new england clam chowder

just some random thoughts and events from the last few days...

- snowboarding on saturday at a-basin was amazing. after it started snowing in the morning, the snow was perfect. it was cold, but still a lot of fun. it was especially fun to see paul fall...and it always seemed to happen whenever i said he was going to. quite amusing.

- it was a very weird trip back to omaha on sunday. first, i saw adam altrichter at the gate (not weird since he lives in colo), as well as libby and emily. then, i saw dan chipps standing a few feet away from me. so i started talking to him. then sandy walked up to the united desk at the gate. chipps went and talked to him for a few minutes. he made sure not to look at me nor aknowledge my existence. good for him. once we got to the aiport, we found nate, who needed a ride back to campus (which dan had offered me, and by default, adam, back in denver). then i got ahold of kevin, who i was originally intending on going back to campus with. we all piled into dan's explorer and then we were back.

- the dave concert last night was absolutely amazing. i can't say which concert is the best i've ever been to. i know which my favorites were with ozzy, but i can't really compare this one to any of those. the set list was decent. two step, what would you say, some songs from stand up, and some others...with everyday and ants marching finishing up the encore. the seats were the best i've ever had, except for the guy with the big head who was sort of in front of me. i was glad to see the drunk girl who tried to start a fight with me get kicked out. and i think i can safely say that brian and i enjoyed each other's company. ok, correction: i can say that for myself, but i won't be so arrogant as to assume that from his standpoint.

- i fell asleep in physics and biology today...oops. sorry, dr. duda.

- for a few hours yesterday, i thought i would be going to new york city this weekend, but that is not happening any longer. familial drama hath prevented it. and that's fine...i need to get papers, presentations, and studying done. as well as hanging out with the girls. someday i'll make it to new york...

- i had some interesting dreams last night. i wouldn't even know where to start in describing or explaining them. i've also had some weird flashbacks to memories ranging from last year up to six years ago recently. i don't know what that's all about either. we'll see what happens.
