Movies, Movies, and more Movies...
So far, if I can remember them all, here is a depressing list of movies I've viewed since I've been home:
*Night at the Museum
*The Omen IV
The Thomas Crown Affair
*Snakes on a Plane
28 Days Later
Rambo
*Rocky Balboa
The Jerk
Mystery Science Theater 3,000 (the movie)
The Hills Have Eyes
The Breakfast Club
*South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Ratatouille
The Persuit of Happiness
Borat
Gladiator
*The Assassination of Jesse James
*Twilight
* - means I haven't seen them before
I miss having a rec. center 200 yards from my place at ship. I feel so cooped up around here, but I'm not getting a gym membership for less than a month. Can't run or bike outside, just a bit too cold now (about 40 degrees is ok, but not 28...). Can't do any leg work outs other than holding my lab (Chelsea) and doing squats, but she gets tired of that after about 20 seconds... ha ha. So I'm stuck in a rut.... help!
BTW... I was actually pleasantly surprised when I went to go see Twilight. I'm usually not big on those types of movies, "Fad" movies I like to call them, (like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc...) but I thought this one was really good. They may have done better in picking a slightly prettier girl to play the lead, but she was cute... and good for the role. And don't tell anyone, but I am secretly obsessed with the Cullen's house and Edward's wardrobe in the movie... ha ha. That would be livin' the dream, switching places with him if that was all real... without the whole vampire thing of course.

Coffee and The Office
So I was at Wal-mart yesterday and decided to get my own Coffee maker. $20, 4cup maker and I'm not gonna lie, I'm really excited to use it more often! The heck with wasting all my flex money at Starbucks, and it's just as good! Need to get some half/half milk though...
So with my coffee tonight, I watched The Office as well. I have been liking the show more and more. I would recommend it... I like clever, subtle real life comedy, not so much in your face slapstick comedy. (although Jeff Dunham and Lewis Black are hilarious). I think my 2 favorite office characters are Stanley and Jim... because they are so sarcastic and don't give in to all the awkward rediculousness of the rest of the characters. (I may have just made up a new word)...
Anyways, having a good night, just in the mood to share.
Rain, Rain, Go Away....
Sill contemplating building a cross bike or buying a mountain bike this summer... hmmmmmmm
My friend Elliot has a nice <$600 Raleigh mountain bike and I really enjoyed riding it around for a little while one day... but there are lots of options, especially when bike shops are trying to get rid of last years models... hmmmmmmmmm If I go the mountain route, definitely thinking hardtail, but not sure yet... because I could ride it more, but I could build a cross bike and race in the fall... but I couldn't go out and just ride that every day in the mountains.... hmmmmmmmmm

Christmas Goodies!!!
Finally, some feet protection. My last few rides my toes have literally been numb, not fun...
Also, this awesome jacket (in blue though) for cold rides... last time I rocked dad's green army jacket and an Arab scarf. (absolutely no style points)... or Euro-Trash as Dr. Goates would say! ha ha. I think I still may wear a scarf, kept my neck really warm... I'm gonna get a black/white one though....
And finally, for Racing Season... NEW TIRES!!! Hutchinson Fusion 2 Folding!!!! I've never had folding tires, always wire rim, but I've read they are a bit better. I got the black/grey/red... that will look great with the red accents on my bike and the new SU Cycling Kits! I'm so pumped for racing season... I may not be or look the best, but I'm gonna give it my all!
So all I really need is a new scarf and maybe some handlebar tape... I really like the natural cork tape Dr. Goates has on his Tarmac. Looks classy, yet hard.... don't know how to describe it, but I like it.

Mosy Ship Students Don't Drink and Drive
I added a self updating graph of distances/average mph of all my outdoor bike rides to my cycling log. (the totals of the weeks rides are also included... no, I don't go out for a 70mile ride weekly) This is for a week of September and all of October so far...

New Wheels!!!
music and such...
Lately, I have been listening to Angels and Airwaves a LOT! Especially their album, I-Empire. Their sound is different, still rock though, but I really like their stuff... for lack of a better word. I'm usually not a fan of lyrics that don't make any sense, but the main lyrics of their song are really good and do make some sense (although overall, I don't understand their whole album). I also like them to because you can tell it is the lead singer from Blink 182, but they have a totally different sound.
Other new music that I found recently and have been listening to and would recommend are:
(Alternative Rock)
On Letting Go - by: Circa Survive
Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends - by: Coldplay
"You Are The One" & "Le Disco" - by: Shiny Toy Guns
(Hip Hop)
Year Of The Gentleman - by: Ne-Yo
"Whatever You Like" & "Live Your Life" - by: T.I. (slowly becoming my new fav. rap songs)
"Right Now (Na Na Na)" - by: Akon

I want...
I'm a "Blogger"???
Also, as awesome as Facebook is, there is only so much you can do. I love looking at pictures and talking to old and new friends, but you can't really rant or write a lot. This is a good outlet.
So yea, I'm sitting in my room, 2:00am, listening to some Coldplay, after a crazy Marching Band Day! and tomorrow will be fun as well with Brass Ensemble and KKY! Now, holy crap. Of all times, our neighbors decide to come back and blast loud rap music and yell! Nicccce.
