folks, what's happenin. it's a beautiful day outside. after three consecutive days of rain, the sun has come out.
there has been some serious flooding in the region, and i'm sure a lot of people have had to deal with some situations that were not ideal. luckily, i kind of live on a hill, so i didnt have to deal with it.
my mom said it's the worst flooding she can remember since 1997, when my towns high school flooded and was shut down for several months. the high schoolers had class at my middle school from like 7am to noon, and us middle schoolers had class from 12-5pm. those were the days. sleeping in til 11am, watching sunsets from class. good times.
i had a good weekend. friday night i just hung out and made chocolate pudding, which turned out really well. saturday day i did some things, then went over to a friends where i heated up some gnocchi and pasta sauce, then cooked a nice lemony green beans dish. yummy.
saturday night i got invited to a house party right down the street from me. i met up with a couple friends there. it was a 1920s themed party. it seemed like everyone had a costume but me! it was fun though, playing loud music, dancing, hanging out, joking around. some good, clean fun. stayed until 2am (at which point it turned to 3am), then went to sleep after 4am.
barely left the house on sunday. people were coming over to my place all day which was awesome, i barely had to go out in the rain! the brackets came out sunday evening and i started researching (still got a long ways to go though).
the flooding was kinda nuts yesterday. multiple roads were blocked off, and i blew it and went the wrong way more than once. there were a bunch of towns nearby that got it real bad. i didnt see too much craziness, but the traffic was pretty ugly.
we won our basketball game last night. i scored 4 points. i also airballed a free throw and missed a wide open layup. but i made the call to play man defense instead of zone, because i thought we needed more energy and better rebounding, and sure enough they only scored 5 points in the first half. this was the team that beat us in the first game when i wasnt there, so it felt good to get revenge. we have a rematch next week with a team that weve already lost to, so i want revenge next week too.
gotta focus up and get to the gym a bunch. i haven't lifted weights in several weeks. part of that is because i dont want to beef up too much. i've also been trying to do cardio so that i have some decent fitness.
ok i'm gonna start compiling some links for a links post. i'll give you some highlights. i'll try to post more this week.
cya! -d
