Olympics: Watching 20k Race Walking Marathon

Garrett — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:39:51 +0000

Just watching race walking on the olympics before I hit the sack. I don’t know what it is but since I’ve had it on in the background before I go to bed for about an hour, I feel obligated to watch them finish. Race walking looks so awkward, very unnatural. What’s cool about it is since it’s the 20k they have the track going out of the Birds Nest so all the footage of the racers has the Nest in the background. It looks pretty cool. 4km to go, I guess they’re going to end up back in the Birds Nest for the grand finish. Is Kazakhstan going to take it??

How to save time in the morning

As I’m getting ready for bed I would just like to throw out a few pointers to be able to get ready in the morning in under 15 mins.

1. Sleep in your shirt (or under shirt) for the next day. Free up that 4 minutes it takes to pick out a shirt.
2. Sleep in your socks for the next day. Similar to #1 only this time with socks!
3. Shower and shave the night before.

I guess I’m just saying get ready the night before! If you’re a real man (like me) you’ll sleep in all your clothes for the next day and have a bowl of cereal with milk on your night stand. Sure the milk might get curdled but you know what they say; drink the liquid and eat the curdles for lunch! goodnight

Awesome Sunday

Yep…a tree fell on my car…yea there’s a dent. Can you believe it? The only tree within in sight on that blew down and it landed on my car. I need to start playing the lottery!

Dylan’s Boutique Fashion Show

Well I did it…I went to a fashion show. Elena really wanted to go and none of her friends were available so I ponied up the courage to make a pretty girl happy. It actually was kind of fun, just hung out with a beer while waiters walked around offering beef carpaccio and salmon tartar canopes, although it would have been nice to eat some cooked meat.
The actual fashion show part was pretty cool too, but surprisingly short! About 10min! I tried to take pics but they wouldn’t stop moving! What gives!

Jalostotitlan, Mexico

Well, just got back from Jalostotitlan. The town is pretty awesome, there was a carnival going on which proved to be a very cultural experience. There was a man selling baby chicks that were dyed different colors and had little hats glued to their heads…I know

Graduation!

Garrett — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 06:02:49 +0000

Finally, on Saturday I graduated! It was cold, my hands were hurting. Most of my family came up from southern California as well as my family in Danville. We had a pretty big party at our apartment for me and Evan (and Brent too!). I was surprised that we could fit so many people in our apartment. It was great fun. Here’s some pics, there’s more at my flickr.

Adobe Books

Garrett — Thu, 17 May 2007 09:22:35 +0000

This afternoon I went to Adobe Books in the Mission and read one of my creative writing pieces. It was basically the final for the class, to pick your favorite piece and read it in front of everybody. I decided to read a dialogue that Mimi (the teacher) recommended I should read. Since it was a dialogue Elena read one part and I read the other. People we’re laughing so I think it went pretty well. I feel good about it. It was awesome, a lot of people we’re brandishing brown bags. It was interesting hearing everyone else’s pieces.
