That aim conversation wasn’t supposed to go up here. I decided to write something up for that mistake. And I also decided to add up the totals for the NFL Picks. This is probably going to be random (aren’t they all) and a lot of the topics are out of date. I think of something to write about, then I type three sentences, and then I open a new tab and go on myspace or facebook then two hours later I forget that I was writing something. This is also how studying goes for me. And I’m about to do it again. Be back in a little to finish this.
Black Friday
After the Thanksgiving food coma, we went to the outlets in Marysville for the midnight madness event. That’s a great marketing opportunity (“Go to MMM–Midnight Madness at Marysville!”), but they’re called the Seattle Premium Outlets for whatever reason. Anyway, if you ask me, don’t go to the Midnight Madness event at the Seattle Premium Outlets. We walked into the Nike store first. Pretty much everyone in the store was in line. And pretty much everyone in Washington and Vancouver B.C. was in the store.
We grabbed some stuff in Polo but put it back after standing in line for ten minutes and moving five feet. Do you remember when everyone (except me) started getting cell phones and people were pretty good at the first generation Snake? That’s what the line looked like. Puma, Banana Republic, and Coach had Splash Mountain lines just to enter and I imagine it wasn’t any better inside the store. Sometimes you gotta leave Splash Mountain and settle for Matterhorn. A five minute walk was all it took to get to our Matterhorn–McDonald’s.
We weren’t the only ones affected by Ronald’s slick marketing campaign (shopping makes you hungry, but not as much as rollerblade-basketball!), because guess what? More lines! I’ll let my man Canibus explain.
Wit many lines, more lines than a million pair of Adidas
More lines than the bible quoted from Jesus
More lines than a African herd of zebras
I can’t leave him hanging like that.
Niggaz just ain’t fuckin wit the ‘cannabis seteva’
P.S., I’m pretty sure Dan used to work out in his room listening to this song back in High School.
Snow
It’s a week after, but it was nice to see snow again. What’s not nice is having a frozen face in the morning. Oh and the whole thing with Seattle in a gridlock. I didn’t drive on those days but the bus schedule was nonexistent. What matters in the end is that my midterm on Tuesday got moved to Wednesday. Well, that and an entire day of people slipping and being able to see a 100% fall about once an hour. That’s a wonderful rate.
Oak Harbor Football
I meant to write something before the game about how I’ve been reading the recaps of games every week at work and how great the season’s been. But I left for the game before being able to write that. About the game. Lobbestael is a machine. The highlight for me was him recovering the ball when it was bobbled by a Bothell player on a punt. Oak Harbor’s offense was leagues better. Our defense did the job. And our special teams probably could’ve lost the game by itself if given the chance. Bothell’s band was cool and they have some good fans. But our team took a nice souvenir back to the island.
