Weekly Update

Hey everyone,

thought I'd give you a taste of what's going on during winterim here in platteville. For starters, each day save one, Phil and I have gone to the PAC, known to non-Platteville students as the Pioneer Activity Center, to play a few games of basketball to get in shape and get out of the room to delay certain bordem. Well, all week phil has been beating me. At first it was a horrible beating, but then i gradually got to being close games. Finally today I beat him! That was just awesome. See i usually i beat his butt really good, but i've been rusty all week and in very poor shape. The world is returning to order.

Each night this week phil and I have also gotten more and more bored. for example: Last night phil decided to take up about 2 hrs of our time be experimenting with his new digital camera's video function. so he made about a dozen or so videos where i'd be sitting on the futon bored as hell and he'd start asking me questions. Some were quite funny, others were just plain dumb.

The greatest accomplishment of the week thus far, in my mind at least, has been that phil informed me that the TV Services dept. on campus says that the biology dept is "dumb and stupid." I now have some more ammo when tourmenting v'ka since she is a biology major. hehe :)

I finally got ahold of doug and asked him about if he wanted to still join Matt and I on our now anual trip to see a Cubs game at Wrigley Field during the summer. Matt and I were going to get 4 tickets from my Uncle and ask some people to join us along the way, but Doug was the first person to tell us that he was interested in comming. The only other people who I can think of that have interest are Sarah and Ann. Ann recently told me that she wanted to come along, and Sarah told someone apparently late last year. I dont know if Sarah's interest was actually expressed or not. Either way I know it'll be a good time in Chicago again. :)

Lastly for tonight, I think i have figured out why i've become so fond of music from when I was in middle school and before (music before like halfway 1998 or so). That was just before my life got flipped upside down from my father's passing. I'm assuming that's why at least. I find that sorta odd, but comforting at the same time, what do ya'll think?
