Running Out Of Boxes

I would like to say that I hate how flight prices can change at any second and that this flight I was about to book increased by $30 because I hit back on the final stage since I didn't want a paper ticket and it better be cheap again tomorrow so that I can end up on the same flight as Ash.

Just A Few Minutes Too Late

I would like to have gotten to see this Fernando place just half an hour earlier because it's perfect and this other girl is gonna steal it from us because she got to see it first and is willing to move in Saturday and now I'm hoping something doesn't work out with her roommate or the credit check.

Another Day, Another Place

I would like to know why the lady for the Waverley place refused to call either me or Ash back when we expressed that we really liked it when we drove by.

Pool Partay

I would like to wish Polina a happy Pool Party Birthday and say that the housing hunt is still a struggle and I can't believe they raised the rate at Paul and Alexia's place by $500/month for us.

Mediocrity

I would like to say that we have seen lots of mediocre apartments and none of them are exciting to us but we may get stuck just picking one because we can't afford the nice expensive place above Subway.

Watch Repair Fail

I would like it if the watch repair center at Sears had better hours and I can't believe Tira watched Ponyo tonight.

One Shining Moment

I would like to say that I can't believe Hayward missed both of his final shots to give Duke the national championship over Butler and that although the new Jennifer Hudson version of One Shining Moment is much worse than Luther's, it was good to see Cornell make two appearances.

Rainy Easter

I would like to have stayed in Tahoe for one more day considering it rained all day and we didn't get to get our long ride in today and still barely were able to get ready to host our Easter dinner featuring a not properly heated spiral ham and gluey mashed potatoes because we spent so long working on Ash's finances.

Incredible Runs

I would like to declare that today was probably my best snowboarding day of the year in that I felt really good, the snow was incredible, and there were very few people on the slopes so we got tons of runs in all day.

Sorry Cinderella

I would like to thank Ash for trying to stay awake for the entire drive to San Pedro after Cornell's disappointing loss to Kentucky in the sweet sixteen after an incredible season.

Settlers of Stuffed Cabbage

I would like to say that Tim's kale pesto came out much better this time and his Stuffed Cabbage was reasonable and it's too bad I didn't get to play Settlers of Catan with him, JE, Sean, and Cho but I'm sure I will at some point.

Claimjumper

I would like to thank BSnow for providing us with an terrifically unhealthy silk pie dessert featuring trans fats after a delicious taco dinner provided by Ash.

Manversation Monday

I would like to say that JR, BSnow, and Panzer have an elaborate plan that I'm not sure will work but it would be quite hilarious if it did.

I would like to go snowshoeing again after my debut today in Truckee was pretty fun and the weather was absolutely gorgeous and I would also like to point out that Green Zone was a pretty good movie.

Corn Dogs

I would like to wish Sheets good luck tomorrow as she tries to conquer 20 corn dogs on her last day at Stanford.

Another Late Night

Bourbon House

I would like to say that ORS isn't that fun when you are hungover and have only slept for 4 hours and the alligator platter appetizer at Bourbon House was a big disappointment even though the rest of the meal was delicious.

Bourbon Faced On Shit Street

I would like to say that to go cups in New Orleans and the fact that the bars never close are a recipe for disaster.

I would like to thank Brandon for hosting the second annual OJ Taste Test that proved to Ash and I that we can't really tell the difference between various OJ's even though everyone else picked Odwalla.

Whiteman

I would like to say that I'm disappointed that Whitey didn't pull it together and make us all go rock out to Jovi tonight.

6 Hour Drive

Let It Begin

I would like to say that I'm pretty pumped about this weekend's epic Tahoe reunion planned by Ms. Hicks with special guests Petey Pablo, Wobbs, and Biagio and I'm glad to see that everyone was already in fine form by the time Emma, Andre, Ash and I showed up.

Happy Valentine's Day

Man Night: Patxi's Style

I would like to say that Tim's man night: Patxi's edition had a strong to quite strong showing of myself, Sean, Tim, JR, and Panzer even though the PBR's are now $2, happy hour is only M-R, and it was like family night since we were there from 5-7.

Congratulations!

I would like to congratulate my brother and Carolina on getting engaged this evening!

Successes All Around

They Say Rain So It's Sunny

The Glorious Pacific

I would like to say that although I still believe the restaurant is called Judochine, the food was alright and I left feeling extremely full for another night.

I would like to say that although I ran 4 miles with minor effects to my groin, it felt good to get my lungs working again and I think I may be on to finally getting rid of this virus.

I would like to officially destroy this virus that refuses to leave my computer but at least my presentation at lab meeting tomorrow got postponed and for the first time in my life Cornell basketball is ranked #25.

Getting My Money's Worth

I would like to say that even though the men only skied a half day today, it felt good because it was my fifth day this season so my pass is starting to be pure profit now and the tomato "sauce" BSnow and I made were delicious along with the man shakes we enjoyed with Tim.

