Checksum Arcanius

I recently attended two Seattle Mariners baseball games at Safeco field. On Sunday, Jonathan invited me along with some tickets he got from his boss to watch the Mariners play the Texas Rangers. It was a beautiful day and a fun game. The Mariners won on prolific offense. I took lots of pictures and consumed much bad-for-me food. I had a great time.

Last night, I went to a game against the Twins with Christine. The weather was cold; it began to rain during the game. It was night so pictures didn’t work out so well. I didn’t have a jacket. I wasn’t comfortable for most of the game. The M’s lost badly. I felt a little sick from some food I ate right before the game. Basically, everything sucked, and I didn’t have a very good time.

The end.

was the last time I cried.

Chip… Chip… Chip away at our rights, until none are left.

I played Frisbee this morning, starting around 11:00 (it actually started at 10, but I had a late night). I had one really incredible catch, but I couldn’t seem to throw it right at all. Hopefully things will be back in order by Monday for the men’s game we have then.

In other news, I want the NBA playoffs to start.

I guess this is why Gmail is still Beta… I just got this and a few of my friends have as well, and we definitely have not been doing any weird stuff with our Gmail accounts… anyone else running into this recently?

Yesterday was Christine’s 22nd Birthday, and since I was wearing my “I’m blogging this” t-shirt I guess it is my duty to faithfully recount the events. I actually had the sublime opportunity to both start and end the day with her; such the the opportunity of a Bioengineer to always be doing homework around midnight. The day technically started at midnight, as we were working on our Bioengineering 481 project plans — we decided to do some homework together after the CREE kickoff. After wishing her the first of many Happy Birthdays, I dropped her off at home.

Bioengineering 357 was cancelled due to the instructor’s illness, so I got to sleep in a little before meeting up with Jason to go over our 403 presentation. Following this, I grabbed food at the Hub (salad & breadsticks) and lunched with Christine in the confines of the CSE building where we printed out our 481 project proposals. Next came Surface Analysis with Buddy Ratner, then Bioengineering 481, where the party really started to get going. The previous night (really, that morning, before sleep), Alice and Hoyin baked a cake for Christine, which was presented during the 481 break. Pretty much every junior in the department sang Happy Birthday, and then we all had some cake, which definitely helped keep me awake for the next hour of class.

After 481, the four of us (Alice, Hoyin, Christine and I) dropped each other off at the HUB, Bagley, and then Alpha Phi before I headed down the the intramural fields for a corec Ultimate game. The team that I was playing with — and hav enow joined — won handily, so I raced back home, picking up Dennis along the way, showered, and then picked up Christine, Hoyin, and Alice and headed to the downtown Cheesecake factory. Pnina met us there, and we had a grand time with some good food and occasional good service (my roommate Dan was working, but didn’t have our table, which is unfortunate because he was much better than the server who was assigned to us.)

We walked Pnina back to her place (a beatiful condo with a view of the sound), where Christine opened her present (a second Wii controller), then she and her boyfriend drove us back to my car, and I took everyone home. About the time I got Christine home, it was again midnight, so I got to end the day with her as well. As an extra treat, Chrstine said that it was one of the best birthdays ever. Good friends and good times lead to good memories.

Ben McElroy, of BEMdesign.com has given me the opportunity to try out his new WordPress theme, Hibachi2. Check out the link in the upper-left to switch over (or, if you have already switched, the link will probably be on the lower right). Or, if you’re reading this from an RSS reader of some sort, you’ll have to actually show up “in person” to see what in the world I’m talking about.

As time goes by, I will try to move some of my other features into the new theme — the picture bar, for example.
