Do I look like this dude?

Someone told me today that I look a little like Takuya Kimura... I have no idea who is, but I don't see the resemblance.

What's in your bracket?

I pretty much stink at picking NCAA teams, but here's a link to my bracket.

I inevitably lose a couple Sweet 16 teams before the first weekend even starts and I'm currently very upset at Winthrop for being such chokers at the end of the game.

If San Diego State loses tonight, I will lose all interest in the tourney

Crap, San Diego State lost, too :(
*Sigh*, at least I'm getting closer to picking the right games...

Went to a David Crowder Band / Third Day concert today... pretty cool. Crowder was quite the amusing character and they played some pretty hard rock. Third Day was much more worship band type rock, encouraging the audience to sing, praying every now and then, etc. Good stuff!!

It was a little disconcerting that the band asked people to wave their cellphones as lights. I guess we're high tech now and beyond carrying lighters.. it was quite the sight looking back at rows and rows of cellphones.

Good seats... I still laugh everytime I see Crowder since he looks like such a hobo

Pseudo Spring Break

Now that I'm no longer in school, I don't really get to enjoy the pleasures of Spring Break, but at least for the past week I got to get a taste of it with Roothie in town during her break! Unfortunately, the weather was pretty gross (frightfully cold with episodes of hail), but we still managed to have a good time...

One aspect was shopping around for some home improvement, including looking at some area rugs, an entryway doormat, and potential house plants. We got to varying degrees of success on the items, but the rug I picked up from Ikea was pretty sweet. I just hope it doesn't get too dirty too quickly since it's an off-white color.



We also managed to play some sports in the brief respites from the harsh weather. I popped my tennis racket's strings, so an initial tennis attempt was postponed, but we managed to get some tennis in later during the week. Apparently Ruth's been training hard because she was pretty dominating.



Ruth also learned how to throw a football this weekend... not bad at all. She's not a very convincing football player just holding the ball in a jacket, though.



We also did a lot of eating, as usual... with both at Hobees and Sonos, among other places. At Hobees, we definitely got one of the largest pieces of blueberry coffeecake ever served... it was pretty absurd.





On Friday, I took a little time off to shadow a pediatric ENT surgeon at Stanford in the OR.. that was pretty sweet. I definitely have a newfound respect for doctors/surgery. It was pretty sick what a wide variety of procedures I saw in one morning and how intricate some of the steps were. I'm probably not cut out for something like that, but it was pretty cool to watch, nonetheless.

Finally, we also spent some time at Shoreline since Ruth seems to never get tired of feeding the ducks...



It was definitely good to catch up over the whole week, but it certainly went by really fast =(

So spoiled...

Mmmm... foood....