Out Of Alti-Shape

I would like to try better to maintain my cardio levels as I take a few weeks off of soccer to let my groin heal as I felt pretty out of breath snowboarding today even though I finally feel as comfortable riding as I did at the end of last season.

I would like it if all this rain that convinced Sean to drive us to the lovely Lodge at Kingsbury Crossing in the SUC would turn into lots of fresh powder on the mountain tomorrow.

Wahoo's Fail

I would like to say that any attempt to hang out with Justen these days is a big failure but I'm glad Sean and Sabrina decided to come to Tahoe this weekend.

Just WTFing It

I would like to say that working from home was pretty good after coming back home from breakfast in Sausalito with dad and Ash.

Alumni Talk

I would like to say that I was impressed by both the attendance and response to Dad's lecture on green composites to the Cornell Alumni Association and that it was good to see him and enjoy Burma Superstar and the Cal Academy of Sciences despite the busted planetarium.

Virus Finally Defeated

I would like to say that the virus I got on my computer basically wasted about half of today as I tried to restore my internet functionality.

Black Mountain Peak Attempt

I would like to say that with Tim's guidance, Sara, Ashley, and I were able to successfully summit Black Mountain in the Monte Bello OSP after some birthday cookies.

Brunch Day

I would like to thank Abid and Shabnam for hosting a delicious brunch where we got to hang out with Meezahn, probably one of the smiliest babies ever.

Post Scotch Surprise Partay

I would like to wish Tim a Happy Beardthday welcoming him back(country) from Scotch Club with Monte Carlo Simulation results suggesting that there's a 0 to 93% chance that Tim = Man = 28 Years Old.

Swimming Soccer

I would like to say that it took me about 20 minutes to warm up my hands and feet after today's ride home in the pouring rain and that although I scored 2 goals in tonight's 5-2 loss, I should have scored 4 on that ugly swamp of a soccer field.

Wet Ass

I would like to thank my crappy rain pants for splitting at the seams this morning in the torrential downpour and requiring me to waste nearly $50 on a pair of crappy rain pants at REI this evening.

Power Outage

I would like to thank Jenny for texting me at 6:15 this morning to let me know the power was out on campus and saving me a rainy ride to be able to do absolutely nothing in my office for 3 hours.

Rain Rain Go Away

I would like to thank Sean for providing me with a rain-soaked ride to campus this morning on his birthday while he's still in sunny FL.

Long Drive Home

I would like to just go to bed early after eating my enormous pasta bake so that I've got ample energy for tomorrow's workout with Andy after a long ride home through the rain.

Finally Time To Relax

I would like to say that it felt good to hit the slopes today, and then hit the hot tub, and then eat a big meal and fall asleep mighty early to get some much needed rest.

Late Arrival

I would like it if we could sleep more but I'm hoping for small crowds and good snow tomorrow at Heavenly now that we are enjoying a studio at the Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort.

Roof Rack?

I would like it if Rack N Road has a Fat Cat 6 to put on Ashley's car tomorrow before we head up to Tahoe for the weekend.

Guido Is Good

I would like to thank Guido for not screwing me over and actually sending me the confirmation information for our room at the Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort for this upcoming MLK weekend after I paid him.

Quarantine

I would like to thank Ash for allowing me to enjoy the lovely horror movie Quarantine about rabid zombie people while she looked away for most of it.

Good Luck Surprise

I would like to say that I've never been to a surprise good luck party for someone before surgery but wish Leslo the best with her ankle surgery back home in Pittsburgh.

Finance Guru

I would like to wish Ash the best in her quest to gain better control of her finances despite us not going on a bike ride today.

Be A Man

I would like to say that I'm never gonna "try to catch up" on my bike while Ash goes for a run and that Tim's man night was definitely epic and full of GI Joe style comedy.

Happy Birthday Dad

I would like to wish Dad a happy 62nd and thank Ash for the delicious Thai dinner she "cooked" tonight.

Yep, They're Sore

I would like my legs to stop being sore and don't think that the 4 mile run with Ash helped that situation in anticipation of tomorrow morning's plyo workout.

Nearly Huge Upset

I would like to figure out how Cornell managed to lose that game to Kansas after leading for most of the game and would like to say that I can tell my legs are gonna be extremely sore tomorrow after my return to soccer highlighted by a goal and an assist.

Time to Get Back Into Shape

I would like it if my legs weren't as sore tomorrow as I have a feeling they're gonna be after today's return to the gym with a leg workout that was a rude reminder of my recent laziness.

Early Morning

I would like to thank my subject for arriving early and being very enthusiastic despite Barb's failure to confirm and remind his appointment.

Finally Home

I would like to enjoy sleeping in my own bed tonight for the first time in a while after finally returning to PA after a great winter break with Ash and friends.

Cramped Feet

I would like it if it took me less than half a day to get my snowboarding boots adjusted so that my feet aren't in excruciating pain but I still enjoyed a fine meal at the Lakeside after paying $5 to the hot tub Nazi.

Happy New Year

I would like to say that my snowboarding skills have become a bit rusty but I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and thank everyone for a spectacular 2009.
