Sunny and Cold
I'm a firm believer that weather patterns should not be mixed. For instance, it is sunny and cold today. My inner child says "Oooh sunshine! Wear Chaco's! Play hackey sack!" while my outer child says "It's cold. Put some baggy clothes on. Go snowboarding or sit inside and read." At least from here I have a good view of the Canadian Cascades covered with fresh snow. (That makes me feel all sunny on the inside.)
Yesterday, however, I did not feel sunny inside because I spent the entire day sitting inside. Yesterday was "I should be studious" day. Basically it involved two 3-hour periods of intense isolation in the library broken up by a two hour period of lunch and reading. It definitely wasn't fun but I think it's good to have one of those days every so often. It reminds me that I'm still in college and should focus on getting out of college.
But yesterday's homework bonanza did serve a short term purpose: I'm leaving Friday for Eugene, Oregon this weekend for the OFUDG tournament. I can't remember what the acronym stands for, but I do know that it was changed this year from it's original title OFUK. I'll have some vivid details for you all when I get back, but here's a basic breakdown of what I'll be doing: sit in van for 5 hours, sleep on floor, play frisbee all day, sleep on floor, play frisbee all morning, sit in van for 5 hours, sleep in own bed. (At least that story has a happy ending.) Perhaps this time I'll have photographic proof of my adventures.
I haven't rambled about politics for quite awhile, so if you do not like politics or do not like my ramblings, please stop here.
George W. Bush is a pathetic man. Right now he is over in Asia doing diplomatic visits and whatnot and yet he has the audacity to make political attacks against his detractors at home. He is a guest in these countries and supposed to be improving relations and brokering new deals--and what does he do? He makes a couple of long distance cheap shots with his squeaky little voice. Way to hit a new low, GeeDub.
"Whatever, it's Fairhaven."

The waether is the same here. And I do agree that bush is a pathetic man, I didn't vote for him. Thank goodness for that that would have been a bad chose. But he some how still won so we still have to put up with him. And good luck Eugene and have fun.

Update: I found out the old name for the tournament: Oregon Falls Ultimate Kick-off (hence OFUK). However, I still don't know--and can't figure out--what OFUDG could stand for. ANy ideas?

Maybe they wanted to find an equally humorous (ok, so the new one is way less humorous) but slightly less offensive acronym--the acronyms both mean the same thing.

Just to let you know, we did beat PLU. It was on Sunday morning too, so it was part of the finals bracket. (We sent them home early.)
