anyone want to fly home from vegas?

i am SERIOUSLY considering flying home from vegas...it would be around $150 - if anyone else feels like joining me on 1/1/07 then let me know. i plan to book the flight sometime this week...and just in case you're wondering, the flight times to go home are 3:00, 6:20 and 7:35 (and i'll probably book 3:00)...the flight is an hour.

the advantage to this would be that if i get home before you guys, i can drive to long beach and pick up people who need a ride home

so give it a thought...i'm going to book by friday (if indeed i do plan to fly). =)

Tomorrow is right around the corner...

Hey all,

Thanksgiving is coming up and I hope you all will be spending time with your families and feasting upon turkey. Sometime during the 4 days of thanksgiving weekend though, we need to plan a get together. It's the only time Kim and I, (I'm presuming you're flying back for Thanksgiving Kim) will be around at the same time and that time is short, we need to pick a day to get together and soon. It would probably also be wise to post-up your wishlists!!!

Are we doing Secret Santa's again this year? Anyway, I'll probably be back in town for winter break for about 2 weeks. Maybe from the 17th of December to the 2nd of January. Sadly, I will only be in Vegas a day or two this year. I wouldn't miss your b-day Pat so I'll definitely be there the 28th, and I'll probably leave the next day.


To Kress and Rodel: Congratulations you two! ^_^ 9 years!

To Pat: Hey Pat, it's good to hear from you and nice to know you've been trying new things. I've been keeping up with Lost as well. If you're really bored I can post up an anti-boredom list for you. Although for some reason, I have a feeling the Wii will be eating up a good chunk of your time for the next week or two. You usually go off the deep end when you find something new to do =) Don't worry, I'll be playing too. You're always welcome to visit me too. If you like you can stay with me for about a week during the beginning of the new quarter in early december. I'd be happy to show you around.


To Kim: It seems you've been enjoying cooking lately =) I don't think it's weird to want that knife either. The Kitchen Aid Breast Cancer Awareness Chef's Santoku, am I right? Excellent for chopping. I'd like an awesome knife set myself but that'll have to wait. I've been doing some baking too but it's nothing fancy, just pre-made brownie mix from Costco. I hope school and life are going well. Your birthday is coming up so fast too!

To Lisa: Hare Dresser? Are you trying to celebrate Halloween and Easter at once? I kid, I kid.

i have problems.

is it weird that i want this?

9 years!!

happy anniversary to my boo...9 years today!! =) we will be distributing pictures shortly..and they were good this year!

Any Saturday Plans?

We should all do something Saturday, if anyone is free. I have been trying to spend time on other things than WoW, but I'm quickly running out of things to do. MySpace whore? Check. Watched Lost season 2 and the current ones for 3. Got a handle on my email spam situation (thank you gmail).

Anyways, how does Anjin sound?

It's Paaaaaarty time!!! =)

It's that busy time of year again people!!! =)

So...the half of us that have a birthday coming up in November and December...please get posting those lists with all your fabulous desires.

As for Christmas...who will be around when? Are we exchanging gifts this year? Are we having a get together? Thoughts anyone????

i learned something about myself today

i have discovered that i am NOT a baker.

cupcakes are sure yummy though!

I love you Homeostasis

You keep me warm inside. You are the balance in my life. Although your feedback is almost always negative, you're honest. I couldn't live without you.

So it's begun; the slow transition from fall to winter. A good portion of last year's leaves have been shed, and today it began to rain. The kind of drizzly gray sky that makes you want to sleep in and stay toasty. And gasp, I've even bought another article of warm clothing to wear. I'm sure the 2nd layer will come in handy.

So how did your Halloweens go huh? I'm happy most of you have been responding lately. Just need to get Pat and Kim to post now about their current goings ons =) How about it you two? Indulge me?

Hey Pat, you know we wouldn't be the Mokroopals without you right? In fact, I probably never would have met any of you if it weren't for Pat. Rumor has it you've
been playing WoW less, and spending your time doing something else but who knows except you? Care to fill us in? Whatever it is, I hope you're enjoying life and staying healthy, and you know we're here for you.


So for actual Halloween night I dressed as the Mad Scientist once again except this time I augmented my costume with giant rubber gloves. My roommates and I had quite a bit to drink (Oh Captian, My Captain.. Captain Morgan that is...) and we walked around downtown Santa Cruz. It was quite a spectacle. They closed off all of downtown and people just paraded up and down the streets. It was quite festive. I may have been a bit bored or maybe I had too much to drink or just perhaps both, but I romped around by myself for quite a while. A Mad Scientist looking for Frankenstein.. or so I thought. It wasn't until later I recognized the folly of this thought. The mad scientist IS Frankenstein. The Monster has no name. And when you think about what happened in the book, maybe it is Dr. Frankenstein who is the true monster. But now I'm just over-analyzing. I was quite tipsy and had a jolly good time, it really is that simple.

So next week I have another set of finals coming up, I've been doing a good job of working on my site lately, still working on getting the parts to fix the car, and have not yet made those room improvements I was speaking of. I'm also going to a concert in SF this weekend, good times.

Kressler, I'm glad you're enjoying teaching more this year. Maybe the first couple of years in teaching are the hump years and everything just gets smoother after that =) Although, yes, the grading still sounds as lethal as ever. I hope you have some decent aides that can help you or that you find a better way of going about it. Although there's no reason for you to be one of the tired ones. You can't really live life and be busy on someone else's behalf. Hopefully you take some time to relax as well. Balance Kress! Just like good old Homeostasis taught us.

Hehe... your first kiss was on a holiday too huh? The prize of being smuggly correct goes to whoever can guess which holiday mine was on! Another interesting tidbit, did you guys know my favorite holiday is thanksgiving?
