  • California Adventure: Tuesday

    I had previously blogged about some of Tuesday’s major adventures, so rather than rehash it all again I’ll just summarize: Tuesday my friend had class and work, so around 1 I decided to head downtown in search of a local sushi place. The result: Party Sushi. Following the California and Bomb rolls, I moved on…

  • An Awesome Weekend

    Disclaimer: this is going to be a very, very long post. Friday I got the camera lens on my Evo fixed, so I can finally take clear pictures again. Take a peek… Before: my copy of Halo (which arrived a day late, by the way…way to go, Amazon) looking quite hazy. After: tasty chocolate covered…

  • Spinning the wheels

    So, no progress on the efforts to restore a sense of balance. Last week was basically a train wreck for me. It wasn’t pretty. So we try again. I have better hopes for this next week, largely because I have every intention of getting to bed at a reasonable hour tonight. I’ll need to, since…

  • Northern Escape

    This weekend I fled up north with a friend from college to go back home with her. We grabbed lunch at Wild Chef and then started the trip up to Frankfort, which is a really small town on the lake about 3 hours north of Holland. There were two things I really liked about Frankfort.…

  • Friday Night Adventures

    Before I talk about tonight, I should probably back it up a few days. It’s been an odd week. We’ll begin with Tuesday. Tuesday was a hard day to get through. After not really sticking to any kind of workout regimen the entire week prior due to laziness and a sunburn (mostly laziness), 5:30 came…

  • 24

    After last weekend’s beach adventure that saw the return of Cherry Man, I spent the last week recovering. Monday and Tuesday were given over to slathering massive amounts of green aloe vera gel on my sunburned face in a desperate attempt to try and speed the recovery process, and Wednesday and Thursday were spent shedding…

  • The return of Cherry Man

    Last summer I went to the beach…maybe twice. For someone who lives this close to the lake, that’s a positively shameful thing to say. Truth is I didn’t really feel like running around in a bathing suit. Last summer, though, my best friend took me up with him to his place on Lake Charlevoix, which…

  • Sorry. I’ve been busy.

    Part of the reason that I haven’t posted anything in over a week again is because I was either a) too busy or tired to get around to it, b) couldn’t exactly write about it yet, or c) didn’t really have anything worth writing about. “Hooray I ran!” starts to get old after a while.…

  • Runfos and Carfos

    I’ve been getting into the whole running thing a bit lately and last night I decided to take a chance and go on a run with a friend. I hadn’t gone for a run in a couple of years now, and I had never attempted a 3 mile run before; I figured that since I…

  • Birch Run and Relativistic Speeds

    Today was the epic Birch Run adventure. I had been planning to go on a trip like this since last September and had used it as a motivator to get my ass to the fitness center when it was cold outside at 5:30 in the morning. I chose the outlet mall at Birch Run over…
