Sure feels nice to be on break. It makes sleeping at night that much better when there are no assignments or exams hanging over your head. Or the thought that your alarm is scheduled to wake you up in the morning, and is that thing really going to wake me. All those thoughts take a toll. There isn't too much to update you all with. The house is in good hands. In my short extended stint here, I have cleaned the place to give us a new look once everyone returns in January. No I'm kidding. But I did make a slight change in the furniture and removed a TV. That removal allowed us a place to keep the cable box and dvd player so we aren't deciphering between all the wires in the corner. I think it looks good. Only other topic to bring up are the red hot Blazers. They're allowing us to believe again. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas as the next blog will come after the holiday. Enjoy yourself through Christmas because after that it's time to hit it hard for the upcoming season. This is the year for the Warriors. And yea, I do mean Lewis and Clark State. Signing off.

As requested by my saviors, one more blog is required despite the embarrassment. Thursday night's quick trip to del taco for a late night snack turned into a drive up to Wilsonville. Sasquatch and I left to get some food as mentioned, and I opted not to take my keys, but still lock the door. It only took a block for me to realize what that meant for the rest of the night. Thankfully Kev and Beard have huge hearts and agreed to meet me and Sasquatch in Wilsonville to give me a key to the house. I could not thank them enough for being true friends. That includes Sasquatch who gave up his Thursday night to drive me around. Hopefully the rest of the break goes a bit smoother. Signing off.

Despite another week away from the blog, there isn't a bundle of information to relate to the readers. Last Friday and Saturday, me and Chuck went to the men's basketball games and met up with Flakey and Sasquatch. The men lost Friday to a good Montana team, and then beat a terrible Walla Walla team on Saturday despite all efforts to blow it. It'll be nice to see the coach get over his power trip and start the best 5 he has. Some items aren't worth discipline. Interestingly, I don't think Chuck and I have regained trust with Ponch (Roger) as he mugged us both the entire second half and out to my car. Some good news coming out of the house is that Chuck is considering coming out of retirement to give us another pitcher. We'll see on the 7th if he shows up or not. Some quality movies have been watched recently, including the likes of Mystic River, Good Will Hunting, and Stepford Wives. Monday we held our much anticipated christmas party with snacks and a white elephant gift exchange. Things could have been better, but the teammates have no interest in doing anything outside of studying. Lame. Attendance was poor at best. Following the party, Chuck, Beard, Kev, and I went out bowling in a classic 2 on 2 matchup. My bowling slump continued, but Beard picked me up and we were able to walk out with two wins. The pins are still a little shaken up from Chuck's punishment he dishes them. Today marked the official end of finals week so things are starting to clear out around campus. The weight room is finally manageable to lift in. Now we are all able to turn our focus onto next semester with a fresh start in our classes and end the school year with a bang. Also today, Beard led Corban College to another shot at a title, but in his efforts to do so, I upset him in the heisman trophy race. The voters finally recognized talent. Last week was a sad day in SI as Rick Reilley wrote his last article prior to his move. Things do look good for SI though as the new back page writer had a nice article that should have excited Chuck. I just hope Chuck got over the front cover and took a look inside this weeks. As everything has wound down for the christmas break, it is a good time to kick back and open up a book to read for your own enjoyment. I know I will as the house is quiet with everyone heading their separate ways. Also a note from Nitro, this would be far more enjoyable if there was feedback/comments to the blog entries. Or not. I wish everyone a safe drive back home and enjoy. Signing off.

It's been about a week's absence so there's a host of items to talk about. Since last week we have watched numerous movies in this house. Kev has a collection of manly movies so we watched A Walk to Remember and The Notebook on back to back nights. We turned it up a knotch with Transformers the following night. A couple of days ago, Kev and I watched The Wedding Planner and the family watched Fever Pitch last night. Movie marathon will conclude tonight and tomorrow night with Superbad and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. We decided to begin with some real tear jerkers and conclude with a couple comedies. Otherwise this week started off bad. Monday we lost our quarterfinals volleyball match that knocked us out of the tournament. Sad night around the house. We got over the loss Tuesday with watching half of the girls basketball game. Now that was some ugly basketball. Flakey performed well at the half-time festivities with knocking off Tool (Tyler Dean) in a 3-point shootout. Flakey has held true to his name lately with agreeing to email me his homework, but deciding later that night not to do it. Left me in a bit of a bind come class time. To follow that up, Flakey opted not to attend our Christmas gathering following an earlier commitment to be there. That's why we named him what we did. Yesterday, Pasta, Beard, and I went out to the Ram for dinner and to watch the WSU-Gonzaga game. The Cougars pulled out a tough win with some help from poor 'Zags shooting. And if you are ever at the Ram, do not order their Ram sirloin steak. Not worth putting their name on it. Beard assures you that the Monterey Chicken sandwich is worth ordering though. Otherwise it was a real boring day yesterday. One of the few times I wished I had homework. Today was another big dog breakfast followed by a sighting of a possible ant infestation. Beard and Kev have a bad habit of not cleaning their dishes, which creates a heavenly place for ants to feast. Our search for ant killer led us astray to Big Lots, which is a scary scary place. Other news, we got our uniforms today, and are looking forward to Christmas sweater chapel tomorrow. Until another time. Signing off.
