So we had to get my roommate’s car towed tonight and for using my AAA card and giving him a ride home, I charged him beer– which put me/us over 6 kinds of beer in the fridge. This isn’t the first time there’s been such variety in the fridge here, but it is the first time it’s happened with a decent quality camera in the vicinity. The beers are, Leinenkugels Creamy Dark, Leinenkugels Original, Leinenkugels Red, Newcastle Brown Ale, Deschutes Black Butte Porter, and Weinhards Private Reserve.

They say you might be an alcoholic if you’re proud of how much beer is in your fridge. But hey, the Leinies needs to stretch through the end of football season. “Mmmmmm beer……..” </homer>

And another neato beer photo teh Trevor took. I have both of these images at quite high resolution, so just drop a note if you’d like either as a desktop quality image.

Well I got denied for the second time yesterday. I went to Portland on Tuesday for the IRC (Interinstitutional Residency Committee) meeting, and made my case. I guess it wasn’t convincing enough, as I found out I was rejected yesterday. I truely don’t understand how the number of credits I am taking can have any effect on my intentions of moving to Oregon.

I’ve been here a year, have been pursuing my career the whole time (via trying to obtain an education, [passively] looking for clients for both web-design and video, and gaining experience at my job (I really dig my job) and through my hobbies (web design, playing with computers on my own time, etc). I went skiing at 3 different Oregon ski areas last winter, and kayaking once this past spring. I’m a freaking Oregonian, dammit!

I’ve got about 9 days to submit my final written appeal to the Chancellor of the Oregon University System, and I’m in the process of outlining it now.

Work stuff: I’m also in the process of writing up a proposal for a modestly sized web design project. I really hope I get it, as it would be very valuable experience for me, as web design is something I enjoy doing, and is something I’ve been looking into for a source of income for quite some time. Yay!

Update (re: yesterday’s post): The water is back on, and my truck was still in the parking lot this morning. Yay!

Sunday I went up to Salem to watch Warren Miller’s Impact. This is an awesome film, some of the shots brought a tear to my eye. There are some emaculate mountains in this world that I would love to conquer. I watched the movie twice and scored 2 sets of (six!) ski tickets, the plan is for me and my brother an I to make a trip up to BC in the spring.

Tonight was the “pre-Warren Miller party” in Eugene, the local rock station was giving away some free shit. I scored a free lift ticket to Willamette Pass, a Rock NRQ t-shirt, and 2 Willamette Pass pencils. They had great food at the club too (expensive but tasty). I may try to go check out the movie in town tomorrow night, but it sounds like it might sell out.

On to some bizarre happenings around here. Apparently last night someone tried ripping off my truck! My neighbor let me know about it, thankfully they spooked the crooks and they ran away, hopefully they get busted soon. Apparently the same bunch ripped off another truck in this complex, but it had no gas, so they found the truck 2 blocks from here (sans-stereo system). So if you see some tall white guys… yea.

Also the water here is off. The water main blew today I guess, how does that happen? So if I start to smell, just keep to a safer distance or something.
