It’s official. Destination Angerer/Motylinksi (2) is Cancun, MX. After this arctic cold spell we have been experiencing here, I am ready for some sun. We’ve been debating back and forth over the last couple of months about a cruise, a carribbean destination, or a Mexican destination. We finally settled on Cancun for a week at the end of February. I can’t wait for the beach, the booze, the sun, and maybe some snorkeling… oh and the mule ride.

On a second note, Tina and I attended the AVP Hot Winter Nights tournament at the Target Center last night. It was cool to see the pros play. Some of the names were non-descript if you don’t follow the AVP, but they are still pros. The played King of the Beach style which made it interesting. All of the matches were pretty even which was surprising. I figured there would be at least one pairing either on the Men’s or Women’s side that would dominate.

After talk of all the sun, I am hoping it’s a cure for what I think is a flu or cold bug that I coming down with. I’ve had a sore throat the last two days and I can feel it slowly creeping into my ears, nose, and head. I’m waiting/dreading the morning I wake up with a full blown infection or flu. Unfortunately most of the medicine that helps me is the drowsy kind that makes a guy feel weird. So it’ll have to wait for the weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, it’s the Annual Sno-ball Open. At this point it looks like I will be staying home as it won’t do much for my pending misery. Drinking outdoors while golfing on a large slab of ice tend not to help these situations.

P.S. I finally got an iPhone. It’s been everything I thought it would be and more… next up is a MacBook Pro.

Well after a lot of back forth with myself, I finally purchased an iPhone. So far so good. I’m impressed with it’s functionality and usability.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of webapps I can find to run on it. Hell I might rent a movie sometime!

So I am weeding through a web service at work and I find this comment in the code.

‘Nuff said. If you know you’ll appreciate it and maybe even chuckle.

Last night we also held the End of the Year Banquet for Volleyball. We served out 9 cans of beer. It was also Scoop’s retirement party. I think he’s got a little Rocket Roger in him though. Juice him up a little and he’ll be playing again. Farewell Scoop.

Finally pulled into my second nearest gamestop and reserved myself a copy of Guitar Hero III for the Wii.  For whatever reason my local gamestop doesn’t do the midnight release thing.  It’s all good tho.

I’m pretty pumped as I have been a fan of GH on the PS2, but since I don’t own one I’ve never been able to just jam away at my own discretion.  Well that’s all gonna change come Oct. 28 at 12:00:00AM.  Although I have a prior engagement I’ll make my way up to gamestop for the release.  Since I won’t be able to do the early registration I may have to stand in line for a bit, or so says the local nerd with whom I negotiated a copy of Gh3.  Jason
says he’s coming over at 12:30 with his guitar.  We’ll see what happens since we (he more than me) has a certain little b-day to function at the next day.

I did find it interesting how much more nerdy the employees where I purchased GH3 vs my local shop.  No wonder Jason likes to go in there and shoot the shit and ruffle their feathers a bit.  Not so much the case at my home location.

Come Sunday let the red bull flow!

Perhaps…

I am going to attempt to play, not necessarily listen, to each song on my ipod.  I have them queued up as one big shuffle… all 7122 of them.  I certainly don’t intend to listen to every minute of every song, but it’ll be interesting to see how many I actually skip through.

Some skips will be made because of moods, others because of shitty songs.  At the very least I should have a good idea of my inventory and what I need to get rid of.

I’m not entirely sure it’s gonna work out tho.  There are times when I get a hankering for a particular artist or song.  I’ll see what happens.

The first snow of the season is hitting us hard. It looks like a doozy outside and I don’t really even know what the end result is supposed to be… other than clogged freeways and plenty-o-accidents during the normal commute hours.

Now that the holiday season is upon us, it is nice to actually get some snow to get into the mood a little more.

I got a strange message from Jason the other day. It seems Tina was caught at the bowling alley with another dude. Don’t worry, I’ve got my eyes peeled. I knew the Wii extended beyond the doors of my household. On a side note, I have really been impressed with the Wii so far. The new forecast channel is neat and I have a feeling once Opera comes out tomorrow I can spend even more time dilly dallying around.

Got a Wii? Share your Wii number with me (just drop me an email or throw it in a comment). I’d love to have a huge parade one of these days.
Happy Holidays everyone. Be safe.
