Finding contentment in a sh**hole world…

Ok, so my website got hacked last week, what fun. Doesn’t appear any damage was done, except for the index page was destroyed. I guess it’s a message to keep servers updated, even if they run on Linux and Apache. I talked to my host about it, and it looks like I may be moving to a different (read: up-to-date) hosting plan.

Holidaze So, I read a lot of blog entries bragging about loot people made off with. I might as well do the same. I guess I had to buy myself the best thing, a plane ticket to Minnesota to visit with a bunch of friends and family.
I got the new live Rage Against the Machine DVD I was so excited about when I heard it was going to be released, it’s pretty good!
Got the latest installment of the state quarters, in the form of a proof set, I’m not spending these, but money is always a bonus!
Besides the DVD, my parents gave me a Vikings jersey and some cash, so far it’s covered the cost of an ethernet crimping tool, and a few other DVD’s and some CD’s.
My brother got me a ticket to see the Vikings pound the Cardinals in Phoenix, but apparently the Cardinals didn’t know that was the game plan, and beat the Vikings in the last second.

The trip to Arizona was not for naught though, we got to walk by the Leinies brewery (it wasn’t open for lunch that day, but we could see the barrels), also got to see parts of Phoenix, Tuscon, and Tubac. Among the sights, we got a tour of BioSphere2 and took a shuttle through some canyon. Lots of cacti in Arizona!

Yea, after the Vikings lose, disappointing everyone in our family there, my Oregon Ducks play the MN goofers in the Sun Bowl (both my brothers and my dad are former gophers) and the goofers win. I hate sports.

Working I started working in the computing center last Thursday. It’s pretty ok. If not for the bazillion people who need their passwords changed every day, it’s pretty fun actually. I think I’m excited to get into the department and physically working with Macs. Should be a good job for me.

Ok, and the highlights of my week so far.. I went skiing at Willamette Pass yesterday, first time skiing in Oregon since I went to race camp in 11th grade, it was pretty cool. And.. I got a package from my Mom, containing one of the poticas I helped make over the holiday break. Mmmmm potica…

Well I think I’m pretty blogged out for a while, so it might be a while before I post again, unless I post again soon…

Hairy Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

So far my break has been enjoyable… Hit up $1 burger night at Snickers and played some PS2 (the new TMNT game) with some buddies, played street hockey with my neighbor, and did some skiing, drinking, and card playing with other friends, and had a nice Christmas with most of my family.

Hope you all had a warm and enjoyable holiday!

w00t!

Well “Winter Break” has been in effect for a little over a week now, and I’m enjoying it a lot. Got to go skiing all day Thursday, and probably going again on Monday and/or Tuesday.

Checked my grades online today, got a B in both my classes! I’m sporting a 3.0, and I’m really excited about that! I’m sick of hearing people whine about their GPA not being 4.0, it’s just sickening. 3.0 is an accomplishment for me, it’s the highest GPA I’ve had, and I worked hard for it, therefore I’m proud of it!

I think I might’ve mentioned that I might be racing in college this year, I’m not going to. Practices are *all day* tuesday/thursday, and that is hard enough to work a schedule around. The other factor is I’m new to the area and don’t want to have so much money tied up in a season pass to ONE ski area. Will probably look into it a little more next year.

I’m not sure why, but I’m stressing a little right now. I’m usually good at dealing with day-to-day stress, but I’m a little tense tonight. Hopefully I’ll get a bunch done tomorrow and start getting prepared for the future a bit. We’ll see. *sigh*
