New Trick

With some help from YW today, I learned a new skating trick: The backward crossover! Considering that I can't even do a proper forward crossover, its a miracle I can do a backward crossover huh? And its fun, except that I don't know how to stop, so it can be quite dangerous!

There's going to be 2 huge gatherings/parties in California to celebrate my return. I'll be meeting up for dinner with the canoe/asce people in SoCal for dinner on 26th August, so if anyone's in town just holler out and we'll get you in the list. The weekend after that we'll have a huge potluck party at Christi's place in the Bay Area, where I'll be expecting a much larger and rowdy crowd (hopefully the cops won't come). The exact date is not fixed yet, but it'll be either a thursday, friday or saturday. I know its a long weekend, but no excuses if you're in town let me know!

The one thing I've got to do is go visit the new Davis Hall and take lots and lots of pictures! Which means I have to get a new camera cos the old one's broken. I'm getting a suit, shirt and watch too, to look good for the big wedding, and not to mention the air tickets already cost me a bomb! Coupled with the meager mid-year bonus I'll have to say I'm kinda broke now, but it'll definitely be worth the small fortune I'm spending! Special thanks to R and C who are willing to put me up for my vacation. 3 weeks and counting!

The Longest day (or something)

Did you know that the theme song of the hit show 24 is actually a remix by Armin Van Buuren? It's called The Longest Day or something. Isn't he just great or what?

Oh, and he's Dutch....
