so, tonight was a kick back to the old school with a meal straight outta 1994. it used to be my specialty, and i've not had it in a long time. yum. (what is it, you ask? well, it's potatoes, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and tvp with chicken seasoning, all fried up nice and crispy over rice)

i missed (actually, am missing would be better) my first monday night football game of the season tonight. why? dont' know. i've been going up to marc and rene's a lot. kinda feel like i'm imposing. they didn't call and invite me up, so i didn't go. instead, i stayed home and watched the newest arrival from netflix, black and white which brings me almost current on ben stiller movies. gotta love bijou phillips and whoever it is getting it on in the opening scene.

which brings me to another point - one of the recurring themes here. love lost. why is it that every movie has to have a sappy love story interweaved into the plot. makes me realize how much it sucks to not have a girlfriend. or is it to not have THE girlfriend. who knows. either way, today was a bad one in that department.

oh -- yesterday was the cave trip. a push trip (which means we go to the edge of the cave and try and extend the boundaries) guess what. we got nothing. a measly 178 feet. which isn't much (if you're wondering) and.. i'm vowing to never do a cave trip the day after snowboarding again. man am i stiff today. sheesh! but... on the way home last night the northern lights were pretty kicking. cool stuff.
