I believe OMan took some photos of ultimate, which I’m looking forward to seeing. I’ve brought my camera a few times, but end up never taking any shots because I’m having too much fun playing, so I’ve stopped. Maybe sometime in the future I’ll try again…

Saturday night, I went downtown to celebrate Gianni’s birthday. I should have brought my camera, but I forgot as I rushed out of the house. Doh! We went to Roy’s which was pretty good then I went home feeling like I possibly contracted OMan’s cold. I slept through a good part of Sunday and woke up feeling better. My Seattle cough might be gone too!

Went home for dinner and Oriana made some molten lava cake which was pretty good. Thanks, littlest sisterface. =)

Sometime during the weekend, I rediscovered the following and was pleased. Perhaps I should be ashamed, but I am not. =)

“I never thought that I could be so satisfied,
Everytime that I look in your angel eyes.
A shock inside me that words just can’t describe,
And there’s no explaining.
There’s something in the way you move, I can’t deny,
Every word from your lips is a lullaby.
A twist of fate makes life worth while,
You are gold and silver.

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head, but then
POP! Goes my heart.
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again, but then
POP! Goes my heart.
And I just can’t let you go,
I can’t lose this feeling.” – Hugh Grant (?)

And here’s Al’s:

I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D and I enjoyed it more than the first (at least because my high expectations weren’t crushed)… probably wouldn’t see it a third time though. =)

Some BV and related folk came over on Saturday night and we played Mr.Bacon’s Big Adventure, which turned out to be pretty much like Candy Land, and a few other games in addition to that. Wrapped up the night with a visit to Jim’s which has solidified the realization that caffeine is actually doing things to me now. That’s something new for me to get used to…

On Sunday, went to Vox, then watched the USA/Canada game (grats, Canada). Took the doggies back up to Round Rock (was taking care of them while mom/sister were visiting Dallas) and now I’m just chilling at the parents’ with Oriana…

Here are some pics from a BV game night at my place on Thursday:

Tiff cleaning my sink (Yay! … and she’s crazy!):

Update: Eric made a great video montage of game night!

Okay, this post is late, I know. I’m sure all of you know it snowed yesterday. Well, did you know what my backyard looked like? Probably not!

Now you do!

On snow day, BV closed the office early, so Ryan and I went home at around 1PM. Later, I took a break from working at home and went to play some frisbee in the snow. YES, SNOW FRISBEEEEEEEEEE. Needless to say, that was quite awesome and I froze my hands, battered my shins some more, but had a lot of fun. Now I just need it to pour… then we can have POURING RAIN FRISBEEEEEEEEEEEEE…

In other news, Sam apparently has no idea how a machine dishwasher works and decided to put a bunch of palmolive hand dishwashing liquid into the machine instead of using the huge box of Cascade I have under my sink (you know, where everyone puts their dishwasher detergent). The next day, I opened it and was greeted with a bunch of bubbles and unclean dishes.

I’ve also grown a liking to bothering my sisters online…

[random though of the moment] it is 6:30 am, sun is not up. looks at Oliver.
thinks: hhmm… too bad Oliver is not a girl , or else we could go see the sun
rise together. two guys watching the sun rise is just gay. [/ random thought]

Apparently Sam used to watch me sleep and wish I was a girl so he could share a sunrise with me.

I also explained to a Chinese boy what asl meant then proceeded to say I was from the UK and he should mind the gap.

“Highway run into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You’re on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire” – Journey

Anyways, Thursday, a group of BVers + Sam and I went to the Love Bites sing-along at the drafthouse. It was pretty amazing. Unfortunately, I’m not over the cough I picked up from the cold I caught in Seattle, so belting out to the likes of Journey, Queen, etc. did not help. I toughed it out though through a bunch of cough drops and tea and had a blast. IMO, one of the best, if not the best sing-along they’ve got (that I’ve been to, at least).

Today, had a great game of ultimate where Al joined us again after finishing his marathon last week. I managed to scrape up my knee a bit, but I purchased pads for my cleats that helped a bunch in preventing my shins from busting again. Mikey got banged up quite a bit by getting pelted with the frisbee a few times on this arms, and face… then he jammed his thumb into Mark. Maybe I’ll start cataloging all of our frisbee injuries… =)

Spent the latter part of today napping and cleaning… that’s it… for now. =)

“In a field of yellow flowers,
underneath the sun,
bluest eyes that spark with lightning,
boy with shoes undone.
He is young, so full of hope,
reveling in tiny dreams,
filling up, his arms with flowers,
right for giving any queen.

Running to her beaming bright,
while cradling his prize.
A flickering of yellow light,
within his mother’s eyes.
She holds them to her heart,
keeping them where they’ll be safe,
clasped within her very marrow,
dandelions in a vase.” – Five Iron Frenzy

Here are some pics from Sunday, when Al ran his first marathon!

Ryan had an “accident:”

Yay, London Lad!

Here’s my sign, which I don’t think Al liked that much:

I’m sure he liked Meagan’s more:

For the rest of Sunday, I cleaned up a good chunk of my house which was long overdue for vacuuming, then took a nap in my tauntaun. Went to dinner with Sam, then chilled for a while with him and Ryan before going to sleep again only to wake up two hours ago… and here I am.

I spent way too long trying to find lyrics to put here… but alas, they have been found!

“Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes – it’s a duck blur
You might solve a mystery or rewrite history

Duck Tales, Oo-oo
Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tales, oo-oo

D-d-d-danger, watch behind you – there’s a stranger out to find you
What to do? Just grab onto some Duck Tales, oo-oo!
Not pony tails or cotton tails but Duck Tales, oo-oo!” – Mark Mueller/Disney

Did you know that Mark Mueller wrote the Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers theme song as well? That guy is awesome. Okay, time to try to sleep again…
