Hairy Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!
So far my break has been enjoyable… Hit up $1 burger night at Snickers and played some PS2 (the new TMNT game) with some buddies, played street hockey with my neighbor, and did some skiing, drinking, and card playing with other friends, and had a nice Christmas with most of my family.
Hope you all had a warm and enjoyable holiday!

Well “Winter Break” has been in effect for a little over a week now, and I’m enjoying it a lot. Got to go skiing all day Thursday, and probably going again on Monday and/or Tuesday.
Checked my grades online today, got a B in both my classes! I’m sporting a 3.0, and I’m really excited about that! I’m sick of hearing people whine about their GPA not being 4.0, it’s just sickening. 3.0 is an accomplishment for me, it’s the highest GPA I’ve had, and I worked hard for it, therefore I’m proud of it!
I think I might’ve mentioned that I might be racing in college this year, I’m not going to. Practices are *all day* tuesday/thursday, and that is hard enough to work a schedule around. The other factor is I’m new to the area and don’t want to have so much money tied up in a season pass to ONE ski area. Will probably look into it a little more next year.
I’m not sure why, but I’m stressing a little right now. I’m usually good at dealing with day-to-day stress, but I’m a little tense tonight. Hopefully I’ll get a bunch done tomorrow and start getting prepared for the future a bit. We’ll see. *sigh*

Well, I got the job. Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, I start after the holiday vacation. That’s good news, though some spending money for my trip would be nice. I think my official job title is “Microcomputer Support Apprentice”, though I’m not certain. Yay job!
I think I’ve decided to not do the ski team thing. It would eat up too much time (literally ALL DAY 2 days a week plus 4 straight weekends and like 2 weeks at the end for regionals and nationals), maybe next year. I’ll be doing plenty of skiing over the holiday, and there are plenty of trips through the outdoor program and the local ski shop to any of the ski areas around.
Thanksgiving was great fun, spent it with my brother and his family in Boise ID. Did some skiing at Bogus Basin, snow was a tad sparse and it rained one day. “A bad day on the slopes is better than a good day at school/work/whatever”
Decided against that “risky business proposal”. I’ll just say the story begins with “So I met this guy in a bar…” and involves selling some equipment (that’s currently in another state) on ebay. I don’t know if I would’ve gotten burned if I did it, but I wasn’t comfortable with it at all.
So the holidays are coming up.. wanna see my spectacular decorations?

Was talking to Zack on MSN (via Fire of course) and the subject of an entertainment centers and computing set-ups came up. I ended up taking some photos of my setups. Some other people have been asking if I was ever going to take photos and post them, and I never got around to it until today, so here you go:
Enjoy. (as usual, click on the thumbnails for the full version, IIRC each are around 80k)
