads. I can't believe we had a freeze last night!
