Day three.

Today would have been awesome, but it rained. At least we got 9 holes in at Eastern Avenue Park in Davenport. It's disappointing because it seemed like a great course. More importantly, though, is the fact that after those 9 holes, I was winning by one throw. Just saying.

So we saw I Love You, Man. It was a very funny. We were wondering why it was rated R, so we figured it was either because of boobs or the F-bomb. It was the latter. Because the first one happened so close to the beginning of the movie, I decided to count them. 56 F-bombs. I'm not complaining because I don't mind it at all, but I thought it was kind of funny.

After the movie, we got some food and drove across the state to Indianola, where we are now. We had a little trouble finding my aunt and uncle's house, but we got here. Now we're chilling out in their basement, hoping the weather is nice here tomorrow. At least one of the courses near here is supposed to be awesome, so we're looking forward to it.

Oh, I also ate at Chick-fil-a twice today. Yes!

Later, dudes.

Day two.

Today we played another 54 holes in a couple more cities. That puts us at 108, which seems crazy. We're staying in a Super 8 in Davenport, IA tonight and hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow. We have to check out of here by 11am, which kind of sucks, because we were planning on sleeping in if it rains. So... hopefully it doesn't rain.

Douglas Park in Springfield, IL was our first today. It was short and pretty easy. There were also a few homeless people hanging around, which was kind of depressing.

Second was Lincoln Park, also in Springfield. This one was fun and a lot longer. I beat Justin there, which is a nice change.... Then we went to Dick's Sporting Goods in Springfield and we bought new discs to fill the spaces we felt we were lacking.

The final course for today was in Peoria, IL. It was Bradley Park, and the front 9 kind of killed us. The pack 9, however, was great fun. I had some really amazing throws on that stretch, including what was almost a skip-in ace, but I also have nothing to show for it given the fact that Justin kept up on most of those holes.

Tally after today:
Justin: 376
Grant: 395

I've more or less accepted the fact that I'm going to lose.

Also, these giant Cheetos are what the name implies.

Day one.

First day of the disc golf tour is over, and it went pretty well. We woke up a little later than planned, but we played 18 in Bolivar to kick things off, then we headed to St. Louis. We played at Creve Coeur Lake Park (which I misspelled on Twitter) first. It was a pretty long course, but it was good fun, and we played decently.

Then we went over to Endicott Park, which was mostly just frustrating. Justin hit about a hundred trees, but I somehow managed to thread some needles over and over again. If it weren't for my deperessing quadruple bogie on the 12th hole, I would've won the course by 3. Meh.

Now we're in Springfield, IL, at a Motel 6 being lazy. I'm hoping my shoulder isn't too sore in the morning, and also that the weather will be as great as it was today. We're not sure where we'll play tomorrow, but the choices in Springfield are Douglas Park and Lincoln Park. We'll also head north to Peoria and play one of theirs on the way up to Davenport, IA, where we're sleeping tomorrow.

After one day, here are our total throws on 54 holes:
Justin: 195
Grant: 208

Frick, that seems like a big gap. Guess I should work on closing it tomorrow.

Later, dudes.

Justin has limited glasses.

At least as far as clean ones are concerned. So this is what I'm drinking from.



Here's another, because I don't have much to say except that I'm ready for next week's Ultimate Disc Golf Tour.

A little disc golf update.

Today was a great day for iPhone users, but I'm not talking about that.

Here's a screenshot of the potential courses I've marked for the disc golf tour:



Plus the one down in Bolivar at SBU, which will probably both open and close the tour.

Three states, five days. It kicks off on Sunday. Let's hope I don't hate this game by the time spring break is over.

Later, dudes.

Monday, March 16, 2009

This is the week before spring break.

Therefore, this is me in class. I pretty much look this way in class regardless of the week, though.



Oh, and I just found out that my grade on my Linear Systems 2 test from two Fridays ago was the lowest in the class. I'm pretty sure that's never happened to me before. What an achievement.

Guess I'll pay attention now. Later, dudes.

Sunday, March 15, 2009

I like animated gifs.

At least on occasion.

I just made this one. The pictures were accidentally so similar that I couldn't not animate it, just like this one of me and Matt.



That's about all I've got. Later, dudes.

This is home.

Today I set my drums up again. The configuration is different than it was last time, but it's similar to the way it was back in high school when I played in that band with my friends. The hardware is old, and a lot of it is falling apart, but these things are at least a thousand times more fun than the Rock Band drums I've become accustomed to.

I already put this on Twitter, but here's a picture. I think my little China cymbal stuck up in the air is kind of funny.



Good stuff. Tonight I'm going to go hang out with those friends I mentioned earlier.

Later, dudes.

Spring recess has begun.

I just spent like 2 hours trying to get iChat and AIM to play nice with video. They still don't get along. If you've fixed this issue, please please please tell me how you did it on Twitter, or send me an email.

This is how Justin and I look after giving up. He gave up several hours ago, though, and has been playing WoW since then.



So anyway, I followed that guy on Twitter that I was told to on Jimmy Fallon's show. Pretty crazy how many followers he got in one day. He said he had 7 when they talked to him on the show, and as of right now he has 18,732. Fricking big boost.

I'm off to Lee's Summit tomorrow.

Later, dudes.

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

My pants got soaked.

So I took them off, and now they're in the dryer. As you can see, I'm okay with that.



I've studied a lot today, and I feel like with a little more tonight, I'll do okay on my test tomorrow. Then I can get the eff out of here and go home.

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Studying makes me crazy.

I think I'll stop and eat dinner. Ignore the fact that it's after 11pm.

This is the picture I came up with, but that pencil isn't really going to be my meal.

I finally got a haircut.

So I felt like I should put up a picture, since I put up two or three complaining about my hair being too long. Here it is:



Anyway...

Last night I watched Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist again, and I still loved it. Great movie. Watch it.

I should get on this disc golf road trip thing that my friend, Justin, and I are planning. It goes down in a couple of weeks, and we have a rough estimate of what we want to do. Here's an approximate route. I'll probably post a ton of pictures and things like that during that trip.

Considering I have very little money at the moment, Matt and I are thinking about Skyping me over to Bolivar for the next episode of SAP. We'll see how well that works out.

Last but not least, a video by Kate Micucci, that awkwardly cute ukulele player that's been on a few episodes of Scrubs. Somebody reminded me of this last night, so I might as well throw it in here.

Later, dudes.

Probably something.

That title doesn't really make sense, does it? Meh.

Today was not your typical Monday.
  1. Skipped Power Systems to study for Linear Systems quiz, which could've gone better....
  2. Skipped Electronic and Photonic Devices to study for Linear Systems lab midterm, which went okay....
  3. Thought Art Appreciation was canceled, but got a text from Joey 5 minutes before it started, asking if I was going to show up. I was about to do my Power Systems homework with some friends, but I guess that will wait until tomorrow now.
  4. Art Appreciation teacher told about how he used to be a marine sniper and has 84 confirmed kills, and also how a little girl's foot came off in his hand once. (You can ask about that one.)
  5. Listened to Death Cab and shivered a little on my balcony for a while because it felt good.
Now I'm having some rooibos and waiting for Lee to get home so we can watch the usual Monday night TV shows.

Last, but not least... I still haven't had my hairs cut.



Later, dudes.

Crappy stuff today.

Linear Systems 2 quiz in about an hour, and Linear Systems 2 lab midterm at 3. At least my art class is canceled.

As for now, I'm studying for that quiz.
