I drink your milkshake. I drink it ALL up.

As I’m sitting here in the lounge listening to “Sexual Eruption” and waiting for the ‘critical’ update for Word 2008 to install (I’ve been neglecting to do it for several months due to lack of hard drive space), I decided to blog a bit because I’ve forgotten about this poor little dude while I’ve been dealing with life. Midterms are almost over (last one tomorrow!), and life is just about to get pretty groovy again. I have no real motives for this post, hence I apologize in advance for the haphazardness of the post that is about to ensue.

Cal is finally starting to look decent in football again..and by decent, I REALLY mean ‘decent’. Our defense has won us the past few games with an abundance of forced fumbles, interceptions, and beastly plays. Sucks that we lost Rulon Davis for at least five weeks, but Cameron Jordan has taken his place nicely and earned the title of Pac-10’s defensive player of the week, with Bryan Anger taking his side as the Pac-10’s special teams player of the week. I remember the growing pains of last year’s defense, where it’d be ANOTHER converted 3rd and long….again. But no longer! Our pass rush is looking really good, and our corners are shaping to be the hottest in the Pac-10. Big ups to SQT, Darian Hagan, and Chris Conte, who just got his first career interception! (Better known as CHRIST, CONTE; LEARN TO FUCKING READ A PLAY, YOU DIP SHIT.)

While our defense is starting to look solid, our offense continues to sputter and frustrate. Yeah, not having a single first down in like the last 22 minutes of the game will do that to you. It’s readily apparent that Tedford loves Longshore far too much for his own good (a post for another time), but whatever gets the team the W is what’s most important, I guess. Once Best is healthy again, i’m sure our ultimate RB tandem will be incroyable again. Our WR corp still needs to step up! Boateng is turning into a bonafide receiver and blocker. (Call him IHOP; he’s serving up pancakes everywhere. …Ok, fuck you, I thought it was funny. :( ) Michael Calvin still needs to live up to his hype, and Sean Young hasn’t been getting many catches lately.

Overall though, we’re 4-1, and I’ll take that. AP: 28 and USA: 25 is good; we’re still flying under the radar and hopefully a few solid wins in the next few weeks will propel us in the top 15.

In other news, classes are going well. I can’t say I’m really excited about what I’m learning these days, but such is the life of a medical school-hopeful. I really, really, really, am considering adding another major/minor of some sort that actually suit my interests (Psychology, soc..yeah lame.), but we’ll see. It’s been a good month a half since school has started, and things are going ahead fullspeed. It’s easy to lose sight of things, but remember, life is just too darn good to you to care about the little crap that piles up. Live and let learn, and just laugh in between, yeah?

Climbing sucks balls. Yeah, you heard it here first. I’m making my solid transition to 4’s, and my arms/ego hurt all the time. One of the FEW times I’ve wished that I were 2-3 inches taller (and by FEW, I mean FIRST) are when I’m trying to bump up to a pinch that’s no more than 4-5 inches away, but GUESS WHAT??????? I HAVE NO MORE ARM TO GIVE! I then have to settle for some awkward dyno that I can hit maybe 20% of the time and get “Oooh’s” from random people watching, while the other 80% of the time I dejectedly walk away and go do cartwheels in th corner with tears streaming down my face. Yeah, so climbing sucks balls. No, really.

Because I have no evident control over money, the only things I will permit myself to buy until the end of the year:

1.) Food

2.) Parts for a fixie

3.) A pair of Keds

4.) A pair of mittens

5.) A pair of chinos

6.) Christmas Presents

7.) A resole for my Preds, and maybe splurge on a second pair of Optimus Primes

8.) Some fucking pepto bismol, because my stomach feels like trash!!!!!!!!!!

Last and most importantly: Albert and I have finally launched our fledgling music blog! Go read it at www.spacetoasters.tumblr.com. You don’t have to read the words because they probably suck and make no sense, but at least download the music because there’ll be a lot of dope tracks. But Miktrebla is a nazi and will only let me upload a track a day, so I’ll still be uploading a lot of crap here, too. Cool.

Hot tracks I’ve been listening to as of late:

Lady Ga Ga - Just Dance (RAC Edit!)

Arcade Fire - Brazil (really cute!)

Ok, updates after I finish my lab. BYE.

UPDATE: FUCK WORD 2008. AN HOUR AND IT STILL HASN’T FINISHED.
