Good times

Well, it's been a busy few weeks (errr month. I mean year. whatever) and it is about time for an update. Since I'm back on the quarter system again, we students here at OSU are about to get blasted with some midterms. But such is life. On to some fun stuff. Last weekend I got the opportunity to spend some time in Bend with the bro...

(yeah, that guy). Last Friday was my friend Gretchen's "owie" party, and good times were had by all down in Eugene. G is healing fast after her auto accident, which is great, but I missed a perfect opportunity to ditch this bottle of Arbor Mist she and Richard gave me and leave it at their place. Seriously, the stuff tastes like a combination of ox piss, hippo sweat and that grape fluoride at the dentist you hated as a kid. I'll get 'em later.

Among other events last weekend, the Oregon State Mt. Club's got a cabin in Sunriver for the holiday weekend. It was great to catch up with some people. Now I wasn't around for this, but some members did a little ice climbing a Saturday ago. That's right, it's been cold enough in Oregon for there to actually be some frozen waterfalls. Greg and Ian have some nice shots on their blogs, and I recommend you check them out. I think it might be time for me to actually get some hammers and some crampons. Speaking of cold, we got our second snowstorm since school started. Apparently, we have a pretty significant La Nina this year. Here's a (bad, I know) pic of the library the other night on my way to the climbing gym.

Since I have my camera back I'll post some pictures of Timbo, Lord Burton and myself on our red rocks trip sometime soon. Actually the climbing shots were just OK, but the pictures of all of us screwing around ended up being pretty freakin' funny. Like I said... good times. Take care everybody!
