Buddy's Ramblings
January 29, 2010: Results from the climbing comp are up! They only scored me 1350 even though I had 1958.. wassup with that??! If they're scored it correctly I would've totally done much better in my category. Too bad that category is, once again, "women's beginner". :|
Been climbing a couple more times since then.. feels so good to be climbing regularly again!! Very happy! Other than that, went for a short hike (my first since the ankle breakage), Char and I made our own zip-up chalk bags (which work well), made a yoga mat holder for my roommate..
Tonight I'm to a friend's art show and then off to see another friend's band play -- living it up in the big city!
January 22, 2010: Went to see a high altitude & medicine lecture at Stanford the other night. Pretty fun. Mostly stuff I already knew but with a few new tidbits of info, good review too!
Did a bunch of sewing last night too! Think I got the basics of sewing machines down.. I'll post a photo of what I made later.
January 19, 2010: I've been up to stuff.. totally intended to update this.. now what have I been doing?? :|
Went climbing twice last week and once so far this week. Nice to see a bunch of climbing friends again.. and feel like I'm not quite the weak baby I was (although that's probably all in my head since I haven't been that often yet). Anyhow hit-up PG Sunnyvale last night and crawled up a few 10's.
Went to see Avenue Q on the weekend -- quite funny! Also ran into a friend there... before the musical had lunch with a couple friends at a nice little italian place (which claimed to have "world famous" bread; it was pretty good).
Saturday night a friend (waaaaay out in Livermore) had a party, so made the commute out there (and it was worth the effort). Had a chance to play more Super Mario Bros Wii (super crazy with 4 players) and to refresh my Rock Band skillz.
In a blast from the past played some Lazer Tag this weekend too! Surprisingly fun (especially when my team finally won a game)..
In TV news I've started: Corner Gas Season 2 (for Charlene), Invader Zim (also for Charlene), Heroes Season 3 (for me and Erik), True Blod Season 1 (for me and Erik) and about to start Mad Men Season 2. SO MUCH TV SO LITTLE TIME!
January 9, 2010: So after reading this article I decided to do a little Pi programming myself... turns out my web server won't let me compile using gcc so they forced me to do it in PHP and really bog down their servers! Haha. So here you go, pi to 150 decimal places (up to 2000)...
Watched the DOA movie the other night.. gosh it was bad.. but in an enjoyable way. :P
Didn't do too much this week (aside from working).. been fighting off a cold and both Charlene and Erik are sick.. though I didn't manage to make it out for drinks with work folks the other night. It was my first time to Sofitel all year! But yeah, it's been a while since we'd gone there.. while expensive you can't beat the location..
January 7, 2010: EARTHQUAKE!
Sorry about the lack of updates... trip home was fun! Especially enjoyed the -23C weather (no I really did!), though I didn't complain too much when I flew back to Cali where the weather was 60F warmer! No pics this year (my camera's broken) but here's what I did:
- Scott's birthday party (once again at The Brass)
- went to Ottawa and saw my relatives (a little unimpressed when the cousins were surprised that "old people" use the term "pwned" as well :/ )
- saw the Body Worlds exhibit.. like most of it, but found the posed plastinated bodies somewhat distateful
- saw the King Tut exhibit.. liked this one!
- visited Marc and spent a night in Welland. Finally played Link's Crossbow Training which I enjoyed
- New Years with most of my univeristy friends (warning: old picture)
- flew back home (luckily with my laptop (or they wouldn't let me bring my carry-on) and with an extra pat-down before the gate)
