EMP

I had the opportunity hang out in Seattle this weekend while I was over on the west side for a friends (Chris Trevino's) wedding. The service was pretty nice, small and casual. I stayed over at another friends house for Saturday night and had the opportunity to check out the experience music project in downtown Seattle. In some ways it was like a really well done walk-in VH-1 Special. However, It had some very cool interactive displays. The thing that impressed me most was the "Jam room on the third floor. It was full of instrument, nice ones too, that were wired into computers that taught you the basics, intermediate, or even some advanced techniques and songs. On top of that you can connect with other people in the room and jam with them. We spent four hours touring the place and still didn't get to see everything. If your ever in Seattle and feeling touristy and have appreciation for rock and popular music I'd recommend checking out.

It's cold and its gonna get colder

The low for tonight is 20 degrees F and tomorrow the low is 3!!!!!! Spring and Summer where are you?!?!!!?!!?!

New pictures

I finally pictures up from the rafting trip I took last summer in my photo album.

I got credentials

I am now officially a certified Minister in the Assembly's of God. I did'nt think this was to big a deal when I was applying for it. Basically, I thought it was a church workers licence and that it would open a few more doors for me in the AG. So I was surprised to read in the letter they sent me that I can now legally officiate weddings and funerals. I'm not planning to do either any time soon but thats pretty crazy.

A Weird Night

So heres a word of explanation before this rather random and hopefully funny story. Well maybe not explanation because I don't think its explicable but maybe a prelude. It was a slow pullman night and I wound up hanging out with some of the XA girls downstairs and this all "true" story is the result. Any resemblences of characters to real people is totally intentional :)......

An evening in the desolate hamlet of Pullman.
A composition by Gerg, Ecyoj, dna Anitsirhc

It all began on a dark and lonely night on the
Palouse, in a ghost town known as Pullman. Greg had
planned an evening of fighting Klingons when
suddenly,
from downstairs, he heard a violent thumping of
flesh.
Fearful for Joyce’s life he rushed downstairs to
find
Christina pouring out her anger of being stood up by a
Babe (not the pig) and the proceeding events of the
evening. He was shocked and disturbed by the
violence
being taken out on innocence. She had been
completely
flattened at Christina’s onslaught. After much
debate, Greg finally convinced Christina that the
chicken was dead. The job of cooking was then passed
over to Joyce who has a fear of spicies (yes, that
is
a word). After standing in front of the spice
cupboard in a daze, Greg led her in the scientific
process of choosing the ingredients of the chicken
batter. Her palms started sweating as she began to
pour more and more pepper into the mix. Smelling the
batter many times, they came to the conclusion that
it
was going to be “SOOOO GOOD!!!” (as Christina would
say when she talks about heliskis, strawberry
pretzel
salad, or taffy apple salad). Joyce started to cook
without oil, and smoke started to billow from the
stovetop. Greg quickly lilted up the stairs. He
braved his way back down the stairs through the
smoke
to rescue Christina and Joyce with canola oil. He
came just in time to save the chicken from culinary
disaster.

When everything was under control, Christina let
loose
a tirade of frustration she experienced in the past
few days. She spoke of boys, goldfish, and
batteries,
not to mention a Babe who ditched she and Joyce on
their triple date. Earlier that evening Joyce
assisted
Christina on a hunt for the perfect batteries for
her
new digital camera. The hunt was long and painful,
but only a mild shopping experience that took two
stores and 75 minutes to complete. Batteries were
purchased out of frustration, only to be returned
soon
afterwards through a 20-minute return process. Joyce
ran into two of her former male high school
classmates, who did not recognize her upon first
glance (due to the lack of bangs) and were
captivated
by her mature grace and exquisite beauty. Out of
shyness they kept to themselves and did not ask for
her number. Stupid Boys. Finally approaching the
counter, the button-pusher-boy had no clue what
button
to really push. He only got the job because he liked
to push buttons. The only way he ever got work done
was when a girl showed him what to do. “Yah, stink
bugs are vegetarian right?” Back in the kitchen,
Christina started to vent about her family, and the
boy problems that are beginning with her younger
sister, forty goldfish included. By the end of
Christina’s venting, the mutilated chicken was well
cooked, and ready to be devoured after the appetizer
of chocolate covered pretzels. The three enjoyed
each
other’s company throughout the evening until we
realized it was way past our bedtime (Christina
already asleep on the floor).


The End

Like I said not explicable. Have a great new year everyone.
