Curlng is BACK and thensome.
I am in disbelief as the Washington Huskies are 2-1....for now. Next week is a whole new story and a whole new football game, but for now I will be satisfied even if the win was so-so. If you want to talk about bad-call drama--you should have watched the Oregon-Oklahoma game. Oy.
My friend Hassie can't make it to the OSU game on the 14th of October, and I of course can't make it to Homecoming Game (on the 28th of October) as I'll be in Hawaii--or rather flying to Hawaii at that time. I am actually really upset about this as I haven't seen her in a very very very long time (since she moved to Montana) and I want to hear all about her life in Montana. I'm also getting equally upset that I won't see a whole bunch of other folks as Homecoming generally draws a larger-than-normal crew for the game. For those of you who do read this blog you'd think I only have like 5 friends and that isn't true. When people move away to places like Alabama, Alaska, Montana, Illinois, Pennsylvania...hell even Renton it is a lot harder to say "Yo, come over for some pizza and the game". Ok no more pity-party for myself. I do miss my pals a lot. I guess Hassie not going to the game will make it that much more important for me and Chris to get our arses back to Montata for another steak at The Derby (see my earlier vacation post from Yellowstone; Butte, MT is a great place to visit!).
It hasn't been 6 weeks quite yet so we haven't heard back from the fine NEXUS folks. Curling ice is now here at the club so this past Friday was the first time I was on the new ice--VERY clear and it was admittedly odd to curl with a hack (that is where you put your non-sliding foot when you are delivering the stone) that wasn't buried in layers of ice. My right calf is a little sore from all of the stones, but it was WAY fun to get back out on the ice and see all of my curling pals again. Work has been..well, work. I got to see Yumi and Annelise for lunch a couple weeks ago, Annelise was so funny -- we met at Saito (great Japanese place on 2nd and Bell in downtown Seattle) and apparently she hasn't had a lot of exposure to Japanese cuisine so she was taking pictures of the food. Annelise is back in Denmark now (HI ANNELISE!!) finishing up her thesis.
And is 30 the new 20? What a hokey phrase. But now that 30 is approaching for me I'm not sure what to think. I don't feel 30 then again I haven't a clue if I'm suppost to feel different. I don't act different than I did a year ago, I wear the same clothes, blah blah blah. I know that I often think I'm not a real grown-up as I don't own anything of value. I don't own a house, I'm not married (yet), even my car--technically the title is with the bank that was kind enough to grant me a loan. With that logic do I own my masters degree as I'm still paying off the school loan for that as well. I'm having fun and no matter what I suppose that is the most important part of all. GO DAWGS!
