communion, a hike and 3 minutes in the microwave

August 29th, 2006 at 11:18 am [ # ] · View Comments · life

So yesterday was quite an interesting day. It started off not so good, with an IT meeting, which was great for catching up on sleep.
It didn’t get interesting until after dinner though. We had campus worship/communion in Odle Gymnasium, with pretty much everyone. After worship, all the upperclassman sat down, and cheered [...]

Well, I’m almost all settled in now. But this isn’t going to be a normal list of events post. This is more of a get this off of my mind post.

Alright, I’ve made it to Indiana safely. No security pat downs, no liquids on the aircraft, and most importantly, no m0$%&#-f@^%#!* snakes on my m0$%&#-f@^%#!* plane. The motel on the other hand, was much worse.
I woke up at 4:30 yesterday, took a shower and then we drove off to Austin Bergstrom Intl Airport. [...]

So this movie theatre downtown (the Alamo) had this contest. They paired up a random animal with a random mode of transportation, and then got people to make movies on them. The winner was racoons on a space shuttle. Watch it here.
It’s actually pretty funny. You can also see the 2nd [...]

Haiku Deathmatch, Group Piece Open Mic

August 11th, 2006 at 4:47 pm [ # ] · View Comments · life

So I arrived slightly early to the Group Piece open mic venue (Alamo Theatre Downtown). Still going on was the Haiku Deathmatch.
Now, I’m not completely poetically illiterate, but I haven’t dealt with Haiku’s and such since, oh, fifth grade. And let me tell you, these Haiku’s were not elementary school material. Some [...]

Post Bout #20

August 10th, 2006 at 9:04 pm [ # ] · View Comments · life

Oh my goodness. Let me say it again, OH MY GOODNESS. The poets this round were amazing. I was going to go to either the Hideout or Antone’s, but I was steered towards Progress Coffee by Phil West.
I was at first leery since it looked teeny weeny, and it was. And [...]

Austin is growing on me like mutant fungus

August 10th, 2006 at 3:53 pm [ # ] · View Comments · life

So I’ve decided that I like Austin. Downtown Austin that is. There always seems like there’s something to do, as long as you know where to go.
And the people are so nice. On my first shoot down, a guy commented on my camera. We had a little discussion about lenses and [...]

Post Poetry Slam, Bout 1

August 9th, 2006 at 8:41 pm [ # ] · View Comments · life

Oh man, it was awesome. The poets were just so good. It was quite evident that the room leaned heavily towards the left. And although I don’t agree with most of the poems of political content, I thoroughly enjoyed them.
There was a poem on a new video game w/ Dick Cheney in [...]
