This week’s recap (Dec 14th – Dec 18th, 2009)
Monday Dec 14th – One very slow day at work. Honestly didn’t do much until the last hour of the day 
… 6pm conference call that went until 7:20, not cool. Watched an episode of “Lie to Me” titled ‘Tractor Man’ – guest starring Felicia Day – with Jessica and Kenny. To be honest, the only reason that I’m watching this episode is just because Felicia Day is in it. Not sure if I’ll get into this series though. Reminded that LOST Season 6 premieres end of Jan 2010! Though I may be out of the country for that. 
Tuesday Dec 15th – Lunch over at Swagath Indian Cuisine with the crew for Jessica and Dan’s last week before going back to school. Photos on Facebook. Went over to CPR to celebrate a work related project. Ended up staying late with a few co-workers for some more drinks, food and good conversations. Maybe a little too many drinks. Spent 5.5 hours there. Oops!
Wednesday Dec 16th – Worked from home today. Went cycling at 3pm for 11.5 miles when there was a sun break, but it ended up raining! Wet Wednesday Movie night over at my place! Watched Star Wars, and Terminal. Thankful for great friends! (lee, katherine, jessica, dan, cari – thanks for coming!) Made dinner for 6. Spaghetti with Italian sausage, fresh tomatoes, onions, green bell pepper, topped with parmesan, side salad and onion bread. Chopped up sausage, diced onion and minced garlic – browned with olive oil. Store bought spaghetti sauce, added diced green bell pepper and fresh tomatoes. Salad on side with cherry tomatoes and dressing.
Thursday Dec 17th – Thirsty Thursday over at Erik / Dan’s place. Last official one for the year. Kinda watched 12 Monkeys, Team America World Police. Played fluxx and cards. Photos on Facebook. Watched LOST with Jess for a few hours afterwards! Awesome show
Friday Dec 18th – Woke up after 4 hours of sleep. Oh man.. that hurt. Major stressing day, too much work to do, no time left. Went cycling with Jessica during lunch. Mother nature decided to be nice to all of us this Friday and kept it dry. I need to find out what is making a creaking sound on my bike on Monday. Actually finished the stuff that needed immediate attention. I started vacation at 3:30pm today! Driving up to Government camp and staying at a lodge tonight. Boarding Mt Hood Meadows Saturday and Sunday! Will post pics.
It’s been a fun week

This week’s recap (Dec 6th – Dec 13th, 2009)… busy busy!
Sunday Dec 6th – Watched ‘Up’ at my place with Dan, Erik, Jessica and Kenny. Bought the Blu-Ray disc three weeks ago, never saw it in the theater either. But was pleasantly surprised at the plot. Good movie
Monday Dec 7th – Game night over at John’s place. Watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog (got some new viewers too!). Might be my 15th time of watching that. I’ve lost count. Played Apples to Apples and Curses… the latter is one crazy, CRAZY game. Didn’t get a chance to play Fluxx though… next time.
Tuesday Dec 8th – I think I ended up having a late lunch that day and ate cafeteria food from work. Yuck. Hit up Bike Gallery and REI for some winter cycling gear after work with Erik. Gonna give this year round cycling a shot.
Wednesday Dec 9th – Lunch at Orenco Station Grill with Jessica. Good conversations at Starbucks. Wet Wednesday over at Erik/Dan’s place – watched ‘Death Proof’ in good company. Showed one episode of ‘The Guild’ and the “(Do you want to date my) Avatar” music video. Eh, not for all I guess.
Thursday Dec 10th – Tuna fish sandwiches for lunch @ Jessica’s. Yum I think I just worked this evening. Not a fun night I tell you.
Friday Dec 11th – Late lunch at Pho Tango with Erik. FINALLY started my paper work for getting a Visa into China for work in January. I should have done that sooner. Stupid weather forecasts say freezing rain and snow in PDX starting late Friday night. It never happened. Forecasts pushed back to Saturday. Left work early. Had last minute movie night my place. Watched ‘Breach’ and an episode of ‘Fringe’ with Jess. Made fried rice for company and an awesome chicken recipe (thanks Jessica!).
Saturday Dec 12th – Surprised to find it dry outside and very happy that the weatherman was wrong about the “ice storm” in Portland. Picked up winter cycling pants. Went with Jessica and Kenny to pick up Jess’ new bike at River City Bicycles and went for a short 23 mile ride. Tuned the front derailleur a little bit. Everything should shift a-OK now! Zier invited us over to watch Boondock Saints, then we hit up the theater that same night to watch Boondock Saints 2. Watching the first one in its entirety was a good idea… I’ve only seen bits and pieces of it.
Sunday Dec 13th – Yet again surprised to find that it was dry and not icy outside. Weather forecasts all wrong. Went on a 26 mile cycling ride. John joined up with me at the Evergreen theater around mile 10. 31 degrees at the start, 34 towards the end. Winter gear rocks.
HA! I didn’t think about work all weekend. This is wonderful. Thank you for an awesome week everyone!
Work, Game, ale fest, bike shopping!

Short recaps of this week:
Dec 2nd – Bike shopping over at Performance Bike. Service not so great. Also working too much, conference calls until late at night.
Dec 3rd – Civil War game. Good game all around, great job Beavers. Next year it’s in our house. Checked work e-mail until 1am Sunday.
Dec 4th – The annual Holiday Ale Festival in Downtown Portland. Another year of drinks, false warmth and random cheer from Portland’s living room. Went with Jessica and met up with the usual bunch. Ran into a few friends that I haven’t seen in a long time there as well. It was COLD outside!
Dec 5th – Went bike shopping with Jessica. I’m sure she has her eyes set on the Specialized Roubaix Elite. I’m jealous! Also showed “The Guild.” Yes, my goal for spreading this show around is progressing :muhahahaha:. 
Dec 5th – Chris’ birthday party. Welcome back!
I would like to write more, but the brain is hardly working right now. I woke up at 8am this morning and it has been a full day… maybe i’ll update this later (or not). I guess you will just have to check back!

I’m pretty sure that everyone that I know has seen a post from me regarding “The Guild” by now. If you’ve managed to click on the links that I’ve been posting here, Twitter and/or Facebook, then good for you! If not, here’s your chance to watch all of the episodes in one place.
The series is about a group of six guild members in an (unnamed) MMO called the “Knights of Good” which stand for good… and all things related to… good! The storyline revolves around Cyd Sherman aka Codex (Felicia Day) who is a socially awkward individual that talks into her webcam and plays RPGs. She was recently dumped by her therapist and has an online gaming addiction. She meets one of her guild members in real life after he mistakens Codex’s online flirting for the real thing… all because of a few misplaced semi-colons . Codex needs help and asks all of her online guild to meet face-to-face. That’s when things get interesting. And complicated.
Watch The Guild!
Buy The Guild!
(Do You Want to Date my) Avatar music video!
I know, a lot of you may be thinking “I have no interest in seeing this”.. but I challenge you. Watch the first few episodes from Season 1, 2 or 3, or the music video and I bet that you will have changed your mind and become a fan as well. With a 20million+ world wide views for an online series, you can’t go wrong. If you really don’t like it, at least you would have had a few good laughs in the hour! I also bet you that you can relate to the characters and there is an equivalent personality that you know.
