Famously Fresh Taste!

Well Hello Merry Blog Fans!

I realize that I haven't posted in a while, so here we go. The internet has been on and off this past week. So I haven't been online and posting as much. But now the interwebs have returned and so I will post. This week has been more classes and such. Not much exciting going on.

We did go to Shogun, which is a Japanese steak house out here. And of course Thursday night is boneless wing night at B Dubs. So we went and had some wings. In class we had to do a 3 mile run and then covered about 2.5 for a team challenge. So I've gotten some running in. Oh, and Gene Kranz spoke and I got his book signed. For those of you who don't know, he was the flight director for many NASA missions. Most famously he was in charge during the Apollo 13 mission. His book is about a bunch of the missions he was in charge for. So I am rather excited to have that book signed.

So yeah, kinda a dull week, had a relaxing Friday night. We had a few beers and some of the guys here all watched Sunshine. I still contend that they had a great premise for a scifi movie there, but just screwed it up with the horror/slasher bit they went with. If they had cut out the whole lets go to the other ship and get that bomb and just stuck with take the bomb to the sun all would be well. You would still have to over look a bunch of small things, but oh well. They could have still had one crew member go nuts and such and keep an aspect of it. But yeah, I think they could have done a much better job there. Kinda like I am Legend. Overall not a bad movie, but it could have been so much better. If they had gone with the infected gaining intelligence then it could have been much more interesting.

Ok, enough ranting on movies. Yesterday my suitemate and I played some golf. As it turns out neither of us is that good, so we played match scoring. The game came down to the last hole. A par 3 with huge gap between the tee and the green. I hit over the gap, but ended up in a sand trap. He hit it down into the gap and had to shoot out of it. I hit mine out of the sand onto the green. He sunk a long putt. My first putt hit the edge of the hole, but then I had another putt to tie the match. It was a good game.

And now I have the history channel on. Its that show about how the world is ended in 2012. First off its based on the Mayans. Now, if the Mayans had this amazing calendar and they were soo smart and apparently predicted the Europeans were coming, were did they go? Then a Roman oracle predicted it. An oracle that got high on natural gas, uttered some jibberish and that was the prediction. And then there is a Chinese book, that if you take the 64 hexagrams that you get. Put them on a graph, then put that graph on a timeline starting where with think this thing was written, you can say hey look, this point happens here and this point happens here. And then it stops in 2012. Well, if I draw a graph and put it on a time line with a random starting point I can claim that the world should have ended yesterday or in a million years.

Eh, today I think that I'm gonna clean up my room here a bit. I need to do some laundry. I may go on a run, perhaps watch a movie. All in all it should be relaxing. I hope that all of you have enjoyed your weekends and such.
