Jared: “I could totally see you doing this:”
And yes, OMG I want to do that. Makes me wish we got more than .5″ of snow in town here!

Thrift Store Finds: $5 Slalom Shin Guards
It’s been a long time since my high school alpine ski racing days, but it seems like I get a chance to bash some gates every now and then. I always regret it though when my shins/knees get bruised up, and my snow pants get torn sometimes. This past Friday, I found a pair of “like new” Scott shin guards at Value Village on Centennial Blvd.. Only cost me $5! They aren’t brand new, show some signs of being packed around or possibly worn, but they don’t look like they’ve hit a gate yet.
Can’t wait to get the chance to break them in… I love bashing slalom gates!
Skiing last weekend.
Went skiing a week and a half ago to Anthony Lakes (Eastern OR). We left Wednesday night and stayed with my former roommate in Thedalles, continued on early morning for Baker City for a dip in the hot tub, and a live band at a local brew pub. Good nachos, good beer, so-so music. Skied Fri, Sat, Sun, and drove back Monday. Skiing was good, driving was meh. Hotel had free wired internet.
And I think I’ve come down with a case of senior-itis. 6 years into college will probably do that to a person. Granted I haven’t taken much of a full course load (averaging probably 10-11 credits a term). But I feel more apathetic towards my academics now than I normally do 8 weeks into Spring term. What can I say? Blah.
I applied for the Digital Arts program again earlier this month. If I don’t get in this time, I don’t know what I’ll do. I can’t recall how long the review process was last year. I just want to know now (and I want a positive response this time).
I blame my sweetie for my lack of blogging this last YEAR. I tried getting her to blog more, and that spurred I think one post on her decrepit LiveJournal(tm). On the brighter side, I love her more than anything, and she has been most helpful inspiring me to stay in this color theory class and actually doing some of the projects with me. I’ve got something like 5 paintings to get done for tomorrow though, so…. oh yea.. BLAH.
I’m not sure what else to say other than “blah.”
