• 12/29/04 (8:16 PM): iPod is working and rocks me over and over. I'm using my mom's Bose headphones and it's safe to say I can't hear anything outside my tune. Bliss. Now I'm just ripping all my CDs so I can put those on my iPod too. I still have not installed the monitor I got. That will be the next project after I finish ripping and getting my laundry done and put away. Also got all my Christmas crap back to storage and my car cleaned.

  How was Christmas you wonder? Shitty, worse ever I'd say. Other than the excellent gifts. We fought the whole holiday and then Christmas night we all puked and shit our brains out. Nothing like the Flu to wipe out a whole family. I must have thrown up at least 20 times over a 8 hour period. I'm better now, but damn that was rough.

• 12/25/04 (5:54 PM): Merry Christmas! Finally, it's over... too much stress, not enough time this year. Got my iPod!

• 12/16/04 (11:32 PM): The reformat went smoothly. The first time ever for my machine... nothing is easy with this box. So, I finally got my family calendar done since I got the program I needed to work again. I also got my Christmas cards in the mail (most of them). I still have more shopping to do and my room and car to clean.

  Had hockey last night. It sucked. My skates were butchered by Play It Again Sports and I could not skate at all. NO edges what so ever. So, I had the rink there do it and they were better, but still not great. Now I have to visit Locker Room sports to get them better again. I was disappointed because I really wanted to play and couldn't skate. I have trouble skating on my own, I didn't need shitty skates hindering me further!

• 12/13/04 (6:47 PM): Just to let you all know, I'm reformatting my computer. I've never done it before, so if I fall off the face of Cyber earth... you'll know why.

• 12/11/04 (10:37 PM): Back from my day. Rochester to my cousin Delaney's second birthday party... then to Syracuse for the SU game. Syracuse killed Binghamton. I do not like basketball as much as hockey... and I played Basketball. Oh well, it was an OK game. However, how can you go to a stadium of 21300 people and sit two rows behind people from Clyde. Honestly. Sometimes you don't want to be recognized and you just want a night to blend in. Oh well.

• 12/09/04 (10:12 PM): Just got back from choir practice. It always goes so late at Christmas time. Last night was the Chamber Holiday Party and IGNITE after hours. We had a good time! There were not as many people as I had hoped for at after hours, but I know there was a lot of conflict with other events. Now we have to start planning our official "release" event... any good ideas? I suggested ice skating, but I don't think everyone will come :( I need to get more skating in, I have another game on Wednesday and this weekend is packed with stuff already! Craziness. I'm so damn tired. I was so sick this morning, wine does that to me. I threw up 5 times, made working very enjoyable. Then I ate the magic drunken/hung over meal... Ramen. I'm sorry, but when I'm sick the only thing that stops me from puking is Ramen. I do not know why that is, but it's a life saver! Oh, I finally got my package from Victoria Secret... yea, more bras! They were desperately needed.

• 12/07/04 (9:41 PM): I finally got the package I was waiting for. Here's a Bryan original, carved from driftwood, a good luck charm for my car. Isn't he awesome!

  

• 12/07/04 (8:40 PM): Chris came down to Auburn to hang out last night. I always love seeing my friends. Lydia and I watched Mystic River with him. The movie was really good, but they threw some crap in at the end that was unnecessary. Lydia got to meet 6 of my friends this week, busy week! Tomorrow we have another IGNITE (the group I'm helping to form) gathering. Very informal. If you are going to be in the Auburn area tomorrow around 7:30 PM, you should drop by Curley's and have a drink with us. Click here to read the article in the paper about it this past Saturday, it's a PDF file. I made the invitation for tomorrow's event:

  

• 12/05/04 (1:51 PM): Oh, what a night I had. Lydia and I got some greatly needed shopping done. I got my skates sharpened, and got brand new shin guards, gloves, laces, and blade covers. I took care of getting my RIT sweatshirts finally and picked up a christmas present or two along the way. We then ate at Panara Bread (yum) and went to the RIT hockey game with Bret. Luckily Rob and Andrey saved us seats, because it was packed. After the game we went to the movies and saw closer. It was OK, not sure how I really felt about it. It's kinda a plot-less movie about people and how they act. After the movie I said Good-Bye to Bret and Lydia and I headed over to hang out at Riker's house, which then ended up with going to a bar. After the bar we went back to his house and hung out. He performed for us, which is always a treat. We got back SOOO incredibly late. I did get to sleep in a bit, but got rudely awakened as always around here.

• 12/04/04 (9:26 AM): Went to the Hobart game vs. RIT last night. It ended in a tie, which is most unfortunate. The Hobart rink is FREEZING by the way. The one side of the rink is completely open, so it's cold. After the game I showed Pat and Lydia the highlights of the country... exciting stuff. They got to see River Rd., Spooky Hallow, the Spring, and we even went deer spotting... that's the hick life for ya. Not exactly sure what's on my agenda for today. I hav to go to Play it again sports, Maybe RIT student store, maybe the Hockey game at RIT... who knows.

• 12/02/04 (10:34 PM): Had hockey last night. Was great much fun. I'm much better now that I was before, but now I can skate a little better. Still having troubles stopping and turning to shoot, but it'll come with time. The ladies I play with are super patient and they said I improved a great deal. One of the refs kept laughing his ass off at me. I told him I was a beginner, he said "at least your smiling." Why wouldn't I be? I was playing Hockey!! I get back so late from the games though, so tonight I'm beat! Tomorrow I get to see Pat who is driving to Geneva to watch the RIT game with me. Then I might head to the city on Saturday, but I'm not sure. I also have to make it to a Play It Again Sports because my skates need sharpening and I need shin guards. The ones I've been using are far too long and they make skating very difficult.
